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.

G2G: Compost Workshop by the Environment Committee

The Environment Committee held a compost making workshop for Class IX on as a part of their Garbage to Garden (G2G) initiative on 9 th May 2024.

The objective of the G2G initiative is to make students aware of the waste generated at their households and in school. The initiative started with Trash Talk 101, a presentation for Class IX, about the G2G workshop and introducing to them the Environment Committee. We also had a discussion about the waste generated in India andwaysthatwe can combat it asindividuals. From the discussion we arrived at the most efficient way for redirecting waste from landfills- composting! We went over what compost actually is, its benefits and the process of making it.

On the day of the workshop, two groups at a time, we made compost. It was a fun-filled and educational workshop. People fell, some had dirt all over them, and others threw waste paper confetti all around, but in the end, we had two huge pots and one bucket full of compost. We thought only a few students would actually work but everyone participated wholeheartedly.

This was one of the many workshops as part of the G2G initiative and we cannot wait to organise more such workshops.
