    • Project-based learning (theory along with practical: activity-based)

"I am ecologist, teacher and enterpreneur. With my Vajra Foundation I have built 9 schools in Nepal. Our dream project is the Vajra Academy, the First Green and Eco-Friendly school in Nepal. This school is delivering high skilled gradualted with a social attitude and awareness about the challenges of our time. Exactly the graduates the 21st century needs!

Meditation

Knowledge has to be combined with a balanced character. That’s why meditation is part of the curriculum. This way students become aware of their unique capacities and how they can contribute to the world.
