VIDYA School Gurgaon ~ Spark social change!

While Gurugram progresses, its villages regress. Demographic indicators like low female literacy and an abysmally poor women's labour and workforce participation rate, coupled with a high infant mortality rate have made one of the richest states in the country ironically grapple with economic and social issues.

An accelerated decline in the sex ratio and an even lower child sex ratio heavily skewed in favour of men according to the World Bank Report 2017 is an even more disturbing factor. Alcoholism, substance abuse, and domestic violence are gnawing at the society in Haryana.

Launched in 2009, VIDYA School, Gurugram, is a CBSE-affiliated K-12 institution that aims to provide quality education to over 1000 less-privileged children from the slums of Gurugram. https://www.vidyaschool.com/

It is a state-of-the-art English-medium school with IT-enabled classrooms, well-equipped libraries, a robotics lab, an English language digital learning lab and sports facilities. Our holistic methodology towards learning helps children in building their strengths, learning to think both critically and out-of-the-box, with a focus on the unique needs of the girl child.

We know that every child finds identity, meaning and purpose through connections in the community and the natural world. Hence, our philosophy of education is experiential— learning should be related to the immediate environment of the child.

After their 12th grade, our students have qualified for admissions into private engineering institutions, NITs and other prestigious colleges like the Lady Shri Ram and Indraprastha College For Women in Delhi University. These driven, empowered individuals seek to create ripples of change in their own families, communities, and subsequently, in the entire country. If we enable these individuals, they will become the true makers of tomorrow.

All our students are articulate, confident, well-spoken and fluent in English, along with being computer savvy.
