Message From Principal

Creative Trails Academy was conceptualized and born with the idea of bringing a high standard of education that is not only accessible but available to all children of Shillong. In this quest, and with the belief that every child is unique, we chose experiential learning as our core approach—one that allows children to learn through doing, exploring, and discovering. This method, we believe, best equips our children for the future.

At Creative Trails Academy, we want the child’s life journey to begin with a strong foundation—grounded in core concepts, built on respect for elders and peers, and guided by a strong belief in their own capabilities. We strive to give each child the tools to navigate the nuances of society with confidence, empathy, and curiosity.

Our classrooms are spaces where wonder is encouraged, where mistakes are viewed as stepping stones to growth, and where every child is seen, heard, and nurtured. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model of education. Instead, we invest in understanding each child’s rhythm, interests, and needs, and we grow with them.

It is our sincere hope that each child who walks through our doors leaves with not just knowledge, but with kindness, resilience, and a lifelong love for learning.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”

— William Butler Yeats
