About First Academy

25+ Years of Excellence in Global Education

India's only institute led by McGraw-Hill authors. We prepare students for standardised tests, build world-class profiles, and guide admissions to top universities globally.

Our Story

Built by Educators, for Students

First Academy was founded with a clear mission: to bring world-class test preparation and admissions consulting to India. Our founders authored official preparation materials for McGraw-Hill — the same materials used in classrooms around the world.

Over 25 years, we've helped more than 65,000 students achieve their target scores and gain admission to top universities across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Europe.

We don't believe in shortcuts. Our approach combines structured methodology, personalised feedback, and deep subject expertise to deliver results that last.
