Service Academy was set up in June 2010 as a catalyst institution for providing one stop destination to teachers to gain new ideas, knowledge, skills, values and confidence to start or improve their careers. The Service Academy is imparting trainings to the teachers with a view to developing their capacity, professional competency and ethical standards for efficient dispensation of their knowledge and skills in Schools. The Service Academy will design and deliver comprehensive courses and trainings to staff members of Catholic Schools throughout the year (especially in summer vacations) for the realization of the Strategic Plan.

The Service Academy will:

• Impart pre-service and in-service training to the teachers.
• Assist in assessment and analysis of the performance of the schools.
• Develop the professional skills and techniques of teaching.
• Encourage teacher’s participation in the professional development trainings.
• Inculcate and promote the teaching skills, professional standards and basic management of the schools.
• Provide a resource center to teachers for their personal and professional development

Trainings and Developmental Programs

Throughout the year, YES Service Academy takes numerous trainings and workshops for Catholic Schools and its teachers in order to promote the idea of effective learning environment for teachers and students alike. Service academy has launched various constructively dynamic Programs in last one year which have had a proactive impact on the ability, skills and thinking of the teachers. The courses at the Service Academy are offered in a very collegial and growth producing environment.  Participants are provided recreational opportunities to enjoy, relax and have fun. Not only this, but these programs and trainings were designed to enhance the professional competency of the teachers and focused on increasing the ethical standards for efficient dispensation of knowledge and skills. The main motive of this partnership with the Catholic schools was to identify the gaps and blind spots and to create self-improving school systems.
