We want to build a unique, a non-profit school in Tajikistan for children from middle and poor class families.
Dear Friends, assume that you were given $ 1 million USD. You are requested to build an unusual school with this money where children could study from 1st to 11th forms. You are given the freedom of imagination, starting from the development of education and ending with the building design and classrooms at this school.
We want to build a unique, a non-profit school in Tajikistan for children from middle and poor class families. So, we intensely would like to consider your recommendations.
Your advices are highly preffered!

First and foremost when it comes to developing an education plan I would say do not underestimate the intelligence of youth. I do not t see why subjects like physics, philosophy, literature, and other more advanced classes could not be taught at lower levels; get kids to critically thinking while they are younger and engage them in meaningful discussion. Knowledge and World problems are growing larger and more complex every day; therefore education needs to stay competitive.
Now for the expensive part, imagine mixing in design elements from across cultures, and doing away with standard four, mono-color, walls. Imagine different wings of a building based in various styles of design, or even a “green wing" that is self-sustaining and demonstrates uses of numerous alternative energy sources. Perhaps you could even use abstract shapes and styles to stray away from the usual and mundane.
Either way, what is learned is more important than what is seen. Good luck with your endeavors.
