A Blissful Forest of Learning
for Every Child
Nurturing curious minds through experiential learning, cultural wisdom, creativity, and a safe environment.
Our story
Anand Van was born from a father's dream — a dream shaped by the challenges of providing for a large family without ever receiving the education he deeply desired. His vision was simple yet powerful; to create a space where children could grow freely, learn naturally, and discover their true potential without limitations.
Today, Anand Van stands as a testament to the power of community, compassion, and the belief that every child deserves an education that nurtures their whole being.
Our approach combines experiential learning with cultural wisdom, creating an environment where children can explore, create, and grow with the support of their entire community.
Our Vision
To create a joyful, safe, and inspiring learning ecosystem where children grow as confident, compassionate, and creative individuals connected to their heritage, their community, and their inner potential.
Experiential Learning
To provide experiential learning that nurtures curiosity and hands-on exploration.
Cultural Heritage
To preserve cultural heritage and traditional wisdom for future generations.
Creativity & Collaboration
To cultivate creativity, collaboration, and emotional intelligence.
Community-Centered School
To build a community-centered school where children, parents, teachers, and elders learn from one another.
What Our Community Says
Anandwan is a template for future schools. It honors the whole child — their environment, community, elders, and emotional world. I'm grateful to be part of this beautiful vision.

We are not taught that we can shape our own life — but we can. Anandwan gives children the freedom to learn, make mistakes, and be accepted as they are. I'm grateful to be part of this journey.
