THE STAIRCASE EDUCATION
ENABLING ALL LEARNERS ACCESS TO EDUCATION OF THEIR CHOICE
The Staircase Education
In a conventional classroom setting, it is usually observed that, due to an inordinate focus on academic excellence, very few kids are looked upon as achievers. The rest of the students run the risk of spiraling into self-doubt, as their academic abilities become the sole determinant of their social worth and competence.
​
Our system lacks exposure to co-curricular activities, which play a pivotal role in shaping a child's personality and building his/her confidence.
At The Staircase Education, we believe that all learners have the potential to be self-aware, confident, visionary leaders of the future when provided the right platform to showcase their talent and passion.
We focus on building among learners; the skills of critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, creativity, and emotional intelligence- by exposing them to co-curricular activities like public speaking, theater, film-making, photography, entrepreneurship, and sports.
We believe that all these exposure pieces will enable them to become confident, self-aware, successful, and visionary leaders of tomorrow.

He has a Master's degree in International Relations and Political Science. He loves reading, learning, and debating about global and domestic politics and the impact it has on people’s lives. He was introduced to public speaking for the first time in 5th grade, and since then, he follows oratory as his passion. He has trained more than hundreds of school and college students in Model United Nations and public speaking for almost half a decade.
