A Holistic Education - Our Vision

This challenges us to depart from defined, traditional notions to create new and pioneering spaces for learning. Spaces where children are regarded as active learners and are invited to learn by exploring, experiencing and trying to understand both, the interactions between themselves and those with the world around them; where text books are never the only ways to learn, and educators are respected not for their authority, but for their ability to facilitate learning; where the learning environment is safe, healthy and creative, and learning opportunities varied and rich.

Educational research suggests that such pioneering spaces can only be created by linking together all the developmental influences in the life of the child – the home, the school and the world beyond. Since learning begins at home for the new born child and continues in the parks, markets, and fields of the community, an education provided within the isolated walls of a traditional school can never capture or make use of the rich learning opportunities offered by the child’s life-experience. Neither can it offer the security or well-being that the involvement of a parent, counsellor or health-expert may have brought about.

To achieve these in any meaningful manner it becomes imperative for us to transform our traditionally isolated school sites into warm, inviting community schools, where all members- the family, school and community can be brought together. Where everyone– parent, educator, student, nutritionist, health expert or counsellor, is invited to participate in creating a wonderful community...Welcome to the Nirmal Bhartia School
