The school on the hill

At Edopia, childhood is not a waiting room.

It is life — unfolding, raw, and real.

A living community where laughter matters as much as learning, and where conflict, choice, and failure are all welcomed as teachers.

Born in 2014, Edopia is the brainchild of Jaweria Sethi — a Harvard-educated visionary who knew, even as a student, that something vital was missing from traditional education. She had excelled in a system that measured success by achievement but left the soul untouched. She imagined a different kind of place — one that would not rush children toward adulthood, but would honor their childhood as a sacred time of becoming.

Here, learning is not confined by grades, walls, or age. It moves like breath — flowing through passions, projects, community engagement, and inner discovery. Edopia is not a school in the conventional sense. It is a place where children grow as thinkers, and doers, rooted in their sense of self.

Guided by the wisdom of Harvard’s Project Zero, the Reggio Emilia philosophy, and a global community of alternative educators, and informed by cutting-edge future-ready practices, Edopia remains a home for more than 200 families in the heart of Islamabad. Together, they are reimagining what it means to learn, to lead, and above all, to live.
