Leadership at Heritage Academy

Experienced Educators. Shared Responsibility for Every Learner.

Leadership at Heritage Academy combines institutional direction with academic coordination close to each stage of a child’s journey—from the Montessori years through Primary, Middle, Secondary and Senior Secondary education.

Academic systems, examinations, teacher development, student wellbeing, discipline, activities and communication with families are supported by experienced educators working together across the school.

Dr. Anuranjani Agarwal

Dr. Anuranjani Agarwal serves as Principal and Head of Institution of Heritage Academy, the CBSE-affiliated Senior Secondary school serving families in Modinagar, Muradnagar and the wider Ghaziabad region.

M.Sc. B.Ed. Ph.D. Principal since 2018

Her role connects academic direction with curriculum, assessment, student development, faculty coordination, discipline and the broader educational culture of the school.

“Education is not about learning facts but training young minds to think.”

This educational direction supports the school’s broader promise: Academic Excellence. Character. Future Readiness.

Leadership With Long-Term Impact

Academic Excellence Begins Long Before the Board Years

Heritage Academy views the Early Years as the beginning of a continuous educational journey rather than an isolated pre-primary programme.

The Montessori years emphasise language development, communication, confidence, habits of learning, values, curiosity and school readiness through activity-based experiences.

According to Heritage Academy’s internal student records, students recognised by the school as city toppers since 2018 passed through the school’s Montessori or Pre-Primary sections. The school therefore sees later Board achievement as the cumulative result of foundations developed over many years.

Language Foundations Communication, phonics, vocabulary and expression from the formative years.
Learning Through Activity Play, storytelling, visual learning and practical experiences.
Confidence Participation, speaking and recognition of individual effort.
Parent Partnership Communication between school and families during the foundational years.
Individual Pace Observation and support adapted to different young learners.
Long-Term Foundation Habits, confidence and understanding that support later academic development.
