The curriculum encourages students to learn through hands-on experiences in roles such as a banker or doctor, according to owner Nishanth Kondabolu.

“Growing up, I spent countless hours sitting in classrooms, but I often felt that I was only learning a fraction of what truly mattered,” Kondabolu said in an email to Community Impact. “That experience stayed with me, and it inspired me to create something different for the next generation.”
