Programme Overview
We run three exemplar schools through a publicprivate partnership with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Our highengagement classroom model is tested and designed to be scaled and replicated across geographies. These schools are our R&D labs and evidence for how a government school could look.
Our journey began when we turned around an underresourced government school in Delhi by forging a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) in 2015. Eventually we saw a dramatic improvement in the enrolment of students in just a year. When enrolment numbers increased we even had a waiting list at the school a rare occurrence for a governmentrun school. Following the success of the school we took on two more schools in Delhi and now run a network of 3 Exemplar Schools. Today we support nearly 1500 students in these three schools which act as a beacon of 2 excellence and constantly guide all our programs on what a good learning environment looks like.
