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.

How Waste and Watts came to life!

The Environment Committee is constantly working towards finding ways to engage our student community in meaningful ways towards environment-friendly and sustainable ways of living. Think. Switch. Save. and SegreBin are the newest initiatives of the committee, born after a lot of brainstorming sessions and discussions within the Environment Committee.

The committee members, students of Class XI, wanted to find practical ways to make our school more sustainable, not just in theory but through small, visible actions that everyone could be part of. After several meetings and a lot of data collection in collaboration with the admin team, the student volunteers realized how much electricity could be saved every day if the lights and fans were not left running unnecessarily. That’s when Think. Switch. Save. took shape, an initiative to build energy consciousness by encouraging mindful electricity use, turning off unused appliances and tracking energy wastage.

The committee members also observed that a significant amount of paper waste accumulated every week, much of it still reusable. This led to the creation of SegreBin, an initiative aimed at reducing paper wastage. Large cardboard boxes have been placed at strategic points around the school to collect clean scrap paper, such as old worksheets and rough notes. The collected paper will later be sent to organizations for recycling and optimal use.

To ensure wider participation, the committee also conducted presentations to engage and inspire their juniors to join the effort. Together, these initiatives reflect our student-led efforts to create awareness, take responsibility, and move towards a more mindful and sustainable school environment.
