Future Plans:

Currently, the academy operates across two campuses due to space constraints. To address this, Jaffaria Academy plans to establish a single, unified campus. This new facility, located on land provided by JUIA-Kargil at Kurbathang Plateau near the Higher Wing, will include:

• Spacious, well-lit classrooms (including specialized nursery classrooms).
• Fully equipped science laboratories, libraries, and activity rooms.
• A sports room, a medium-sized multipurpose hall, and a large playground.

A Detailed Project Report (DPR) has already been prepared, but construction has yet to begin due to insufficient funding.

Long-Term Vision:

In future, the institution intends to establish a combined academic set up by merging the Higher Wing and Lower Wing together. For this purpose construction of a new school building with all kinds of requisite infrastructure and amenities is needed. Proper sections of Nursary, Middle, higher and higher Secondary level, with all kinds of logistics, need to be established. For construction of the new building Jamiatul Ulema Asna Asharia has provided a large area of land at Lower Kurbathang Plateau, adjacent to the existing building of the Higher Wing. A detailed Project Report (DPR) has also been prepared keeping in mind the topographical and climatic conditions of the area and also the requirements of the students and staff members so that all kinds of facilities could be provided to them. Thus, after thorough discussion with all the stake holders, most suitable suggestions have been incorporated in DPR. The construction of the new building is still pending for want of funds.

In addition to the new campus, Jaffaria Academy aspires to establish a college to provide accessible, quality higher education. This initiative aims to benefit students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, particularly those from economically disadvantaged families, enabling them to pursue education without having to leave their hometown.
