About the Program

The field Academy

Learning Beyond Walls. Classrooms in Nature.

The Field Academy brings learning into Nepal's landscapes, communities, and living cultures. Mountain Mandala works with schools, colleges, and universities to create outdoor and experiential learning programs that connect classroom knowledge with real-life experiences.

Through field studies, outdoor camps, community visits, and hands-on activities, students explore nature, local livelihoods, cultural heritage, and indigenous knowledge.

What We Offer

Summer & Winter Outdoor School

Seasonal outdoor programs where students learn through nature exploration, field activities, cultural exchange, and shared experiences.

Field Exposure Management

Planning and coordination of educational field visits and study programs, from selecting locations and designing activities to arranging logistics and local resource persons.

Curriculum & Program Development

Developing learning modules and field programs that complement classroom teaching, covering subjects such as biodiversity, climate change, cultural heritage, livelihoods, and sustainable development.

Customized Learning Programs

Tailored educational experiences shaped around each institution's subjects, students, schedules, and learning objectives, from short visits to multi-day field studies and residential camps.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

Nepal's landscapes, cultures, and ways of life offer valuable opportunities to connect classroom learning with the world around us. From exploring forests and farms to learning from local people and traditional practices, students gain new perspectives through observation, participation, discussion, and reflection.

We believe learning is a shared experience. Local communities are partners and knowledge holders whose experiences enrich the learning journey.

From Preparation to Reflection

We support learning before, during, and after the field experience.

 Before: Prepare students and establish learning objectives.

 During: Explore, observe, participate, and exchange knowledge.

 After: Reflection, document findings, and learning sharing.

Each program is adapted to the needs of the institution and its students.
