The schools, set in remote villages and small towns present an opportunity to solve a challenge
that baffles many.
How do we bring quality in scale, especially in the complex field of education? Saddled by
norms, chained by rote and beleaguered by a rapidly declining workforce, we aspire to lift
children out of darkness.
From the dense forests of Denkinakottai to the vast landscape of Chitradurga, the schools are
welcoming children and teachers into the playground of their lives.
The children learn the nuances of language through our GROWBY reading program, they learn programming through SCRATCH program, they make goals and build empathy through Reflection Journals, they teach parents and community the magic of science through collaborations with Science hubs like Agastya, make their own kitchen garden, learn math through intuition and yes, they also do well in their exams.
Hippocampus works with the community, for the community. The intrepid school leaders and inspiring teachers, ever willing to learn and grow are the foundation of our success. In these schools, we are not transplanting urban knowhow, but we simply create the environment for our knowledge and our community's wisdom to grow organically.
Each of our schools is unique, it has the flavour of the region it belongs to, the personality of the people who run it daily and the culture of Hippocampus.
