WHO WE ARE
We’re an early-stage global nonprofit startup working to make quality education accessible worldwide through e-learning technology.
Founded in the United States in 2018, School Group is working hard to become one of the most innovative and far-reaching educational research and technology organizations in the world. Thanks to our dedicated staff of volunteers, we are currently working in six countries — with representatives 20 nations — and plan to impact learning and lives around the world.
OUR CEO’S STORY
The pursuit of better learning
Growing up in a small village in Nepal, Bimal Kumar, our founder, walked an hour each day to attend a school that lacked basic resources like textbooks and a library. And despite feeling trapped in a system that relied on monotonous rote learning, task completion and testing, he excelled. Eventually, he moved to the United States, graduating from the University of Texas with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Intrigued by the differences between in the educations systems of his homeland and adopted country, he set out on a journey to better understand the foundation of quality learning. His travels took him to more than 30 countries, where he immersed himself in their national education systems, observing that each had its own strengths and weaknesses. He grew to believe that education could be improved with the latest technology and learning methods. This laid the groundwork for what would become School Group.
