OUR PHILOSOPHY
Every child is unique. It is a well-known fact that no two thumbprints are
alike. In the same way, we believe that every child is born unique. Each child
has a unique brain network that shapes how she absorbs and responds to
stimuli. One way of teaching does not work for every child. We need to teach
the way they learn, not force them to learn the way we teach. Education
should foster real understanding: Understanding is different from
acquiring information. Mere acquisition of information relies on memory,
understanding relies on conceptual clarity. Schools are not assembly lines of
syllabus and exams. We help children make meaning of life and develop the
muscle to lead life effectively. For this, we go beyond academics to include life
skills, values and habits. Real understanding comes from an integrated
approach: We have a vision of the child we aim to graduate and everything in
our schools is designed around that vision. Building design, pedagogy,
teachers, curriculum content, activities and examinations – all are integrated
to achieve this vision. A school is an eco-system where different factors have
an effect on the child. Teachers, curriculum, assessments, environment,
infrastructure, activities all come together to nurture the unique potential of
the child.
