Ugyen Academy
Dear Parents and Guardians,
A Hearty Welcome to Term II of 2024!
John Keats, an English Romantic poet and author, said, “Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.”
Therefore, dear students, welcome back to experience Term II of the 2024 academic session. UA is known for its vibrant school culture and climate, always bubbling with meaningful activities and consistently accomplishing its goals. As Term II of 2024 begins, we are once again unstoppable and gaining momentum. UA is blessed with outstanding students, caring teachers, active and involved parents, and a dynamic School Administration Team (SAT).
Together, we will continue to enhance our culture of continuous improvement. While we refine the ways we collaborate, make decisions, and solve problems together, we will be putting a strong focus on continuing to build a heart-to-heart connection with our students and their parents. Additionally, UA ensures a safe environment where courtesy and kindness prevail and where there is respect for differences in other people, customs, and cultures. Each individual is valued and thought to be special. Our motto, “Be Your Best,” inspires each individual to strive to achieve their best. Positively, UA is heading for another bountiful year in 2024.
