ACT today


We have, by the Grace of our resident deity, Sri Vidyaganapathy, grown today to:

1. Creating our own teaching methodology and synthesising it with philosophy and have named it QuadSeek.
2. Taking the methods to more than 40 institutions 
3. Helping start and holding hands for more than 17 schools for the first five years
4. Creating our own teacher education academy – QuadSeek Academy of Teacher Education [QuATE] not only for teachers but also for assistant teachers, heads of department, principals and entrepreneurs and parents.
5. Published a number of articles in the New Indian Express [which brought the collection of articles as a book “Your child can be a Genius”] and other papers and journals.
