The 3.2.1 School successfully completed its first year with over 100 kindergarten students. School leader and EdVillage Global Fellow Gaurav Singh, a Teach For India alum, recently won the Echoing Green Fellowship in recognition of this innovative school model. This summer, with the support of EdVillage, 3.2.1 hosted Juliana Worrell from Uncommon Schools to conduct teacher training as 3.2.1 prepares to expand. EdVillage also worked with curriculum developer TERC to provide their math curriculum free of charge for the benefit of the 3.2.1 students who come from the slums in south Mumbai.
In January, 2013, the Bombay (Mumbai) Municipal School Corporation adopted a public private partnership school model (akin to the charter schools in the US). The BMSC will partner with established low-cost school operators, like the 3.2.1 Education Foundation, and provide public funding for the education of disadvantaged students in Mumbai. The schools will have access to government owned facilities and will be reimbursed for a portion of their expenses. In return, the schools will prepare students for the standard assessments
