In the primary school, we have 25 students supported by three teachers—two local teachers and one international volunteer teacher. The presence of volunteer teachers from abroad brings an international perspective and open-minded attitude to our classrooms, enriching the learning experience and providing valuable teacher training for our local staff. The learning environment in our primary school is designed to be nurturing and family-like. Many of our students come from difficult backgrounds, having experienced the civil war in Myanmar or the loss of family members. It is crucial that they find a safe and secure place at Mudita School where they can relax, play, and enjoy their childhood. To support their emotional and physical well-being, we incorporate numerous art classes where students can dance, sing, and play, fostering a welcoming and joyful atmosphere. Additionally, we emphasize outdoor activities through community service, such as planting vegetables and caring for the flower garden. These activities help students reconnect with nature and find peace and stability in their surroundings. Our curriculum blends traditional Burmese schooling with modern educational approaches in subjects like science, mathematics, and especially English. We utilize materials from the Cambridge University English curriculum and have integrated five different grades into our primary school structure (grades 1 to 5). When we started three years ago, many students had never attended school, while others had some experience in the first or second grade. Despite these varied starting points, our intensive and inclusive teaching methods have allowed us to progress quickly. For example, in English, we have advanced to using grade six materials within three years, completing two books per year due to our focused and supportive environment. The integral teaching approach, where stronger students help weaker ones, fosters a family-like atmosphere and inclusion. Combined with our three-teacher model, this method allows us to provide intensive care and break large classes into smaller groups for more personalized attention. Our use of outside classrooms, surrounded by flower gardens and the eco-farm, provides a dynamic and engaging learning environment. A significant part of our curriculum is teaching ethics through civil education. This subject focuses on hard skills and soft skills, emphasizing personal development, character building, and the cultivation of good values and attitudes from an early age. This approach is central to Mudita’s philosophy, aiming to nurture our students' inner qualities and their role in the community.

In our middle school, we have 20 students ranging in age from 12 to 14, covering grades six to eight. These classes prepare students for the final years of high school by introducing more demanding subjects as part of a standard middle school curriculum. While students engage in enjoyable activities like project-based learning and international cooperation, they also face progressively challenging academic work. Our project-based learning integrates multiple subjects into collaborative projects. For example, in biology, students learn about biodiversity and the nutrition cycle in theory and then apply this knowledge practically on our eco-farm. Students also develop practical skills through handicrafts, such as knitting and basic woodworking. Additionally, they gain essential life skills in computer classes, learning to use Microsoft Office programs, computer programming, and various online applications. As students progress, their English proficiency improves, allowing many subjects to be taught in English using content from the curriculum of our international partner schools. This alignment facilitates collaborative projects with partner schools in Germany, including regular Zoom classes and cultural exchange activities. These projects emphasize global citizenship and help students make international friends. One popular activity is cooking classes with our international schools, where students cook German meals and exchange Burmese recipes. These sessions provide a fun way to learn about different cultures and foster communication and understanding. Our holistic teaching approach blends traditional values and methods, such as handicrafts and eco-farming, with modern education from our international partner schools. This combination ensures a balanced education that engages students physically, emotionally, and intellectually. The integration of traditional and modern education ensures that our students are well-rounded, culturally aware, and equipped for their future endeavors.

In our two high school classes Pre-GED and GED, we have 31 students supported by one specialized teacher for each subject and an assisting international volunteer teacher. Our high school program follows the General Education Development (GED) curriculum, offering an internationally recognized diploma. This opens doors for our students beyond Myanmar and Thailand, allowing them to pursue higher education and career opportunities globally, including in countries like Germany, Australia, and Thailand. The GED curriculum includes four main subjects: Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and English Language Arts. As an international program, all subjects are taught solely in English. This high standard of education prepares students for the final GED exams, which are conducted at international test centers. To support this rigorous academic program, we prepare our primary and middle school students to build a strong foundation in general knowledge and English proficiency. They are ready to engage fully in the GED curriculum by reaching high school. Our international standard facilitates collaboration with partner schools such as the Community School, HPC International School from Heidelberg and PREM School from Chiang Mai. We have Zoom classes and use Google Classroom for joint assignments and discussions. This collaboration extends to teaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing personal, social, and emotional growth alongside academic excellence. The holistic approach of our partner schools, which focuses on developing strong character and social skills, aligns well with our philosophy. Together, we create informed and compassionate global citizens engaged in community service and charity activities. This shared commitment is reflected in projects like the family support program, where students support refugee families in need. In addition to core subjects, our high school students participate in community service, taking on leadership roles in designing and maintaining the school's gardens and outdoor sitting areas. They also engage in art classes, creating beautiful wall paintings, pottery, and art installations that enhance the school environment. Sports and physical activities are integral to our program. Students use the football and volleyball fields for exercise and recreation. Music classes, where students play guitar and sing together, further foster a sense of community and create a vibrant school atmosphere. Overall, Mudita School's high school curriculum blends challenging academic preparation with practical life skills, creativity, and community engagement. This comprehensive education equips our students to become successful, compassionate leaders ready to make a positive impact in the world.

Our youth program has gained momentum, engaging around thirty young members from the area. This initiative provides comprehensive training in computer skills, software programming, handicrafts, and English at various levels. The enthusiasm and dedication of these young learners are a testament to the program's success and its positive impact on their futures. Find out more in our Youth Program section below.

The Seminar Center is a two-story building nestled within a lush garden. This center hosts our new seminar program, offering a wide range of courses such as English classes, computer classes, and vocational training. The vocational training extends beyond youth to include villagers and parents of our students, with courses like tailoring, carpentry, and other planned vocational programs. Additionally, the Seminar center will host programs focused on well-being, holistic health, teacher training, and psychology courses. Read More in our Seminar Center section.
