About the Founder

Kavita Saraf, our Founder & Head of School, is a lifelong educator with over three decades of experience and a philosophy rooted in the belief that every child is born with immense potential.

Kavita Saraf

“I started aLphabet out of a deep belief that young minds are capable of far more than what the traditional school system allows. Too often, education has focused on rote learning and memorization, causing students to hold back from developing critical thinking and true independence. I wanted to build a place where students are inspired, not just taught. My vision was for a school where curiosity is celebrated, every child learns to take charge of their education, and they are prepared for life - not just for exams. aLphabet exists to help each student discover their potential and grow into an individual who can think for themselves, act with responsibility, and make a real difference in the world.”
