Helping students from rural pin codes to aspire.

About Us

Where potential minds meet relevance, opportunities, and transformation.

 

The Sky High, a non-profit startup, is rewriting the story of rural education in India. It’s built on a bold belief: poverty should never define potential.

 

Through a network of affordable, high-quality private schools in Tier 4 towns across Uttar Pradesh, The Sky High envisions nurturing more than academic excellence. It empowers students with the life skills and confidence they need to break barriers and step into careers once thought out of reach.

Why invest in rural education?

Rural students find it extremely hard to enter the white collar job market 

In rural Uttar Pradesh, where 78% of the state’s population live, parents are doing everything they can to give their children a better future. 48.4% of students (nearly half) in UP attend private schools, hoping for quality education, but 65.6% of children in grade 5 can read grade 2 level text.

Families spend a big part of their income on schooling, only to find themselves stuck in the same cycle they were trying to escape.

Let’s move beyond the mindset of poor people = poor solutions.

Hear from Our Stakeholders

I joined The Sky High in April 2024 for Grade 7, and I’m happier than ever. Learning here is fun—we play games, do projects, and even made a newspaper! Math and science feel real, not just theory. I feel safe, confident, and free to express myself. I’ve even met people from big cities, the USA, and Germany. I love this school!

— Anant Tiwari, Grade 7

Our children are happier and more confident, even on the playground. They stay engaged with their homework and are excited to go to school every day. Now, they’re even speaking English!

— Arvind Kumar father of Ansh – LKG

In six years of teaching across many schools, I’ve never experienced a place like The Sky High. Here, children come first. The coaching, active learning approach, and real-life integration in lessons have helped me grow immensely as a teacher. I’m proud to be part of a school that truly values education.

— Pragya Dwivedi, Science Teacher
