The Model

The Six Pillars

The Akanksha School Model has been adapted from best practices of high-performing schools in India and around the world, and Akanksha’s own extensive experience in education gathered over its twenty years of serving some of the poorest urban slum communities of Mumbai and Pune. Inspired in particular by the success of the charter school network, KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program), in the United States, ‘The Six Pillars’ represent the guiding principles of The School Project and the core of what Akanksha believes drives the success of its schools.
