Less spoon feeding, more thinking.
We see a world where every
child learns by thinking.

The problem that must be solved
Children are natural thinkers. They are curious and ask many questions.
And then they get busy learning definitions and formulae. They are rewarded with marks and grades if they remember the information provided by the teacher or the book.
What a fabulous system of making extraordinary thinkers into ordinary thinkers!
The solution
Open Door is saying that enough is enough. That's why we have designed programs with beautiful questions at their core. Open Door offers two programs for schools—Thinking Assessments and Thinking Classroom—and has launched two new programs: a Critical Thinking Program to develop critical thinking skills in students and a Subject Mastery Program for teachers."
Our story
so far
Open Door began in 2013. The founders realized early on that the school system focused on exams and marks but had limitations in providing in-depth mastery of a concept. In other words, children were scoring marks but the learning was pointless because no one was really understanding a concept.
We kept the name of the initiative ‘Open Door’ because we wanted to make children think and question.
Milestones
1. Critical Thinking Program
2. Subject Mastery Program
We are a team
of thinkers
Open Door programs are designed by a team of young graduates from some of the finest universities - such as the IITs and NITs - in India. The team is a group of thinkers who live and breathe science and math. When they look around themselves, they do not see a table, a wall or a book. They see science and math.
Over the last 12 years, Open Door team has been working to increase the thinking in many classrooms. The questions designed by the team are currently making 300000+ students think more than before.
Listen to the Thinking Classroom song: A catchy tune that showcases a teacher's quest to create a Thinking Classroom.
The questions on your mind.
Open Door started in 2013. Today, we offer programs like Thinking Assessments, Thinking Classroom, the Subject Mastery Program for teachers, and a Critical Thinking Program for students.
We imagine a world where every child learns by thinking—not by memorizing. Our programs have "beautiful questions" to make children think and question, helping them build lifelong understanding of Science and Math.
A team of young graduates from top Indian universities (like IITs and NITs) designs the questions. These questions are making 300000+ students think more than before.
Open Door offers 4 main educational programs:
Thinking Assessments
For Classes 3–10: Topic-based tests with thought-provoking questions to build lifelong Science/Math understanding.
Thinking Classroom
For Classes 4–10: CBSE-aligned workbooks that replace traditional teaching with real-world questions.
Critical Thinking Program
For Classes 6–8: Developed with IIT Gandhinagar to help teachers guide students' critical thinking.
Subject Mastery Program
For Teachers: Helps Science/Math teachers master their subjects through assessment and improvement.
These are topic-wise assessments for classes 3–10. In therse assessments there are thought-provoking questions to help students deeply understand Science and Math.
For classes 4–10, it provides CBSE-mapped workbooks that replace boring lectures. Students tackle real-world questions like "Can you design Virat Kohli’s diet?" or "Would we hear ourselves if we shouted on the Moon?"
This program is designed with IIT Gandhinagar for classes 6–8. Its purpose is to help teachers guide students to think critically during regular school hours.
This program helps Science/Math teachers master their subjects. It allows schools to assess teachers’ knowledge and improve it in just 4 months.
