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

I am the Vice Principal for the Saligao Campus

As Vice Principal of the Saligao 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

I am 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.
