Best School in Gurgaon, Shikshantar School

Open and inclusive spaces that reflect openness to learning.

Enduring respect for children as thinkers and explorers.

Structures and processes ‘led’ by children, experiential education, collaborative work and skilful feedback.

Choices with a purpose that define children as individuals far more than their abilities.

VISION/ PHILOSOPHY

We believe all beings inherently love to learn. Children learn by sharing their discoveries with each other, their teachers and parents.

The vision of the school is to create and nurture a learning community of students, teachers and parents – a community that believes in the possibility of progressive development of children and adults through change in education. Each child is recognised for her own strengths, creating an environment free of judgement and conformity.

It’s a place where ‘I can be me’; true for a facilitator as much as for a student! Our Vision is to enable each child to develop a character that engages with the world with self-worth and acceptance of the other.

Drawing inspiration from the philosophy of Integral Education integration of physical, mental, social, emotional and psychic self of children is emphasised. We believe that acceptance of the self and conflict resolution through dialogue opens pathways to peace.

In the school children and facilitators are both learners; together they discover and construct knowledge. Collaboration is not limited amongst humans; we believe in co-existence and learning to live with and from Nature.

We believe in the philosophy of inclusion and facilitate an inclusive environment for children with varying abilities and from different socio-economic backgrounds.

Bhoomi Pujan

The circle of Shikshantar continues to grow and expand with us and as we took the celebration forward to celebrate the 22nd Shikshantar birthday we realised that with growth comes our needs. Shikshantar has grown and with development has grown its need for more spaces in the Primary School building in the form of new classrooms.

On the occasion of 22nd Shikshantar birthday Sanjay Prakash Bhaiya facilitated circle time sessions with the children of Classes I–IV emphasising our collective growth and how Shikshantar has evolved with each of us. He shared plans for the new construction with the students and children were excited at the idea of their Involvement in certain construction processes and experiences as part of their curricular experiences.

Sanjay Bhaiya also responded to children's questions and suggestions and warmly acknowledged their ardent wishes for a curved slide and a new Vanar Vatika.

Bhoomi Pujan was held on Wednesday, 18th September 2024. Our Class IV children were an integral part of this ceremony to create positive energy for the new classrooms coming up. Pandit ji while conducting the ‘Pujan’ shared its significance with the children and how unknowingly, in the process of construction, we may cause harm to living beings under the earth - insects, animals, plants. ‘Bhoomi Pujan’ is our little way of asking Mother Nature for forgiveness and protection of life under the earth.

The children’s involvement and rain showers as blessings of the rain Gods, along with the complete presence of the five elements, made it a truly special day.
