Khoj is Apni Shala’s SEL-Integrated School Initiative. It uses a holistic educational model that centers on students’ psychosocial well-being to educate and heal and incorporates counseling, mindfulness, and inclusion practices to help empower its students and their families. Khoj aims to become a model school in the given context with a curricular focus on students’ well-being and development.
