Our Initiatives
01
Blended Language Approach (B.L.A.)
Innovated by our founder, the Blended Language Approach combines phonics and whole language strategies to enhance children's reading proficiency and comprehension. Through a pilot initiative with students in grades 4-6, we observed remarkable results: within six months of implementation, 80% of students achieved significant progress in their reading levels.
02
Socio Emotional Learning
AVP acknowledges the significance of students' mental well-being, prioritizing their socio-emotional development. To support this, we conduct dedicated sessions on socio-emotional learning, empowering students to effectively manage and regulate their emotions for overall well-being.
03
Project Pioneers
Project Pioneers is an innovative project-based curriculum tailored specifically for the Indian context. Its primary objective is to equip children with essential 21st-century skills, ensuring that education remains pertinent amidst the rapid transformations in the economic landscape. This curriculum fosters the development of communication, critical thinking, confidence, and other vital competencies, while also imparting academic knowledge.
04
Digital Literacy
Digital literacy is an indispensable skill in the 21st century, crucial for success in today's world. Unfortunately, many students miss out on higher education opportunities simply because they lack exposure to computers. Collaborating with our partners at Computer Shiksha, we have initiated digital literacy training starting from grade 1, ensuring that our students are well-prepared for the future.
05
The Buddy Program
The Buddy Program strives to cultivate compassion among students by fostering inter-grade interactions. Students in primary grades take on the role of mentors, assisting younger peers in nursery and kindergarten with various activities. This not only instills in them values like responsibility, patience, and compassion but also provides an enjoyable learning experience for the younger ones as they benefit from the guidance of their older buddies.

Our Academic Coordinator
Alka Panchal
Alka was the one who took the leap of faith with AVP from day one, becoming its very first team member. However, her passion for teaching ignited long before AVP came into the picture, back when she was still a student herself, some 15 years ago, which speaks volumes about her deep-rooted love for education. Over a brief span of 2.5 years, Alka has traversed a remarkable trajectory within AVP, progressing from a dedicated teacher to an esteemed teacher leader and eventually assuming the role of academic coordinator. Her academic background includes a Master's degree in Economics complemented by a Bachelor's degree in Education. Alka's versatility shines through as she adeptly wears various hats within AVP, seamlessly transitioning between roles such as teacher, teacher trainer, and content developer. Yet, amidst these diverse responsibilities, her heart remains steadfastly devoted to teaching, a role she cherishes above all others.
