This maxim truly befits the late Mr. V. V. Bhat's life and deeds. Guided by his vision, Mr. V. V. Bhat laid the foundation of a school in a few rooms of a rented building. The only weapons this educationist used were his dedicated pattern of teaching, the diligence of his staff and the unflinching support of his students. With such raw materials, he laid an immensely strong foundation, which has today grown into the gargantuan institution known as the Children's Academy Group of Schools, a behemoth that houses 4500 students and uses the resources of 450 teachers and supporting staff.

The school at Bachani Nagar, Malad East, is today the parent institution of the Children's Academy Group of Schools. Its foundation was laid in 1970 in a very humble way in a few rooms of a residential building named Ishwar Bhavan. Soon, in 1979, Mr. V. V. Bhat acquired a plot of land in Bachani Nagar, where he erected a few classrooms. His family, students and staff members stood staunchly by his side as he took this next step.
