About Tamarind Tree:

Tamarind Tree is an alternative school located in Sogve village, Dahanu Taluka, Maharashtra. Catering to the local tribal children of Dahanu, Tamarind Tree offers an English education to first generation tribal learners of the region. An experiment in education, the school believes in creating a learner driven environment using the pedagogy of activity based learning. This coupled with the extensive use of technology makes us different.

At Tamarind Tree, children log on to a virtual learning environment at http://mybigcampus.in to access their courses on science, math and English along with a facilitator. All course content is generated by the team and aims to be contextual and relevant. We believe the school is a way to build social justice and equity.
