In memory of A Prasada Rao
Aim. Pursue. Rise.
APR Academy is a voluntary teaching initiative for rural students in South India — named after a father whose initials became a mission.
What APR Stands For
Founded in honour of A Prasada Rao, APR Academy carries his initials as a promise to every student we serve.

Knowledge is the bridge between a dream and its destination. Our foundational courses give students the tools to walk that bridge with confidence.
Rise
We believe in the limitless potential of every child from every village. Our mission is to help them rise — on their own terms.
