Mission More information in the schoolplan.
"We want to support and educate children in their growth to social, creative, self conscious, independent and well developed personalities, who will make a positive and effective contribution to society in our region and our country. We want them to be persons who take responsibility for their own future, own people, fellow countrymen and global well being."

Vision
"In the 21st century we see a lot of development all over the world. By the life-long involvement & efforts of both Students, teaching & non-teaching Staff in the school; we want to enable the pupils to learn with Mind, Heart & Body. We want them to be prepared for the future of their own choice with a sound knowledge of their own cultures. We want them to be conscious of the values of their background and of the contribution they can make to their future by working & living in a constructive and thoughtful way. We want them to support Nepal in this modern world. We want to provide opportunities for all parents and children, not looking at their financial affairs but looking at their attitude towards our conviction that everyone who really puts in the effort to develop him/herself will succeed to make a better life for all. All teachers will support and council each pupil at his/ her own level and guide him / her to want to enlarge his / her competences in a natural democratic way."

Teaching system of Sapana School
The playing of young children is the natural way of learning. By playing they develop their body, a lot of physical abilities and skills. The natural target is to become independent beings.

In Sapana School we have chosen for learning through experience or so to say the natural way of learning.
We have seen that this way of learning gives integrated- and meaningful learning. We have looked closer to the meaning of projects, their process and results on several levels. We have concluded that the four pillars of education, as given in the UNESCO report, support project-work as a way of learning, as didactic system.

Jacques Delors wrote in 1996 a report on education of the 21st century for UNESCO. In it he discerns

THE FOUR PILARS OF EDUCATION
" learning to know - means to learn how you can acquire knowledge, to understand and use the process of learning in an effective way
" learning to do - means to learn to translate knowledge into practice and practice into knowledge - to make or invent things
" learning to be - means to learn who you are and to develop personal abilities, also to develop emotional and social skills to communicate effective with one self and others and to co-operate
" learning to live - means to learn to integrate all this knowledge to settle, to provide own livelihood, to live a healthy and satisfactory life, a precious human life.
So: stream of information --- practical use --- personal behaviour --- successful life

We have chosen six themes over the school year and the themes are the same for all grades, although of course for every higher grade a higher level.
In the gradation of the matter of tuition we connect last years experience and the knowledge of the students with the 'new round' of the learning process.
Step by step the students acquire more experience and knowledge and the earlier 'picked-up' knowledge will be refreshed. More information in the schoolplan. What about education
