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.

Rainy days at Shikshantar

Rainy days at Shikshantar are a joyful experience for the children after the hot summer months.

As the raindrops pitter - patter and a curtain of grey clouds cover the sky, the journey to school can be an adventure - jumping in puddles and looking for earthworms and frogs on the way to their groups.

They explore the experience of feeling the rain on themselves, watching raindrops create interesting patterns. Art with water as a medium comes with its own surprise for the children - creating abstract and imaginary patterns and figures with ‘water and water colours’.

Children thoroughly enjoy and connect with the changed atmosphere. The air is cooler and carries the earthy scent of the rain soaked soil. The experience would be incomplete without enjoying the flavour of corn cobs after a refreshing soak in the monsoon showers.

The older children enjoy rain exploring the pleasure of playing a high energy sport like cricket refining their skills of bowling and catching dripping not with ‘sweat’ but with ‘rain drops’.
