Akal Academy is a network of educational institutions established by The Kalgidhar Trust in Baru Sahib, India. These academies focus on providing a holistic education that combines academics with moral and spiritual teachings based on Sikh values. The aim is to nurture students not just academically but also spiritually and morally.

The schools follow a curriculum that integrates modern education with ethical teachings, aiming to develop well-rounded individuals. By integrating these aspects into their curriculum, they aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to society.

They focus on offering quality education to children in remote and rural regions where educational infrastructure might be limited. These academies strive to bridge the gap by establishing schools and educational programs that cater to the needs of rural communities.
