Nafargunj Sunrise Nature Model School
Methodology of the school
If you read the name of the school, it mentions the word Nature, this word holds much more meaning when it comes to the curriculum for the students. Here the students are not just taught their regular academic course, included in the syllabus is the subject of Nature and Environment studies. It might sound lofty, however it is broken down to its simplest form with everyday examples and practical knowledge.
The children are taken out and shown how to keep their immediate surroundings clean, they are taught how to manage trash, be plastic free and are also taught about saving water and living with the Nature.
The thought process and belief behind this subject and it’s teachings are that the Children are the next generation, the future and by starting the learning from a young ahe, they will find it will become a natural habit for them as they grow up and will then follow these practises which will help in the conservation of our environment.
This little school is the initiative of Saving Tiger Society and is completely dependent on donations and sponsors.
The school is in its 6th year and we are facing tough challenges in the recent changes that have hit the world.
We welcome donations to keep the school operational. Please support this project.
