We would gather in a circle to begin the day,
Lingering between stillness and the promise of oorja,
The back lawns and basketball court would constantly call-

We paused by the fish, and Aristurtle’s gentle presence,
While Marsh, Mellow, and Kaju Kishmish were companions to us all.
With didis and bhaiyas, in stories and questions,
We found ourselves on the slide, in Jigyasa, in the butterfly garden
Spaces that slowly became our own.
And the seeds of Shikshantar, deeply sown!

About Us (Our Roots)

Named Shikshantar (shiksha + antar), Shikshantar strives to create and nurture a learning culture with students, teachers and parents. This is the journey of true education and life. Learning at Shikshantar means recognizing the worth of one’s infinite senses and the development of a character that engages with the world with dignity and self-worth. Children and teachers together discover and construct new and old knowledge wherein the child and the adult are both learners.

Our Philosophy

The foundational beliefs that shape our approach

The Shikshantar philosophy is reflected in the meticulous attention to detail with everything -- from the vision of education and design of the school building to curriculum development, teacher development and classroom processes. The social and emotional well being of each child is considered the foundation of our work in education. We build a curriculum that draws upon children’s questions, observations and interpretations. Learning thrives when guided by love, trust, and thoughtful attention to both the learner and their environment. It begins with self-awareness and grows through meaningful connections with nature and society, embracing change and new possibilities along the way.

Our Journey

The evolution and growth through the years

In more than two decades of its journey, Shikshantar has significantly influenced how schools and families perceive children and their development. Families increasingly recognise that progressive education benefits children in the long term, not only nurturing their growth but also enabling excellence in board examinations. Parents see themselves as active partners in this journey, embracing their role as nurturers, while society’s understanding of children and their developmental needs continues to deepen. At the same time, inclusive practices in education have gained greater acceptance, reflecting a more compassionate and holistic approach to learning. Our alumni, spread far and wide across the world, are our greatest pride and a testament to the enduring impact of a thoughtful, progressive education.

Our Approach

How we nurture holistic development

Shikshantar's educational approach is child-centric, recognizing that each child has a unique learning style, interests, and pace of development.

Our curriculum integrates academic learning with arts, sports, life skills, and values education, providing a well-rounded educational experience that prepares students for life.
