Extra-acads is core to a holistic learning foundation, and integral part of school and college lives. It helps students not just hone soft-skills, but also become better thinkers, more focused, more creative, and happier. Openhouse clubs is an inclusive space where high-schoolers work and learn together to pursue extra-academic passions. 

We are an education startup re-imagining how India learns after school, and building social communities where students can explore and pursue hobbies, meet like-minded peers, learn and build stuff.
