Self-study means

A path through education where the student guides themselves gaining knowledge at their own interest and their own pace. Self-study does not keep a person confined to books; it moves them to ask questions, to search, and to learn new things with confidence. This way makes education deeper, more meaningful and more self-reliant.

What the child becomes able to do

  • The child studies by themselves

    They will feel free in their learning.

  • They come to think originally

    They will learn to think from a new angle.

  • They come to write naturally

    They will express their thoughts in clear words.

  • They untangle a puzzle

    They will develop the skill of solving problems.

What is taught at school in the name of teaching and learning overlooks an important dimension of new information and knowledge.

How we support the child

  • Where the child does not follow, a teacher helps

    Guidance comes where it is needed, and learning becomes easy.

  • The child's independent understanding develops

    The child learns to think for themselves and builds their own knowledge.

  • For that, no pressure and no force

    An experience of learning without fear or pressure.

  • For that, no rote learning

    Knowledge grows with real understanding, not recitation.

  • For that, no merely mechanical writing

    Not writing alone, but an education with creativity in it.

That the child's understanding grows that is our one and only aim.

In our school

  • There is no classroom teaching, there is group learning

    Children learn with one another, think together and grow together.

  • Teaching is not based on textbooks alone

    Knowledge comes from experience, tied to life itself.

  • The syllabus is taught by many methods

    Story, dialogue, experiment and activity make learning come alive.

  • There is no examination system

    The weight falls on understanding and experience, not on marks.

  • Assessment is holistic, and so is the result

    Each child's progress is measured by their all-round development.
