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.

Shabd Manch - Writer interactions - Class V & VI

Shikshantar’s 22nd birthday is round the corner. It is one of the many occasions when we connect with our community, reflect on our journey that brought us together in the first place. Each year, the reflection of our purpose is facilitated through a specific theme creating an immersive curricular experience.

We are delighted to introduce the theme as ‘Shabd Manch - A Festival of Letters’ this year which will be a literary experience including story narrations, book readings, poetry, author interactions and interactive sessions.

Aligning with the ongoing curricular experiences in the classrooms for Class V and VI , first in the series of storytellers /authors and illustrator was Fouzia Dastango - India's first female Dastango, a storyteller with ‘drama in reading’ .

She enthralled the students of Classes V and VI, exploring dramatised reading in the Hindi and Urdu language. She brought their attention and focus to listening through her animated style of narration by pausing at interesting moments in the story encouraging the children to complete the phrase in unison.

The children enjoyed participating in the Hindi narration of stories like "आपा की आपड़ी" and "ऊटपटांग" by Gulzar, “The Emperor's New Clothes”, "जुगनू भाई", "हाथी चल्लम चल्लम", "बिल्ली के रात दिन" and "पूँछ" by other authors. It ended with their ride through the waves of linguistic glory with "नानी की नाव".

Many more interactions and experiences with authors, storytellers, poets, illustrators, writers and puppeteers await our spaces !
