Our Story

A Beautiful
Beginning Among the Trees

Ekya Vana began with a simple, heartfelt idea:
What if a child’s first steps in learning were taken not just inside a classroom, but in the dappled sunlight of a forest, with the rustling leaves as their first teachers?

In a world that increasingly values sustainability, kindness, and resilience, we believe these essential qualities blossom early. They grow through a child’s natural desire to explore, ask questions, and care for the world around them. Inspired by nature-immersive learning models and rooted in the progressive values of the Ekya family of schools.

Here, stories are shared in the cozy shade of a friendly tree. Every day, we nurture curious minds and kind hearts, planting the seeds for a lifelong love of learning, one day at a time.
