Arsha Vidya Mandir endeavors to ensure that all those passing through its portals, as citizens of India, strive to make real the world of Tagore’s dream:
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depths of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by ever widening thought of action; Into that heaven of freedom’ their children will awake. (Abstracted and modified from Gitanjali)
Arsha Vidya Mandir is a co-educational school affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education offering education from the Pre-Primary classes up to the Higher Secondary Level classes. The school offers programs for children starting from ages 3½ years to 17 years. Arsha Vidya Mandir strives to offer academic excellence in both the Sciences and the Humanities. The school attempts to achieve this by offering an academic curriculum and an environment which offers a balance in English and Languages, Mathematics, Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities and the Arts and Performing Arts.
The school adopts the basic curricular outlines for the English & Languages, Sciences, Mathematics and Social Sciences from the NCERT and augments the curriculum with programs in English Literature and the Arts and Performing Arts from the University of Cambridge Programs. These programs are conventionally categorised as co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in the National curriculum.
The school takes pride to ensure that learning is not just bound to excelling in examinations but to take that extra step to ensure that learning is a life-long endeavour. The school strongly believes in nurturing critical thinking skills, the capacity to question, research information, analyse information and even synthesise new perspectives. This practice has been possible only by moving away from a passive learning environment to a Constructivist method of teaching and learning. To achieve this sentiment it means the school believes in transparency, clear communication of expectations, collaboration and respecting the needs of all students placed in its care.
