Contrary to general perception, of Academics in a Residential School is lost in the rich socio-cultural life, The Assam Valley School has not allowed Academic to take a back seat.

Academics is the foremost concern of this growing school, as the Board results (both ICSE and ISC) have been soaring up the graph, year after year. Furthermore our University placements have successfully raised the eyebrows of the very nation.

This does not mean that AVS is a mark producing industry only. The all-round development of the growing child is our major concern. Academic is followed closely by cultural and sporting activities.

We believe that true education is the architecture of the soul awakening a sense of undying curiosity and the desire to achieve. Our primary concern is to prepare and equip young adults for citizenship of the 21st century.
