We proudly launched Ohana on Wednesday 22nd July, in the beautiful surrounds of the Royal Society of Arts. The event brought together educators, families, advocates and industry leaders to celebrate a new vision for education, one that puts children at the centre of everything we do.
At Ohana, we believe every child deserves an education that recognises who they are, not just how they perform and we recognise that every child learns, connects and grows differently.
Through high-quality teaching, personalised learning pathways, emotionally intelligent support and innovative digital experiences, Ohana creates an environment where every child is known, supported and empowered to build confidence, independence and the skills they need to thrive.
We’re delighted to bring you the best bits from the evening, throughout the video, you’ll hear from:
Charu Kashyap, Founder of Ohana, sharing the vision and purpose behind creating a different kind of school.
Carrie Grant, broadcaster, vocal coach and passionate advocate for neurodivergent children and inclusive education, who reflects on the UK education system and the importance of finding learning environments where every child can flourish.
A former student from our physical schools, whose stories demonstrate the life-changing impact of being understood, supported and encouraged to succeed.
The evening also featured an exclusive preview of “Unauthorised Absence“, created by Natalie Lauren and Jo Clayton, a powerful short film following a single mother fighting for support for her autistic daughter as she faces fines, legal threats and an education system that wasn’t built to meet their needs. The film shines a light on the challenges experienced by many families across the UK and reinforces why a different approach to education is so important.
Ohana is built on community encompassing belonging, understanding and opportunity, where every child is known, every journey is valued and every learner is empowered to reach their full potential.
