How do we teach at our school?

Co-curricular activity

Not merely a place to study, but a place to learn how to live

We do not teach children only what is in books experiences outside the school matter just as much. Through excursions, yoga, music, dance and cultural programmes, a child develops physically, mentally and emotionally.

  • Not just educational trips learning from nature

    A living medium for learning from the natural world.

  • Trekking an education in adventure

    An activity that builds patience and self-confidence.

  • Music and dance

    Room for expression and for creativity.

  • Yoga, meditation and sport

    Support for a healthy body and a quiet mind.

  • Cultural programmes with a purpose

    A connection to tradition, and confidence on a stage.

Games

Games are not merely running and jumping; they are how a child comes to know their own body, mind and sense of co-operation. Physical games build a healthy life for the body, while games of the mind develop attention, logic and quickness. Together they are as necessary to a child's whole development as food.

The methods we have adopted

For a child's all-round development we follow teaching methods chosen with care grounded in experience, and keeping the child at the centre.

  • Group method

    Taking part in a group, children learn co-operation, listening and understanding.

  • Choosing the subjects

    Subject matter is chosen from children's interests and their experience of life.

  • Teaching in the mother tongue

    Education in the child's own language, so understanding is easy and alive.

  • The absence of competition

    Learning in a calm, friendly atmosphere, without ego or pressure.

  • Teaching without classrooms

    No confining walls every corner of the school becomes a place of learning.

  • Celebrating the seasons

    Through the natural cycle and the sight of it, a child connects with their environment.

  • Eating together

    Eating together gives rise to fellow-feeling and to values free of division.

Here begins the true journey of childhood…

To learn while playing, to grow independently this is the real mark of our education. Today we are here; tomorrow we will come with new journeys still.
