A Hyderabad School Is Adding Skateboarding To Its Curriculum & Building Its Very Own Skatepark

The past few years have heralded a series of transformations for the Indian education system, which had largely remained unchanged and rigid for a significant period of time. With its horizons gradually expanding, this new change welcomes a shift in perspectives and brings Indian education as a whole into a space that is more inclusive of passions that pan across sports, arts, and academics.

In its a first of its kind transformation, a Hyderabad school has welcomed the idea of building its very skatepark to make skateboarding an active part of the physical education curriculum. Leading this change, one school at a time is Darius, the mind behind 100 Ramps, a Bengaluru-based skatepark design company that is making the sport accessible across Indian cities.

Hyderabad’s Shri Ram academy is currently witnessing the construction of its very first skatepark making it one of the first few mainstream schools in the country to accommodate skateboarding as part of its regular curriculum. This heralds a rather pivotal shift in India’s acceptance of the sport and will allow for the growth of a community that is still in its infancy in the country.
