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.

A Day of Words, Wonder, and Welcome!

Shikshantar Hosts the Albert Barrow Memorial Creative Writing Event, 2026

On Monday, 13th July 2026, Shikshantar once again welcomed young writers from across the region for the Albert Barrow Memorial All India Inter School Creative Writing Event (both Category I and Category II), held under the aegis of CISCE, Kolkata. Shikshantar was once again given the opportunity to hold space for words, excitement, and the quiet courage it takes to put one's thoughts on paper.

11 children participated collectively across Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and the Delhi-NCR region in both categories.The topic was announced nationwide at 9:30 a.m., and something had already shifted in the air—the kind of stillness that comes right before young minds begin to wander inward.

A supervisor carefully guided every step, from reading the rules to the final sealing of scripts, ensuring that even amid the freedom of expression, every protocol was honoured with utmost care.

But what stayed with everyone, however, was not just the writing—it was the warmth that surrounded the event.Visiting students and accompanying facilitators experienced Shikshantar as an unhurried, welcoming, and comfortable space where participation felt natural and encouraged. More than anything, it is this feeling that we hope young writers carried home with them—the sense that, for a few hours, an unfamiliar place felt a little like their own.

As we now look forward to hosting Category II of the Frank Anthony Memorial All India Debate, we carry with us the same gentle spirit that guides our spaces. It is our belief that when young voices are given room to think aloud, they learn to speak with both courage and care.
