PATH works in every school—from rural government schools to elite urban campuses.
PATH, powered by ALfA, is not another program. It's a mindset shift. It transforms classrooms into spaces of deep, joyful learning—without needing extra tech, time, or money.
Already implemented in the world's largest school—City Montessori School, Lucknow, and in remote rural schools across India, PATH is showing what's possible when we rethink how children learn.
PATH isn't a new textbook or training. It’s a radical shift in what classrooms can be.
What you'll notice:
In one month, our slowest learners were outperforming expectations. And the joy in the classroom—nothing like we’ve seen before.
Our students now learn by doing. They talk, they teach, they lead. PATH has redefined what a classroom means to us.
This 3-day immersive experience lets you:

At the heart of PATH lies a unique integration of key skills and values. We cultivate essential skills such as Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, and Creativity, while simultaneously nurturing values like Character, Citizenship, Climate-Consciousness, and Connectedness. These elements are not taught as separate subjects but are seamlessly woven into everyday classroom learning, following global frameworks like the OECD Learning Compass and India's NEP 2020.
The Path 1+5+4+5 Model offers a range of benefits that directly support teachers in their day-to-day teaching experience. It simplifies lesson planning by providing a clear and structured framework for every session, reducing preparation time. With its built-in routines like daily random pairing and step-by-step learning cycles, classroom management becomes easier and more engaging for students.
Becomes a tool for growth rather than a stress point. Through this system, teachers and parents receive instant feedback on student progress. The app scans OMR sheets to provide real-time insights, enabling personalized support for each learner without increasing the workload of teachers. This results in less paperwork and more effective, focused teaching.
Look at most classrooms, even the so-called progressive ones, and you will still find the same old rhythm: fixed timetables, 45-minute periods, a curriculum that keeps moving whether children are ready or not.
“Pin Drop Silence!” Many of us recall our teachers bellowing at us. Discipline in classrooms is often associated with silence. A quiet child is often considered to be obedient and is clearly seen as attentive and well-behaved.
Walk into almost any school in India, and you'll see the same picture, a classroom full of children sitting still, too still. Their backs are straight, hands on the desk, lips sealed.
Walk into many schools today and you’ll see smartboards, colorful furniture, maybe even project-based units. The factory model, we’re told, is behind us.

PATH stands for Purposeful, Active, Transformative and Holistic Education. It is a research-based pedagogy designed to help students from KG to Grade 8 achieve learning outcomes of one grade higher through paired learning, interactive, and joyful learning methods.
Unlike conventional teacher-led instruction, PATH is student-driven. Children learn in pairs and small groups, building on what they already know. It reduces rote learning and increases engagement, retention, and real understanding.
PATH can be integrated into your current school timetable with flexibility. It works well as the core teaching approach or as a dedicated innovation period. Implementation support is provided for smooth integration.
Currently, PATH is designed for Grades KG to 8, covering English, Maths and Hindi [Or other regional language] through an interdisciplinary approach.

You can start with a pilot in one or two grades. DEVI Sansthan supports you with training, materials, assessments, and review mechanisms during the pilot phase.Here you can implement in some classes and experience the difference.
PATH helps improve academic outcomes, classroom engagement, and parental satisfaction. Implementing PATH also positions your school as a leader in innovative education, committed to quality and equity.
Just 2–3 days of core training to get started. Ongoing handholding, video support, and session planning tools are provided.
PATH builds the core learning outcomes (LOs) that all boards require. It's a foundation-first approach, not a replacement for curriculum — it makes it easier to meet syllabus demands.
