Inspiration-SECMOL ,the best school in nature.

This beautiful eco-school in the Himalayas inspires a different way of learning through sustainable     living.

Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL), an eco-school situated near the remote village of Phey, peacefully nestled in the Indus Valley of the Himalayas.

SECMOL was started by a group of young Ladakhis with the aim of reforming Ladakh's education system.

The school's vision is explained through what they've termed as the three 'H's of education - 'Bright Head, Skilled Hands, and Kind Heart' - which highlights the value of an education system.

The SECMOL community students time divide between work, play, and classes.

Apart from accomplishing daily chores of cleaning the campus, whilst helping to cook and serve meals, the students grow their own vegetables and rear cattle.

They also do their bit to promote sustainable development by using biodegradable products and appliances powered by solar energy.

Why we seek knowledge, how we can become responsible citizens, and what is our role in making the environment sustainable,SECMOL was a pleasant surprise in terms of the holistic education it fosters, as well as its strong sense of community and social responsibility.

As Rabindranath Tagore believed, the mind grows best in nature's lap.

What better place than amidst the mighty mountains and lush greenery, where children can play, learn, and grow to become independent thinking and responsible individuals.
