India's education system is facing a massive crisis today. Over the past few years, we find that the SSA has ensured that 98% of our country's students are enrolled in a school in Grade 1 - and hence the "access to schools" issue is largely solved. However, when we look at what happens to these students' academic careers as they get into higher grades, we find an alarming problem i.e. the dropout rate. We find that only 26% of these students actually make it to college! This is the challenge iTeach Schools wants to try and start solving now - for the poorest of our nation's students, by starting and operating a chain of affordable secondary schools.

iTeach Schools are on a mission to create a community of free, transformational schools for the most-under-resourced children in Pune. Our schools function in PPP (Public Private Partnership) model, much like the charter schools in other parts of the world. When a student in our feeder government schools finishes Grade 7, she/he enrols for Grades 8- 10 with us, with no selection bias. Our College To Career Program then supports these students to complete college, and start off with sustainable employment. Since 2015, iTeach Schools have expanded to 9 schools and in 2022, are serving 2600 students and 1800 alumni, with a team of 200 full-time staff members.
