Integral Educational
Holistic
Integral education aims to address the physical, emotional and mental aspects of the individual and help a child to understand her/himself from within. It focuses on developing key faculties (abilities and talents) so that a child grows up with not just information and training, but becomes a total individual who goes into a life long journey of evolution and growth. The focus and emphasis shifts in this type of education from information acquisition to self development in its essence.
Powers of the mind
Integral education focuses on development of the faculties and development of qualities which form the back-bone of all meaningful learning. Language, music, arts, crafts, dance, theatre, scientific exploration, games and sports are a part of the curriculum. The ‘learning by rote’ method is replaced by interesting activities and absorbing projects that greatly stimulate the interest of the child and evoke deeper response from him.
Friendly atmosphere
The emotional development of students is made possible because of the non-threatening and friendly atmosphere, wherein a child learns to cultivate self-discipline while being sensitive to the needs of others. A joyous involvement of the child in an atmosphere of freedom and support, brings out the best in him. There is an encouragement on the progress of the child at his or her own pace, without constant comparison or competition. A sense of introspection and self-reflection is inculcated, that helps the child to understand values at a deeper level. Further the serene environment help the child to become calm and centered. The child grows with trees, flowers, friends and fun. This creates a space of joy and ease in the heart of the child leading to true emotional development.
Individual importance
An individualised approach is adopted for children in order to bring out their full potential. Children may have some elements or exercises tailored specifically for their unique talents and needs. It could take the form of extra challenges, special creative exercises, extra or different classes and programmes suited to needs and talents of the individual child. This naturally implies a small number of students in a group to facilitate individual attention (20 per group).
