Fravashi Academy is a private, co-educational pre-primary, primary, secondary, and higher secondary school in Nashik, Maharashtra, India.

Contents

The school is run by the R. S. Luth Education Trust, named after Ratanshaw Sorabji Luth, who founded the trust in 1978. Fravashi Academy was established four years later, in 1982. [1]

The name Fravashi is Avestan for the Zoroastrian theory of a personal spirit of an individual.

The current Chairman of the trust is Ratan Luth, the son of Ratanshaw Luth. C. C. de Rozario acts as its managing director.

Aarti Sharma heads Fravashi Academy as its principal. The Primary Section is supervised by Rashida Vasi, and Neha Meghrajani is the supervisor of the pre-primary section. Fravashi Academy has the ISO: 9001 – 2008 certification for its management systems.

The school prepares the students for the grade X ICSE examinations conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, with which it is affiliated. [2]

The school grounds are segmented into various blocks: the administrative block, housing the fees counter, transport department, and the Chairman's office; the "Pre-Primary Paradise", which has classrooms, activity rooms and a play area for kindergarten students; the primary section building, which has classrooms for students of grades I to IV; the secondary section, for grades V to X; the junior college floor, for grades XI and XII; the ICSE Examination Hall, where the ICSE grade X examinations are conducted; and various areas for activities and open spaces, including an assembly quadrangle for morning assemblies.

In addition to the pre-primary play area, the school has a dirt pitch for primary and secondary students, with sport equipment installed for playing kho-kho, volleyball and basketball. The school also has a skating rink and equipment and installations for gymnastics and malakhamb, which are also offered as optional after-school activities. The school also has chemistry, biology and physics laboratories, an audio-visual room, a library, and a computer lab, along with a canteen and a medical bay.
