“Her passion for education as a tool for social transformation has driven her to absorb rich and holistic experiences across all facets of school education.”

‘Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader, they set out to make a difference…it’s
never about the role, always about the goal.’ Our aim is to impart Man making
Education and to achieve it we impart integrated education to children, drawing the best from Indian culture and traditions of the past.

We develop their personality on progressive lines with comprehensive mental outlook, self-confidence based on sound character and good conduct to face the future eloquent. Children are the most precious possession of a nation. To bring them up in an environment which helps them grow physically, intellectually and spiritually is the greatest service to the organized society. Thus, the vision of the School is to impart quality education, coupled with latest technological advancements and imbibing human values, ethos and sanskaras in the students with a spiritual blend. The school aims at training and regulating  children’s thinking in such a manner that they become successful men and women in their chosen field of activity and at the same time remain attached to moral and ethical values which ensure happiness and continuity of success achieved in life. The learning process and the value inherited in school by the students are further executed by them in the society for the service of humanity. With a great team of teaching staff and excellent students, I expect a continuous and sustainable advancement in learning and teaching in MFA. My expectation is high on the quality of our teachers in classroom teaching and facilitating students’ development in multiple intelligence outside classroom. It is my responsibility to continue the excellent culture of MFA and maintain sustainable advancement in the future. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world”. If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. From now on, the spirit of MFA is deeply rooted in my mind – “Once in Mount Fort, be with Mount Fort forever”.

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” – Aristotle

With this thought in mind, I, Ruchika Bhasin Abrol aim to work towards the betterment & education of children. I have the privilege of being a part Mount Fort Academy, Dehradun as the Headmistress. After finishing my Masters from Edith Cowan University, Australia, I found my passion working in the field of education. With over 14 years of experience in the education industry I strive to bring out the best in education. I believe all children deserve to have a safe educational environment to learn and grow in.

Working as the Principal of a junior school for over five years, I draw upon my educational experience, both as an educator and an administrator, and the support of an amazing staff of caring, talented educators, to create a unique educational environment, specially tailored for our youngest scholars. I firmly believe that our learning environment must creatively meet the specific needs of each child.

Success, one child at a time – the effort to meet each child’s needs for growth socially, emotionally and academically – is ongoing and intentional. For the same we have to provide a happy and safe environment within which our students can experience opportunities inside the classroom and beyond. We foster values of courtesy, consideration, and individual responsibility, and provide both challenge and support for our little ones. With gentle care, we help shape their young minds to be ready for the world that is waiting to meet them. It is said that children must be taught what to think, not how to think, we at Mount Fort strive to work on this philosophy and aim to channelise them towards upliftment.

“This website cannot take the place of visiting our School; I warmly welcome you to visit our School, and discover firsthand what makes Mount Fort Academy education so special.”

“If we  teach today’s  student as we taught yesterday’s we rob them of tomorrow.”
John Dewey 

Every child  is unique and has immense potential therefore quality education is about possibilities and helping the child unleash his/her own potential and this is what our team at MFA firmly believes in.

The staffs of our school are committed to high expectations for all students. We encourage our students to believe in themselves, achieve knowledge, and gain social skills in order to become successful at whatever they attempt as they move through their academic years.

We aim to give every student in our care the very best possible education in order to prepare them for life beyond school. We are a ‘Learning Community’ which encourages students to involve themselves fully in all aspects of school life and to identify themselves with the  core values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Cooperation and Achievement.

I expect that our students will become well-rounded adults, contributing to our community as a result of their nurturing at MFA.

“Our infallible ability to implement established and updated practices is the main force towards our pursuit for success not only in Board examinations but also in various prestigious examinations like JEE (main & Advanced) and NEET/AIIMS entrance examinations.”

We at MOUNT FORT ACADEMY consider education to be a social responsibility in the sense by guiding students to achieve their goals. Education is not only a process of enhancing one’s professional capabilities and suitability but also a self-development process so as to enable one to ponder over any complicated situation rationally. Education means the process by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, and intellect is sharpened. Honest teaching and deep learning both are essential part of quality education, which necessitate ‘MFA ’.

Over the past two decades, MFA has guided its students with its core values which foster an environment that keeps our performance focused on the students. Educating our students is our solitary priority. We have been known as the sincere and hardworking team amongst the student fraternity because of our passion for education & sense of commitment. Our infallible ability to implement established and updated practices is the main force towards our pursuit for success not only in Board examinations but also in various prestigious examinations like JEE( main & Advanced) and NEET/AIIMS entrance examinations.

MFA is going to win the trust for all students, with more energy and enthusiasm to perform and make them successful in all walks of life. MFA has analyzed all the need of students on individual basis so more and more students could be benefitted under the guidance and motivational session of our team members.

“We believe in building classroom climate; where errors are welcome, student engagement is the norm, questioning is high and students gain reputations as effective learners”.

The ability to be innovative and creative is important to me. We enjoy being challenged and inspired by the people around us. We aim to enthuse and challenge students to be inventive and imaginative in their learning and day to day task.

Edutainment is best way of learning by doing. Cultural activities not only disciplines mind but also refreshes it. Dance of different region represents our rich cultural heritage. In order to get insight into our diverse culture, we must introduce Dance as subject in schools.

Now, the teacher is no longer the gatekeeper of the all knowledge. Their role has switched to guide, assistant, and enabler of student potential. “For us true goal of education is to teach our students to think intensively and critically to be intelligent and a person with a good character.”
