Dear Parents,

Satnam!

This has been another remarkable and satisfying year at Miri Piri Academy!
We would like to thank you for your support of the school. All of our parents, our teachers and our staff and especially our students have come together, once again, to help us reaffirm our conviction in imparting a values based education that will allow them to take their place as productive leaders of the world.

Congratulations to our seniors. We have enjoyed sharing this educational experience with them and hope they will stay in touch with us. We know they will be successful in their future endeavours and we look forward to them continuing to make us proud.

This year, we began on the first phase of the Cambridge International Examinations curriculum. Many teaching days were spent looking at ways to help the students achieve the expected standards of the CIE .The anxiety (of the students and teachers) surrounding the shift towards the CIE was understandable.  It's encouraging that a large number of students feel that the move, though challenging, is definitely achievable, albeit with hard work and perseverance. 

To foster academic achievement in our students we provided students with a high quality instructional program and introduced many new policies to help improve student learning. As part of our endeavour to improve studen...

Some people say Wow! OMG! I’m leaving in five days, but me I’ve been leaving every since I’ve arrived, little by little, bit by bit.

I’m practically home already.
So ready to start new: different place, people, life.

For me it’s a totally different thing.
The excitement is there, dimly, but now it’s turmoil and strife.
I know that I am leaving. I am ready to start, but my emotions are tuned to a different ring.
I feel the goodbye nearly breaking my heart.

Excitedly daunting is how I’m describing it.
Looking forward to what’s next but the future is sti...

I’ve been working on myself spiritually for the past three years; that has been my focus. I strongly feel that is the most important thing for me to work on right now, because, through this process, I am learning many things that are going to help me achieve my ideal future

I want to teach. I want to make a difference in people’s lives. I want to share my love, my devotion and all the things that I’ve been learning and the ones that I still have to learn.

I was thinking about ...

The night before the day he died
My mind to meditation I applied
I sat in the Gurdwara with my heart crying out
Chanting to Guru Ram Das my voice close to a shout
As time wore on my eyelids started to flutter
My brain became hazy and my mind began to clutter
A vision appeared, so real, yet dreamlike
Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Ji floating to the light
He was peaceful and serene, yet all around
The sangat stood frantically pulling him to the ground
Not once but twice w...

Recently Jugat Guru Singh offered the level-two teacher training course, Authentic Relationships, to our 12th grade class. I was excited to take it, especially after taking Conscious Communication earlier in the year.

In my life Jugat Guru has been a great teacher.  The person to set me on the right path. He has inspired me, he has bitched at me, he’s made me feel happy, he’s made me feel sad, he’s uplifted me. He’s one of my biggest role model’s in my life. I feel like I can be...
