My name is Harmeet

I am the Head of Paradise School.

I have been with Paradise from the beginning, August 2016.

I hold a Masters degree in Social Sciences from Tata Institute of Social Sciences ( TISS ), Mumbai and a degree in Management from Wye College UK, along with a  B.ed and CELTA. I have been involved in the Development and Education field since 1994, having worked with ILO, EU and Ford Foundation in the areas of Education and Empowerment of communities.

As a School Leader, Head and Educator, I wholeheartedly believe that cultivating authentic relationships with students, teachers and parents is the foundation to nurturing the next generation.  Paradise is the space which allows learners to flourish by promoting and encouraging the learners to think for themselves, share their ideas however wild they are and let them take charge of their learning, beyond just completing curriculums, with the support and guidance of the educators. This is what is needed in the present context of this ever changing world. Paradise provides that environment which prepares every learner to follow their dream.

For me Paradise is just not a school, it is “Paradise” where everyone flourishes and grows together.

My name is Bala

Iam the Vice Principal for the Moira Campus

As Vice Principal of the Moira Campus, I bring fifteen years of experience teaching young adults in the alternative international education space, specializing in Renewable Energies, Sciences, Mathematics, and Technology. My educational philosophy centers on transforming how students engage with learning through hands-on discovery and practical application.

My classroom approach prioritizes fostering a genuine love for learning. Our small class sizes enable me to provide individualized attention, identifying and nurturing each learner’s strengths while providing targeted support in areas of growth. Rather than simply presenting formulas and principles, I guide students to discover these concepts themselves through experimentation and real-world projects. This inquiry-based approach helps students develop critical thinking skills while building confidence in their abilities to solve complex problems.

Having served as a Cambridge examinations manager for eleven years, I possess comprehensive knowledge of their curriculum structure and educational methodology. Working within Cambridge’s flexible curriculum framework gives me the unique opportunity to tailor education to each student’s individual journey, ensuring our approach remains aligned with international standards while maintaining innovative teaching practices.

This deep understanding of Cambridge’s system allows me to support our teaching staff extensively, helping them create dynamic and engaging classrooms. I work closely with our educators to ensure they have the tools and insights needed to make their classes more vibrant and interesting, drawing on my extensive experience with Cambridge’s methods to enhance our collective teaching effectiveness.

At Paradise, we believe education should inspire curiosity, build competence, and prepare students not just for examinations, but for life’s challenges through practical understanding and creative problem-solving.

My name is Sharon

Iam the Vice Principal for the Parra Campus

I have had the incredible privilege of working with young minds for over twelve years and for the past eight, I’ve been part of the vibrant community at Paradise School.

My journey with Paradise has been one of deep connection, challenge, and growth. I am fully invested in our school’s mission and in creating a space where students not only achieve academic excellence but also grow into compassionate, curious, and confident individuals.

In my role, I work closely with our dedicated team of educators to enhance teaching and learning. We are proud to be a Cambridge school. The Cambridge curriculum empowers our students to think critically, question thoughtfully, and adapt confidently in an ever-changing world.

Our approach is further enriched by the SOLE (Self-Organised Learning Environments) methodology—encouraging self-directed learning, collaboration, and intellectual curiosity.

What makes Paradise special is not just the curriculum or facilities—it’s the people. The students, the teachers, the families—all of you. I look forward to collaborating closely with each of you, supporting our learners’ journeys, and continuing to build a school community we can all be proud of.

My name is Minelli

Iam the Wellbeing Educator for the Parra Campus

As the Wellbeing Educator at Paradise School Parra, I support the emotional and social development of students. My work is rooted in my training in Intermodal Expressive Arts Therapy and Process Work and guided by a deep belief in the power of creative and compassionate care.

I facilitate wellbeing sessions where students explore their thoughts, feelings, and relationships through art, movement, storytelling, and reflective dialogue. These sessions are designed to be safe, inclusive spaces that nurture self-awareness, emotional resilience, and empathy. I also offer individual support for students who may need a little more guidance or someone to talk to.

Over the last few years I have been working in the field of emotional education, designing and facilitating programs that help children and young adults understand and manage their emotions.With a background in architecture and a strong connection to community and ecology, I bring an interdisciplinary and heart-centered approach to my work, one that helps young people not only navigate school life but also grow into more grounded, thoughtful, and connected individuals.

My name is Ginni

Iam the Drama and Life Skills Educator for the Parra Campus

I create spaces for exploration of the self through Drama and Life Skills at school.

I joined the Paradise family in the year 2023. My practice is deeply rooted around creating a safe space for the learners, using their body as a medium for experiencing, researching and discovering the world within and around us; sharing our stories, perspectives, and learnings with each other.

I have a degree in Psychology (MA), Education (B.Ed and ECC.Ed), and Commerce (B.Com).

My training as a Dance/Movement Therapist at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS – Mumbai) served as a pivotal shift in my journey of facilitating embodied learning. Cognition is shaped by bodily experiences; being in tune with our body allows for an in-depth experience of life.

I am grateful for the school, for all the wonderful beings that create magic here and for this space that holds everything and everyone with care and compassion.

Through the eyes of a child ~ this voice, this thought, this consciousness; helps me create, share, exchange and grow with children and for children.

Keep shining and keep moving! 😊

Being around children teaching and learning from them gives me great joy, and the experiences everyday allow me to find the need to be part of a process which very few schools offer.

I believe in what I teach, and strive to expand the meaning of farming to young people today.

My name is Arjun

I teach Digital Literacy at the Parra Campus

Iam Arjun

I teach Digital Literacy for Upper Primary

“Curiosity leads, learning follows.”

As a SOLE educator, I believe that children learn best when they are given the freedom to question and express their ideas. My classroom is built on choice and creativity, set in an environment where students take ownership of their learning. Through projects like the school magazine and our yearbook, students explore media creation, collaboration, and self-expression in authentic ways. I support them in becoming confident digital communicators, critical thinkers, and responsible users of technology.

Technology is not just a tool but the medium of our classroom. Students are encouraged to use their own devices for research, content creation, and collaborative inquiry. AI is integrated mindfully and not as a shortcut, but as a partner for exploration, creativity, and ethical discussion.

My role is not to instruct but to ignite and guide learners as they navigate digital landscapes, sharpen their information fluency, and express their ideas through purposeful, student led work.

My name is Vianni

I teach Computing at the Parra Campus

My role as a computing educator at Paradise School Goa sees me guiding students from Group 1 through to IGCSE Computer Science, with a focus on establishing a robust foundation in digital thinking and problem-solving skills.

With a Master’s degree in Computer Applications and two years of experience in teaching, I prioritise hands-on learning and exploration, nurturing critical thinking in every lesson. I am particularly passionate about algorithms, digital privacy and the growing role of AI, and I aim to inspire students to understand and shape technology, not just use it.

My name is Anita

I teach Physical Education at the Parra Campus

I have been teaching in Paradise School for the past 6 years and have enjoyed the experience tremendously. I am an athlete with a Bachelors in Communication. I have represented Goa in athletics several times over, won National medals and led teams at National level as Team Manager. 

Additionally, I am trained and certified in Zumba, EREPS Express and First Aid. 

Being a Physical Education teacher for the past 8 years has been my passion and profession. I love seeing children participating in sports, learning the skills and tactics of games and connecting with what their strong bodies can do. 

Paradise is a great environment for me to express myself as a teacher and also gives children a chance to share their thoughts too. 

My name is Varsha

I am the SOLE Ambassador for Paradise School.

As Chuck Palahniuk said, “What we call chaos is just patterns that we don’t recognize.” As an educator, we know that the classroom is always on the brink of total chaos. But what if we welcomed the mayhem instead of holding it back? The SOLE method helps us transmute the classroom chaos into BIG spontaneous bursts of cerebral creativity. As SOLE ambassador, I encourage our teachers to shift the narrative of disorganization in a classroom to self-organization. This helps us discover new, learner-centric ways of pedagogy which creates a unique educational environment.

More importantly, it helps students discard the fear of asking the wrong questions and finding the wrong answers. In doing so, it helps them leave the harsh conditioning of the conventional schooling system behind by forging a new path at Paradise that activates children’s relationship with the world they live in.

My name is Cassandra

I'm Class Teacher for Stage 1 and I am the English Educator for the Lower Primary Learners.

Paradise is a fabulous step in the right direction. The SOLE method is child-centric and provides a great opportunity for the learners to engage in research by giving them an environment for self discovery.

My name is Shama

 I hold a Bachelor’s degree from St. Xaviers College in Ahmedabad and have completed my Diploma in Elementary Education from SCERT, Goa 

I have been working with primary learners for the past 10 years. This is my third year of teaching at Paradise School.

My name is Joanne

I am the Class Teacher and also teach Maths to Lower Primary

As a Lower Primary math educator, I’m passionate about sparking curiosity and confidence in young learners. I believe that every child can enjoy and succeed in mathematics when it’s taught with creativity, patience, and purpose.

In my classroom, learning is hands-on, interactive, and connected to real life. Whether we’re learning about addition, subtraction, or measurement, I aim to make math both meaningful and fun through engaging activities, real-world connections, and visual tools. My goal is to help students build a solid foundation in mathematical thinking while nurturing their problem-solving skills and encouraging them to see challenges as opportunities.

My name is Martina

Iam the Class teacher for Reception (LKG)

Hi, I am Martina, an educator for Reception (LKG). I have a Diploma in Elementary Education and have been teaching lower primary children for the past nine years. This is my second year at Paradise, where I teach subjects like English, Mathematics, Science, and Craft.

What I love most about teaching is that no two children—and no two days—are ever the same. I believe learning should be fun, meaningful, and full of wonder. That’s why I am always exploring new ways to make lessons come alive and connect with each child’s unique way of learning. Paradise gives me the space to explore new ideas and bring them into the classroom, creating an environment where curiosity and confidence thrive.

My name is Swapnila

I teach Mathematics for Upper Primary

I hold degrees in Science and Education and bring over 15 years of experience teaching students aged 8 to 16 across diverse curricula.

My teaching is rooted in inquiry-led, student-centred learning that fosters curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

In Mathematics, I focus on making abstract concepts tangible through hands-on activities, real-life applications, and team-based problem solving. I integrate ICT tools and the SOLE (Self-Organised Learning Environment) approach to inspire independent discovery and meaningful learning.

My name is Marienella

I teach Science for Upper Primary

“Science thrives in a community of thinkers, and so does the classroom”

As a Science teacher, I believe in cultivating curiosity and critical thinking through the lens of the Scientific Method. Science is not just a collection of facts—it’s a dynamic process of discovery, questioning, and problem-solving. Learners are guided through this approach, empowering them to ask meaningful questions and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them through engaging experiments and activities. Throughout the year , lessons are designed that encourage teamwork, peer discussion, and shared inquiry, where the learners learn from each other and build on diverse perspectives. In doing so, they not only master scientific concepts but also develop essential communication and collaboration skills.
By blending the rigor of the scientific method with the power of collaborative learning, I aim to create a classroom environment where curiosity is sparked, creativity is nurtured, and every learner is equipped to be a lifelong learner and an independent thinker.

My name is Nikita
I teach English for Upper Primary
The future of our planet rests firmly on the shoulders of those who inherit it. These
responsibilities need a preparedness that all are promised but a few receive. As an
educator, it is my privilege to be a part of the process of preparing these young minds
and hearts to take on the challenges that the world has to offer. I am energetic, diligent,
and maintain a positive outlook, qualities I strive to instill in my learners every day. I
believe in creating a classroom environment that is both engaging and nurturing, where
learning becomes an enjoyable journey.
Paradise School offers the ideal setting for this, allowing me the flexibility to connect
with my learners through meaningful conversations and creative teaching methods.
Learning English at Paradise doesn’t just mean understanding vocabulary and learning a
whole lot of grammar and literature, it means applying, creating and developing
language as they go. It’s a place where I can help shape bright futures—and make lasting
memories along the way.

My name is Reshmi

I'm the Class Teacher for Group 2 and I teach Maths to Lower Secondary

My philosophy of teaching is based on my views and beliefs on education developed over the past 8 years of teaching, 4 of which have been at Paradise. 

Teaching is an opportunity to love and empower children. I enjoy sharing my passion, understanding and knowledge of Mathematics with my learners. My aim is to develop their curiosity, instill a passion for numeracy and provide them with the necessary resources and skills to analyse the world around them. 

I use a variety of instructional, collaborative and experiential methods to actively engage my students considering their learning styles and aptitude. Being part of the CICT&L course held at Paradise helped me with understand this. Integrating technology in the classrooms has added more value to students learning beyond the classroom, especially in the areas of skill-based learning. 

This integrated multi-modal learning has helped students implement specific ideas at their point of need. Curiosity is generated by asking a BIG QUESTION either at the beginning of a new concept or at the end of it. This is how we integrate SOLE into our Maths learning. 

My name is Swapnila

The Paradise community is a truly supportive and inspiring environment that values each individual’s unique outlook.

I hold a Master’s degree in Physics, and have been with Paradise for the last two years. My approach is rooted in making scientific ideas approachable while helping students connect science to their personal interests.

Every child is naturally curious, and curiosity is the first step to loving science. I encourage students to explore questions that matter to them and support them in conducting structured investigations, where they learn to observe, ask questions, plan, research, and present findings. These are skills that serve them well beyond the classroom.

At Paradise, students are seen as capable learners and thinkers. My aim is to give them both the freedom to express themselves and the tools to develop understanding, helping them grow into confident and informed problem-solvers.

I  have also tutored IB students in Theory of Knowledge for the past 6 years. I have a deep love for learning and exploring perspectives that make us human and help us to engage with each other more honestly and with greater clarity. Paradise School Goa engenders these principles within its primary ethos and makes for an amazingly vivid and insightful learning experience for learners and teachers alike.

Paradise, and the SOLE system, allow me to facilitate learning through a process of conversation, collaboration and reflection, wherein the learners  are able to discover their own unique relationship with the subject matter, thus making their learning more meaningful.

I am a trained Microbiologist and have spent the last 11 working as a Teacher, Wildlife Biologist/Naturalist, Waste Management and Sanitation Consultant. I have 5 years of teaching experience of which one year has been spent at Paradise. 

It has been my experience that scientific learning can be made much more fun by providing a context to learning that is sometimes missing from mainstream Science education. I frequently journey with my learners into History, Political science, Anthropology, Economics and Ecology to trace the root that sparked a need for Science and its contributions in the first place. 

It’s been a very insightful and educational 18 months at Paradise as it really gives me the space and resources to customise pedagogy and be attentive to students’ individual needs.

My name is Isa

I teach Spanish for IGCSE

The Primary and Lower Secondary conversational Spanish course emphasises listening, comprehension, and speaking and at IGCSE we formalise this into a qualification.

Through the study of everyday topic areas, learners gain insight into the cultures of countries and communities where Spanish is spoken and participate meaningfully in a simple conversation in the target language, using learned words, phrases, and short sentences in a limited number of familiar contexts and comprehensible to those accustomed to interacting with non-native speakers of the language.

My name is Mukund

I teach Art & Design for IGCSE

I am a Bio-Architect, Artist, and Educator specializing in Intermodal Expressive Art Therapy and Neuroaesthetic Art. My transformative journey, titled “The Art of Unconditioning,” reflects my evolution—from being an artist to becoming the art itself.

I advocate for play as a medium for healing and education, which led me to co-found KHEL, a cycle cart initiative aimed at educating street children through creative engagement. My global experiences—such as participating in the Warriors Without Weapons program in Brazil and working as a nomadic natural builder across Turkey—have deeply informed my approach to participatory architecture.

To me, art is a space you witness from the outside, while architecture is art you experience from within.

My projects span a wide range of creative expressions, including sculpting and building with natural materials, book illustrations, storyboarding, wall murals, and working as a concept artist and VR game character and space designer. My artistic language draws from optical illusions, surrealism, and the science of neuroaesthetics, making it both diverse and immersive.

As the creator of Sochalaya and co-founder of Obaruhu, I integrate art, psychology, and architecture through participatory methodologies. My practice thrives on intuitively embodying art through play, nurturing creativity in people of all ages—from young children to elderly adults—through workshops conducted in both formal and informal educational settings.

My training includes Intuitive Natural Building, Intermodal Expressive Arts, and the Art of Unconditioning, all with a deep therapeutic focus.

That’s why I enjoy my job and the subjects I teach at Paradise School Goa. This space allows me to explore my interests and discuss important social issues with the students who are the next generation of leaders. I

have also enjoyed working with the SOLE method as it justifiably places the power of learning in the students’ hands. It also helps me tap into the interdisciplinary nature of 21st century education.
