About Us

SHC: A Dynamic Unit in a Universe of Care

Study Hall College is one of the educational institutions under Study Hall Educational Foundation (SHEF), a non-profit social enterprise that has been working for four decades to redefine education, and has built a network of initiatives and institutions around this commitment. The network comprises nine educational institutions and four outreach initiatives that provide quality education to all children, with a special focus on girls. Using a holistic, inclusive, life-outcomes-based approach, we have re-cast education across the entire range of challenges that children face in building their agency and personhood.

Since 1986, SHEF has impacted 5 million students (most of them girls from very marginalized communities), 100,000 teachers, and 20 million members of the community.
