About us
Built to remove every reason a child stays out of school.
Global Advance Educational Welfare and Charitable Trust was registered on 11 July 2024 in Birasthali, Chanchal, Malda. It runs Global Advance Academy — and the work started well before the paperwork did.
How it started
Going house to house first
Long before there was a building, there were conversations — in courtyards and at doorsteps, with families who wanted their children educated and had no realistic way to do it.
The trust was formed to remove those obstacles rather than argue about them, and the academy opened in 2024 on land in Birasthali.
Where it stands today
Nursery to Standard IV, in English
Global Advance Academy follows the CBSE curriculum with experienced, qualified teachers. Classrooms are air-conditioned, lunch is served daily, and personality development runs alongside the syllabus.

Vision, mission and objects
Vision
To give children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds the same educational opportunities as more privileged students, and to equip them with the knowledge, skills and values to reach their full potential academically, socially and professionally.
Our vision includes the whole child — physical, emotional and social wellbeing, not only marks — and a community that gains educated, capable citizens as a result.
Mission
To provide access to quality education for children who are economically disadvantaged, marginalised, or kept out of school by other barriers; to promote equity so that background does not decide outcome; and to deliver a curriculum that meets recognised standards.
We work for lasting impact: measuring results, improving what we teach, and partnering with government bodies, non-profits, companies and volunteers.
Objects
Make education accessible to children from poor and marginalised families. Give equal opportunity regardless of income, gender, ethnicity or religion. Teach to a standard that prepares students for further education and work.
Support students with disabilities or special needs. Engage families and the community. Monitor outcomes honestly, manage funds soundly, and build partnerships that keep the school running.
A classroom is the cheapest thing you can give a child.
Every rupee goes into books, uniforms, meals and teachers at Global Advance Academy. Give once, give monthly, or give your time.
