Girl Scholarship:
In Indian society, there is a belief in many poor families that it is unnecessary to educate a girl since she will eventually marry and move into her in-laws home. In contrast, boys are always preferred to be educated. This often leads to the underdevelopment of young girls. These girls end up dropping out of school at an early age and marrying, never reaching their full potential as human beings.

That is why Shreyas began with a mission to provide quality education opportunities for girls from the most disadvantaged parts of the society, especially girls from nearby slum communities. Our team met countless families seeking a better opportunity for their daughters and after months of interviews, the first class of girls on scholarship was admitted into the foundation.

Since then, Shreyas has been providing a quality education for these girls that empowers them to lead their own lives and pursue their dreams. Many of these girls lives have been drastically changed as a result of this program, and many of them are on their way to becoming the bright minds of tomorrow.

With your support, this program will continue to grow over the coming years. It is our objective at Shreyas that one day, every girl in Ahmedabad will be provided with a quality education.

About Shreyas:
From 1947 to 1961, Shreyas was located in Shahibaug, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Shreyas began with twenty children along with some “mothers” and teachers. Madame Maria Montessori, who founded and established the Montessori system of education, was its first president. Shreyas, among the first Montessori schools of India, grew into a full-fledged multilingual day and residential centre with Gujarati or English as the principal languages from nursery level to science and arts intermediate college level.

In 1961, Shreyas moved to a wooded hill near Ambawadi. Shreyas was one of the first attempts to create a complete institution, which would provide a new educational approach for children. Classes start from pre-kindergarten to 7th Grade and a Secondary school from 8th grade to 12th grade in both English and Gujarati medium of instruction.
