Where Learning

Meets Nature

A Unique
Learning Experience
Through Animal Care

At St. Mathews Academy, we believe that true education includes understanding and respecting all forms of life. Our campuses are home to a variety of friendly animals and birds that create a warm, lively, and engaging environment for students.

As part of our environmental and value-based education, students interact with these animals, observe their behaviour, and develop compassion, responsibility, and emotional intelligence from an early age.

Campus Companions

Bruno, Diana & Brandy – Our Gentle Giants

A Diverse Animal Family

At Urli Devachi Campus

Our Urli Devachi campus is home to a variety of animals including turkeys, ducks, rabbits, and turtles. These animals provide students with opportunities to observe nature closely and learn about different species, their habits, and their environment. Students often witness small yet meaningful moments—like birds nesting or baby birds hatching—which makes learning both real and memorable.

Kiki - Our Talkative Little Friend

Kiki Mathews, our pet parrot, is a favourite among young students. Often found interacting with children, Kiki becomes a fun part of classroom learning, especially when students practice their vocabulary and communication skills around her.

This unique interaction encourages confidence, curiosity, and joyful learning
