Dear Parents of Alok Vidyashram,

As the Founder and Principal of Sushila Arts Academy, I am thrilled to have an opportunity to promote the Arts, as it is the basis of all education, to the children at Alok Vidyashram.
As the result of our mid-term assessment of the progress and development as far as Arts curriculum is concerned, we would like to seek your help and assistance on the following:
- Please ensure that the child has a musical instrument / sketch books, art materials and brings it to school regularly
- Please remind the child to bring the music notations to the school
- Please request the child to also practice at home to ensure consistent development of the skills
- Please encourage the child to pursue the Arts. As the role model, we parents, play a vital role in our children’s interests and skills development.
Alok Vidyashram school provides a wide range of possibilities to ensure your child has enough exposure and experience in the form of inter house competitions, concerts, annual programs etc.
Sushila Arts Academy aims to provide a good platform for the Art / Music / Dance skills development following a specifically designed curriculum.
Only together, with your support and encouragement, your child will be able to benefit from the holistic education, which is only possible through the Art Education exposure.

With Gratitude and Warm Regards,

Yulia Koirala
Sushila Arts Academy Founder and Principal

A health and hygiene program for the girls of Classes V-VII along with their mothers was held on Aug 25, 2017 to make them aware of different aspects of the monthly cycles as a part of the school program. This program was conducted by Procter & Gamble, India and it helped open a free dialogue between the mothers and their girls.

Alok Vidyashram has started special hands on classes for Classes 4 & 5 in the first term which is followed by classes for students of Classes 2 & 3 in the second term. These classes are conducted by trained professionals from Karkhana where they turn the classroom into a learning lab and teach children about concepts of science, maths and interdisciplinary subjects and make them develop innovative ideas and products in these classes. This is an educational experience for the children which makes them curious about simple ideas and helps them innovate.
Thank you,

The students have initiated the Alok Model United Nations for Classes VII-XI in which they are engaged in a learning process in the form of a workshop over a period of four weeks starting from Aug 20,2017. This is being conducted by trained professionals from the Youth Thinkers Society which is an organization accredited by the US Embassy in Nepal. Alok Model United Nations is a fun way of learning about the world. In this era of globalization, being globally aware is more important than ever. Also, having fun makes it easier to learn something. It develops leadership skills. AMUN is an exercise in research, public speaking, and teamwork. These are skills that students develop will be needed throughout their career and AMUN gives a chance to practice them while they’re still students.
