India First Foundation School [IFFS] Karjat, affiliated to the ICSE Board, launched a ‘Scholarship Test’ online on April 10, 2012 at www.iffschool.in, which will provide students an opportunity to avail a 100 per cent scholarship. The school offers education for students from Class I to X.
The test will evaluate students on their abilities in subjects like Maths, English and Science. The top 100 scorers of the test will then be invited for a final evaluation at the school. Post the final evaluation, the deserving candidates will be offered a scholarship up to 100 per cent. The school, also supporting ‘Empowerment of the Girl Child’, offers a 25 per cent fee waiver.
Dr Vijayam Ravi, trustee and director education, IFFS and chairman & managing director of Academy for Global Education Services Pvt Ltd emphasized, “We at IFFS believe that every child has the right to education and there are many who are deprived of it. IFFS will help deserving children to get education by applying for the scholarship test. This will enable deserving students to be a part of the IFFS dream.” The school is in its initial stage of growing into a multifaceted institution that can produce leaders for the world.
The school follows a unique STAR curriculum that has been developed under the guidance of educationalists from The Academy for Global Education Services Pvt Ltd (AGES), thus adopting the best education practices worldwide. Spread over 20 acres, the school imparts several innovative activities. A host of sports activities such as, football, lawn tennis, and cricket are nurtured.
One of the most unique and exciting aspects of the IFFS is the Global Village. Here, periodically, artisans from different states visit for a period of about a week to help children get acquainted with folk art forms and develop a spirit of pride for the vast and rich cultural heritage of our nation.
