  I founded the academy in 2007 after a final wish from my father, who was a pioneer in bringing English education into rural parts of Nepal. Sadly during the political crisis his school failed and he asked me to continue his dream of bringing education to all to develop communities.
  
  Our academy is a government registered English medium Secondary level school located at small valley, Khanikhola , Dhading. Khanikhola is around 11 hundred meters from sea level with a comfortable climate. Our place is one hour drive from Kathmandu ( 25 Kilometers) and on the way to Pokhara. We currently have 100 sudents that range from nursery to class 10 (age 4-18). The students decreased because of covid and unforseen circumstances. We had 300 students before pandamic of covid.
  
  We want to develop our community by educating young people through active involvement in education, women's issues, waste management,health, agriculture, languages, cultures, lifestyles, music, games and sports, the environment and its sustainability.
  
  After the earthquake last year (2015) we have faced many challenges. Our Global Home in the countryside, which was saved from the devastating earthquake, a base for volunteers and my family.
  
  Our Academy Mission
  • We provide qualitative education to both underprivileged and privileged children irrespective of colour, creed religion and castes. Further, the students get ample opportunities to achieve their goals, establish social norms and values, and develop moral character in this ever changing world.
  
  At the academy, we believe in an education based on proper caring, counselling, love , positive thinking with a rounded curriculum. Our curriculum is based on significant lessons of mental and spiritual well-being, a direct involvement with nature to learn about sustainability of the environment, as well as music, sports, personality development, elocution, organic farming, project work, poetry, scouting, creativity and services that have been provided to the students by utilizing limited and locally available resources.
  
  At the Academy we provide our students the tools to unlock their potential and the freedom to explore the success in life in this ever changing world.
  
  The wealth of skills, knowledge and experiences that are brought by volunteers really builds a multi-cultural link for our students with the wider world. We welcome volunteers with mutual understanding, cooperation and a willingness to share food, cultures, lifestyle, languages, skills. Therefore creating a worldwide network.
