We don’t prepare children for the world as it is. We empower them to shape the world as it could be.
Education is not about filling minds, but igniting potential. Our approach moves beyond rigid classrooms to create dynamic learning experiences that challenge, stretch, and truly inspire young minds.

Education for a Changed World
When 38% of IIT graduates struggle with jobs, it's not intelligence or effort—it's relevance. The world rewards thinking, adaptability, and self-understanding. Our micro schools deliver that.

Lina Ashar’s story is one of vision, vulnerability, and a lifelong devotion to reimagining what it means to learn. Born with dislocated hips and raised by her grandmother in India, her early separation from her parents shaped a lifelong belief: every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and connected.
Long before “21st-century learning” became a buzzword, Lina was designing classrooms where curiosity mattered more than compliance. But behind her public success was a private collapse. In 2006, her marriage ended, and soon after, her franchise partnership dissolved. She turned inward, studying with Brandon Bays, attending Anthony Robbins’ seminars, and discovering a truth that would redefine her life: From pain can come purpose.
This belief became Dreamtime Learning: a living, breathing education model rooted in neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and consciousness. After interviewing 100+ global thought leaders, she built a framework centred on adaptability, and child-led learning. Today, through Dreamtime Learning, her philosophy reaches students and parents who share her belief: that the future of learning lies not in control, but in consciousness.
As Lina once said after a conversation with Ikigai author Héctor García,
“Yes, I’ve found my ikigai. And my purpose is to help children find theirs.”
