About Us

About Us

At Karuna Academy, nestled in the heart of the majestic Solukhumbu District, we are dedicated to providing an educational experience that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Our school offers a warm, supportive, and stimulating environment where children from Kindergarten through Grade 5 are encouraged to grow and explore at their own pace, while building a strong foundation for their future. We believe that every child is unique, and our blended Montessori/Waldorf approach is designed to foster a love of learning, independence, creativity, and a deep sense of responsibility towards their community and the world.

Our Philosophy

At Karuna Academy, we understand that education is not just about academics—it's about developing the whole child. Our educational philosophy combines the best aspects of Montessori and Waldorf systems to create a nurturing and dynamic learning environment.

Montessori Approach

The Montessori method places children at the center of their learning experience. It encourages students to explore and learn at their own pace, helping them become independent, self-motivated, and confident. The Montessori approach fosters curiosity, self-discipline, and responsibility, allowing children to take charge of their education and develop a lifelong love for learning.

Waldorf Approach

The Waldorf philosophy emphasizes creativity, imagination, and holistic development. We believe that the arts, imagination, and nature are essential in fostering intellectual growth. Students engage with a wide range of creative and artistic activities that support emotional and social development, while also building cognitive abilities.
