Classrooms
Bright, airy rooms built in local bamboo and timber by craftsmen from the surrounding villages. Small class sizes by design.
Facilities
Where our students live and learn
We are a young school in a remote district. What we have is modest, cared for, and built for children to actually live in.
On campus
What we have built so far
Everything here was put up with the support of the Donyi-Polo Cultural and Charitable Trust and the families of this district. We would rather show you what exists than promise what does not.
Prayer hall
Where every day opens and closes together, with the words Donyi-Polo Aya Jilaka. Also used for assemblies and cultural teaching.
The school building
Built by local craftsmen in bamboo and timber, open to the light and the air of the valley it stands in.
Also on campus
These are part of daily life here but have not been photographed yet. We would rather list them plainly than illustrate them with a picture that is not ours.
-
Residential hostel
Separate supervised dormitories for boys and girls, with house staff on site through the night. Bedding and basic necessities are provided. -
Kitchen and dining hall
Three cooked meals a day prepared on site, with local produce wherever we can source it. Students take turns helping. -
Kitchen garden and plantation
Vegetable and herb gardens and fruit plantations, run as a Nutrition Self-Sufficiency Plan together with the School Management Committee. Students help tend them, and part of what is eaten here is grown here. -
Health and safety
Regular health check-ups, on-site first-aid care and emergency medical attention are the Principal's direct responsibility, as is the structural safety and disaster readiness of every building. -
Child protection
Every concern is reported to the Gurukul Head or the SMC member responsible for student welfare, and serious cases go to DPCCT and the legal authorities. All staff and volunteers receive periodic safeguarding training.
Being honest
What we do not have yet
We opened in 2025. A computer room, a proper science laboratory and a stocked library are all planned, and all still ahead of us. We will put them on this page when they exist, and not before.
If you or your organisation would like to help us get there, the school office would be glad to hear from you.
