The Class of 2026 welcomed Mr. Owen Richards, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Deputy High Commission in Bengaluru, as the chief guest. Drawing upon an extensive career in international politics spanning major global hubs including Geneva, Bucharest, Jakarta, Mumbai, and New Delhi, Mr. Richards provided critical insights into the value of global citizenship. Addressing the graduates, Mr. Richards emphasized the importance of integrity, stating that his country is best protected and more prosperous when remaining true to its values rather than seeking short-term transactional winds of opportunism. He urged the learners to avoid making short-term gains at the expense of their personal values.
Dr. Chenraj Roychand, Founder Chairman of the JAIN Group and Founder of Knowledgeum Academy, was present to witness the culmination of his vision. Backed by the legacy of the JAIN Group, the academy has evolved into one of the best IB schools in Bengaluru, where experiential learning is delivered through a project-based, hands-on, and profound academic experience. Reflecting on the significance of the day, Dr. Roychand noted that the most important life lessons often come through experience, reflection, and resilience rather than recognition or reward. He remarked that the students had acquired not just an education, but a specific way of thinking during their tenure at the academy.
Continuing a tradition of high achievement, the Class of 2026 has already secured early admissions to esteemed international and national universities. Building on previous years where learners consistently achieved higher global IB grades, this year’s cohort has gained entry to prestigious institutions such as the University of Edinburgh, the University of Sydney, and the University of San Francisco. Nationally, graduates have secured spots at top institutions including Ashoka University, Krea University, and FLAME University. These results stand as a testament to the academy’s dedicated university guidance and strategic profile building, which aligns with the individual interests and strengths of every learner.
