    Hi! I am Farhan,an alumni of Michael's akademy. I have studied in Michael's for about 7 years and was very glad to be a part of a developing school. As of starting in this school at 2012 it was a bit different for me to study in India. But fortunately my mom found michael's academy through some of her friends recommendation. Later I grew up along with the school and began to love learning. Later when I went from 3/4 th to full uniform I was given responsibilities. There was many programmes which me and my class friends did together with other seniors and juniors learning what teamwork is. I was given opportunities in various programme to lead the team and learned how to lead a team. We were also taught various life skills such as swimming,rowing and much more. I had a bright foundation in michael's so does the others,everyone deserves this wonderful school for their wards best foundation.

    I studied in st.michael’s from 2014 to 2019. When I was in school days I never studied well. My intention was to play, doing some mischief or other. I will not complete my homeworks properly. But now I am studying in college and I'm doing good. Do u know how, that's why I am sharing this. I will tell you the reason most of the parents expect only marks from children but Michael's alone know what skills children need. I surely believe now the skills alone will help in every place of our life as I'm seeing it in college. St.michael’s has taught me lot of skills along with knowledge. I am doing well in my college because of my school. Wherever I go people ask me where I am I from and which school I studied. Thank you st Michaels for the wonderful lessons. My mam always say what we sow now you will reap later. St Michaels has sown lots of good things during our school days now we are reaping the benefits in college days and will do it for life. People assume colleges to be the turning point. Never..... schools alone build our lives that too only schools like Michaels. I had to edit my text several times as I spent only few years in Michael's. Join your kids right from LKG to see their future sealed to perfection.

    I feel proud to be a Michalelite. I have studied in more than three schools, but St.Michael's has played a very major role in my life and has brought out a lot of transformation in me. I was nothing before joining st.michael's. What I am today is only because of st.michael's. I am so grateful to my school and for the most part I am really thankful to our chairman, our principal, our teachers and abi brother, because, they were the ones who found my capabilities, gave lot of opportunities, and made me excel in my life. They not only taught us subjects, but also the values of our life. I really enjoyed my school days that gave lot of beautiful memories. The best part of learning is to experience and I got huge number of experiences at st.michael's. Even at college I got admitted only in the evening shift. But later on it was I who personally met the lecturer and asked for morning shift and if I had that right attitude and confidence to go and ask to the teacher and get admitted in the morning shift it is only because of my school. It doesn't take ten years to prove that our school is best rather we proved it in our first year. I am really happy that we have won this contest. Students who go out of st.michael's will be the best and I hope hence we are proving it. This is a request to all the parents of st.michale's. Allow your children to fully participate in any program or event conducted in our school which will therefore give a better and a fabulous life to your children. I am happy and blessed to be a part of this institution. Love you lots st.michael's . Keep rocking.

    St.Michael's alone has transformed my life from a victim to victor, from a low lying looser to the best student of my school (2019). Thank you St.Michael's. Only school in Nagai where children could access principal and chairman at will is MY SCHOOL ST. MICHAEL'S... Only after leaving school I learnt how much it has changed my life. Thank you St.Michaels.... I love you so much.
