Only Organisation in the WORLD

Advancing Social Emotional Learning for Bengali Ethnicity. Do you know Bengalis are the third largest ethnic group in the world & there is NO SEL Education for our Kids? We are bridging this GAP.

What we do?

Anything beyond School

Let's face it, Traditional Education is no longer enough to prepare our kids for the challenges of the current world. And we decided to change that by bringing in iSEL (iAmMotherly Social Emotional Learning).

We do everything that Schools DON'T. All of our programs, both current and planned, ensure brain development in a way that children acquire crucial like skills, learn to apply everything they learn and succeed in real life.

We work in partnership with Global Organizations to develop local curriculum and programs and to provide data for high impact research for optimum brain development in children. We are built on Latest Scientific Research, Global Accreditations & Certified Teaching Staff

How we do it?

iSEL Everywhere

The VISION is to provide “Anything Beyond School”. Aside from delivering iSEL Programs on our Campus, we have partnered with Schools, Corporates, Community Clubs, and Societies. We are also working to improve the National Curriculum through iSEL under SDG goal 4.7. We would like to make sure that none of our children is deprived of Quality Education.

Our History

iSEL is born from the inspiration of 1994 CASEL

CASEL was formed in 1994 to establish high-quality, evidence-based SEL as an essential part of preschool through high school education globally. However, till today, Bengali Ethnicity is deprived from it's benefits. iSEL is born from the inspiration of CASEL and promises to deliver the same benefit to our children.

We are an IMPACT Organization & working toward the United Nations SDG Goal 4 (Quality Education). A locally formed legal entity, a limited company privately held (Operating under Trade License no. 158557), backed by AR Capital - Hedge Fund, NY.

We are led by a phenomenal Leadership Team, Advisory Board Members, Supportive Shareholders, and also supported by a Thought Leadership Council who are globally accredited academicians & experts in their respective fields.

We also have a volunteer team from different backgrounds, working towards the the same goal for the betterment of our children.

Our work is getting noticed!
