Creating life-changing opportunities
Unlike traditional Nepalese schools, we passionately champion equal opportunities for both girls and boys, creating a nurturing environment that especially values and uplifts children from lower castes and disadvantaged backgrounds. We are grateful that our parents are choosing our school to foster their children’s academic and social growth close to their familial roots and cultural heritage, rather than in distant towns as often used to happen.
What?
Heartland Academy Palpa serves the Palpa community by providing safe, non-violent, practical and interactive educational opportunities for children from nursery through to grade 6. We plan to expand our offerings to grades 7 to 10 over the next few years and become a centre of excellence for teaching and learning for the whole community.
Who?
All local children from Jabgadi and surrounding villages are welcome at our school. Our committed teachers and support staff are from the local community, which provides them with a deep, personal insight into the educational, social, cultural, and psychological needs of our students. This intimate connection enriches our ability to tailor our teaching methods and support to truly empower every child.
How?
The school’s objectives are clear: to offer sustainable educational opportunities and challenge the status quo that sees local education as inadequate.
We provide significant Professional Learning for our teachers as well as resources such as reading books, games and toys for the children to help them engage with their learning.
