Tarakka's school follows its own syllabus. The students range in age from four to fifteen and all study in groups. Each study group is comprised of seven to eight students. The regular government syllabus is introduced only when the student is mentally prepared. Even then the subjects are treated as simple stories.
Every child here is given due importance and is encouraged to learn things at his or her own pace. What is more, there is no tuition fee and uniform too. Food and books are both provided at school. Typically, there are 35-40 students and 4 teachers.

Purna Pragna is an alternate education school that has been especially created to not only address the pitfalls in the conventional education system but also ensure that children from poor socio-economic backgrounds are not deprived of the opportunity for high quality education. Alternate education schools assist children in taking the main stream government exams.
