In 2012, William N Bissell, founder of The Fabindia School, invited Sandeep Dutt to help the school build a culture of trust and learning. The turning point in our lives and the foundation for My Good School, the Learning Forward India professional learning programme and numerous pioneering initiatives seen at the Good Schools Alliance (GSA). Our mission is to ensure every child receives an outstanding education. Equal access to resources is crucial for nurturing future leaders, so we provide our Special Projects with open access to all our programmes and support their learning needs.

The Teachers Academy, a national teacher capacity-building initiative, focuses on continuous professional development (CPD) to ensure long-term system-level improvement rather than one-off school-based outcomes.
The Doon School Old Boys’ Society (DSOBS) teacher capacity-building pilot project at the Arthur Foot Academy has delivered measurable, scalable and sustainable impact. Trained teachers multiply the value of the original grant year on year, making it a strong example of high-impact education philanthropy.

Program Philosophy: Every student’s journey to success requires mastering financial literacy. We simplify complex concepts into engaging lessons, empowering teachers to help students manage money wisely and achieve their dreams.
कार्यक्रम का मूलमंत्र: प्रत्येक विद्यार्थी की सफलता की राह में वित्तीय साक्षरता का ज्ञान होना आवश्यक है। हम जटिल अवधारणाओं को सरल और रोचक पाठों में ढालते हैं, जिससे शिक्षकों को विद्यार्थियों को धन का बुद्धिमानी से प्रबंधन करने और अपने सपनों को साकार करने में सहायता करने का अवसर मिलता है।
Training-the-Trainer: Train teachers at schools, predominantly women, who significantly impact children’s life skills.
ट्रेनर-द-ट्रेनर: स्कूलों में शिक्षकों को प्रशिक्षित करना, जिनमें मुख्य रूप से महिलाएं शामिल हैं, जो बच्चों के जीवन कौशल पर महत्वपूर्ण प्रभाव डालती हैं।
