For nearly two weeks, schools across Kullu district have remained shut under the shadow of relentless rain, landslides and broken roads. But amid this turbulence, Cambridge International School, Kullu, has carved out a path of resilience — taking education online and ensuring that learning doesn’t wash away with the floods.

In a swift transition, the school launched virtual classrooms, prioritising both academic continuity and student well-being. Parents, initially anxious about the prolonged closure, now find solace in the school’s foresight.

“We were deeply worried about the loss of crucial study days, especially for board aspirants,” said Sanjeev, father of a Class 12 student. “Online classes have been a blessing. They’ve restored routine and kept our children motivated.”

The district’s weather woes — landslides, flash floods and damaged infrastructure —have isolated communities, making physical classrooms unreachable. In this backdrop, the school’s digital leap has become more than just an academic measure; it’s a safety net. Local activists, too, have welcomed the initiative, calling it a model for others.

“Online education is no longer optional — it’s a lifeline,” noted Abhishek, a social worker. “If private schools can adapt so quickly, government institutions must also embrace this model to protect our children’s education.”

Teachers, undeterred by the sudden shift, have quickly mastered interactive tools and digital platforms to keep lessons engaging. From quizzes to live discussions, the aim has been to preserve the human touch even in virtual corridors.

The management has assured parents that online classes will continue until travel becomes safe again.
