About Us
Our school’s hope and strength under this hard situation is the result of the rich history behind it.
The Javi, Narighan, Belanda, Sarab, Karez, Mohajeren, and Takrikolang villages’ children and youth could use the school. Before the establishment of our school, students had to pass 2-8 kilometers on foot to go to a school which was located in Bazar Asyab. There were no transportation facilities at that time leaving the students in hot or very cold weather until they would arrive at their school. With these problems, only a number of boys were able to attend schools and it was the hardest for girls to pass such a long distance so most of them weren’t attending school. Fortunately, our school was close to most of the villages so girls and boys were both equally attending school. The school could graduate thousands of students successfully. Most of them passed the Kankor examination and got accepted to the best universities in our country. After their bachelor’s graduation, our talented students found their way to different master’s and doctoral opportunities outside of the country.
After one year, the building’s construction was finished and classes were transferred into the building. The school’s building had 48 rooms; female students’ classes were scheduled in the morning before midday and male students’ classes after midday to late afternoon. All the financial expenses from the first to 6th grades were paid by the Swedish Committee which was active under the Ministry of Education at that time. The rest of the expenses were paid by Mr. Salehi. The first time that the Taliban invaded Afghanistan, Swedish Committee stopped working therefore the government’s Temporary Administration was supporting the school. In 2014, a library was established inside the school with the financial help of Afghans living in Europe. In 2015, the school’s kindergarten was launched to make children ready for their primary education.
In 2019, sadly, the helps and support to our school in Ghazni were cut off and there was no solution than the unfortunate action of closing the school. However, the door of hope, strength, and eagerness to educate students for a better society was never closed to us thereof with much effort, we were pleased to open the school’s new branch in Kabul in the same year, 2019. Since then, the financial support has been provided by Mr. Salehi and, through him, from other Afghans in Australia and the United States. Our long-term goal in the bigger picture is to be a model school among all the schools inside Afghanistan for a better educational system and positive changes in the society brought by our students.

Our Vision
Our goal is to educate students using a systematic approach to prepare them as in-depth savers of the community’s problems. We teach students to teach society that gender, religion, color, and ethnic differences are the unchangeable beauties of our nation; what needs to be changed and arisen is the level of education and humanity in our people.
Our Mission
Through the efforts of our school and the energy of our students, we envision a society with better educational systems in all the schools, and through good education, we see a society without any type of discrimination.
