HISTORY

After spending many years outside the country as both a student and a professional, the founder of Lioncrest Academy,

Josh Komanapalli, returned to India. He searched extensively for a local school on par with international programs such as those in the United States or United Kingdom but to no avail. Instead, he found many schools using fear-based learning techniques, high student-to-teacher ratio classes with poor hygiene and lack of creative space.

The local schools had not evolved with the times and were still using education methods developed 200 years ago, such as rote learning. To ensure that children would have the same opportunities he had, he started Lioncrest Academy. The Academy would be a school having both academic excellence and holistic education on par with the best schools in the United States and the United Kingdom. For academic education, the Academy uses the IB curriculum and inquiry-based learning to ensure our children's future is bright with many options. For holistic education, he created an environment for the child to feel safe, confident, and creative so they can freely grow in expressing themselves and become individuals with unique talents and passions.

LEADERSHIP

The day-to-day operations for Lioncrest Academy are led by Principal Esther Arathi, who has good experience in education. The school has a number of international partners and leaders who advise and train our staff on the latest international standards in education.
