In 2008-09, LeapForWord got access to its first BMC school, namely, Chakala Municipal School. Additionally the course was also initiated at Shirpur (District, Dhulia) – our first rural school project. The Effort reached ~145 students through its school project in this year. The classes were conducted only on saturdays after school hours.

In 2009-10, The Effort made significant inroads in the BMC schools adding 16 new batches across 6 BMC schools. Also beginning this year, LeapForWord got official permission to conduct classes during regular school hours in the municipal schools unlike the previous two years when the classes were conducted only on saturdays after school hours. The Effort reached ~600 students across 9 schools/educational institutions in this Academic Year. 

In 2010-11, The Effort is adding another ~480 students across 5 new BMC schools. In addition, a new school is being reached at Shirpur bringing another 80 tribal children into the programme. The Effort is also partnering with other Non Profits to take the programme to more number of students at a faster pace. In all these new additions a delivery model is being implemented where in the teachers of BMC/partner non-profit will teach the students while LeapForWord will support by way of training the teachers in content delivery, providing books to students, assessing the achievement of learning objectives and overall monitoring of the execution of the project.

The course is offered free of cost to all our students.
