Mother Miracle School

Mother Miracle School was founded in 2002 by Shahla Ettefagh, an American citizen from San Francisco with an M.A. in Sociology and Child Psychology. Formerly, she was the passionate owner of a successful interior art business in San Francisco. During a visit to India in 1995, Shahla was so moved by seeing children living in extreme poverty that she vowed
to come back to India to dedicate her life

to helping poor children and families, especially women. In 2002, she sold her house, business and personal belongings to move permanently to Rishikesh, India where she founded the Mother Miracle School. Since 2002, Mother Miracle School grew from 9 students to 600. Each exceptional student is carefully tested and selected from thousands of applicants. We provide the highest quality education and resources in a 51,000sf state-of-the-art school building.
