Holistic Approach

The focus is on refining the overall personality of the child through physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual development.

Our school adopts the best concepts from Indian tradition and world renowned techniques to offer a progressive and holistic mode of education to the children. The ARV system is designed to include some important techniques evolved by Glenn Domain from Philadelphia, Dr. Maria Montessori, The Aurobindo School and SSY teachers from Rishi Samskruti Vidya Kendra (RSVK).

Emphasis is laid on imparting knowledge and awareness to the children through fun and play using various mediums like art, craft, dance, drama, music, story telling, field trips and computers. We follow an integral approach towards education where learning is a great pleasure. Here, every child is allowed to grow in unbounded freedom, play and creativity. Care is taken to ensure that the process of learning is a joyful experience for the children. For the successful realization of these objectives, we have our staff trained very regularly.

Learning the concepts through real life experiences like field trips is part of the education. Nothing is as good as learning through a live experience. Imagine the difference between talking about a tree and climbing a tree: talking about letters and actually taking the children to the post office: talking about animals but actually seeing, touching, feeling animals. This happens in field trips where children are taken out to the actual environments very regularly. Imagine the small child growing his/her vegetables in the school. Yes! Farming and gardening also form an integral part of education. This brings the child in tune with nature.
