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.

ITIHAAS Summit 2025

ITIHAAS recently marked its 20th year in heritage education with the 16th Annual Summit, "Learning Spaces", on January 30, 2025. Two of our students had the privilege of sharing their experiences as speakers at the summit. Weaving fun facts and stories into the experience, they recounted their adventure on their first outstation trip to Gwalior organised by ITIHAAS, where they explored historical landmarks like Jai Vilas Palace, Rani Lakshmibai's Memorial, Moti Mahal, Gwalior Fort, Tansen's Maqbara, and Saroj Ghar. What made this trip truly unforgettable was Itihaas's innovative approach, weaving fun facts and stories into the experience.

The Chairperson and Director education, Minoti Didi also spoke at the summit, providing valuable insight into our philosophy of experiential learning in spaces beyond the classroom walls. Among other notable speakers was Sonam Wangchuk, founder and director of the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives.

This enriching experience not only broadened our students' perspectives but also instilled in them a deeper appreciation for India's rich cultural heritage.
