Vision & Mission

The Turtuk Valley School is inspired by the Ideology of "Learning to Realise Education's Promise". This promise is an amalgamation of Child-Centric Learning with the insights from cutting-edge research with the fundamental goal to turn working models of pedagogical practices to the need of life long learning and innovation opportunities.

In circumstances of seclusion due to demographics and a discontinuous learning system due to weather, It is our focus to introduce an Innovative Educational System that is rooted in experiential learning. We plan to fill the existing lack of a Continuous Education System through a working system of activity based learning classroom and home schooling curriculum for months the villages are impacted by adverse weather conditions.

We aim to Bridge the gap Created between the Educational Facilities of the city and the village. Under the unique needs of the children and people of Ladakh, we believe our vision is robust because it recognises the diverse requirements for continued learning.
