Nurturing Future-Ready Learners at Palava

By Lodha

Education at Palava has always been about empowering children with opportunities to explore, experiment and excel in ways that are relevant to the world they are growing up in.

This commitment reflects not just in the diverse learning initiatives, but also in consistently strong academic outcomes. Across Palava, our learners have delivered an exceptional performance in this year’s board examinations, reflecting the strong academic culture nurtured across our campuses.

At Lodha World School – Casa Bell Gold, 66 students scored above 90% in Grade 10 (ICSE), while Grade 12 continued this momentum with 31% of learners crossing the 90% benchmark across Science, Commerce, and Humanities. The year’s toppers include Saanvi Salunkhe (98.8% in Grade X) and for Grade XII: Sreejan Mukherjee (98% – Commerce), Karthik Thyagarajan (97.75% – Humanities), and Manan Shah (94% – Science).

Lodha World School – Lakeshore Greens, too has strengthened its academic trajectory, with 30 students scoring above 90% in Grade 10 and 19% of Grade 12 Science learners surpassing the 90% mark. This year’s toppers are Aanshi Verma (98.6% in Grade X) and Om Harchandani (96% in Grade XII).

At The Shriram Universal School Palava, 15 learners scored above 90% in Grade 10, with Vedant Chetan Pawar leading the cohort at 98.6%.

Beyond strong academics, our students are encouraged to apply their learning in meaningful, real-world contexts - exploring, creating, and collaborating in ways that shape them into confident, future-ready individuals.

Some of our initiatives that bring this vision of innovation and real-world learning to life include:

Enterprise Marketplace - A School Enterprise Showcase

Organised by Utpal Shanghvi Global School and PPSIJC, Juhu, the Enterprise Marketplace saw young minds from Lodha World School at Casa Bella Gold shine bright. The Class 12 learners proudly secured 1st position for Best Sales Skills - a testament to their hard work, confidence, and exceptional communication abilities.

Participants: Sanaya Kirilkar, Tabish Shaikh, Aarya Shinde, Diya Sharma, Aadya Pandey, Anvesha Dubey, Zenab Naqvi and Aarya Bhoir.

British Council’s Learning Sectors - STEM Collaboration

In a unique global partnership, learners from Casa Bella Gold, Palava collaborated with The Blue Coat School, UK, under the British Council’s Learning Sectors programme this year. Through weekly virtual sessions, students explored solutions to pressing environmental challenges - culminating in the creation of a robotic boat designed to collect plastic waste from water bodies.

Powered by a motor-driven conveyor belt and inspired by Formula 1 aerodynamics, this innovative model brought engineering and sustainability together beautifully.

The project offered students a hands-on opportunity to apply STEM concepts while nurturing creativity, collaboration, and environmental awareness - a proud milestone for our young change makers.

These achievements are a testament to Palava’s robust learning ecosystem—one shaped by dedicated mentors, collaborative spaces, and an environment that encourages curiosity, resilience, and real-world thinking.
