our programmes

Our Programmes are guided by the vision of NEP-2020 and CBSE’s robust framework, in alignment with the 5+3+3+4 structure, covering ages 3-18 years.

The Vedanya School offers a unique educational experience that nurtures children from early childhood through the pivotal adolescent years.

From our youngest learners, who flourish in a nurturing and inclusive community, to our adolescents, who develop authentic confidence and leadership skills, every child at TVS thrives in a consistent and supportive educational environment. This continuity ensures that each child experience their growth year after year, fostering resourceful and confident "big thinkers" who are well-prepared for their educational journey beyond our school.

Primary Programme (Pre-Foundation – Grade 5)

A programme of exploration and discovery

Preserving Childhood, Cultivating Confidence

The primary years are pivotal in a child’s educational journey—formative years that shape lasting impressions and attitude towards learning.

Our program is designed to ensure a gentle and seamless transition from home to school by creating a warm, homelike classroom environment starting from our youngest learners. We recognise that the care, love and intention expressed through the environment are imbibed unconsciously by children and they begin to learn through imitation from the world around them. Through active play and collaborative interactions with teachers and peers, they build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and growth.

It is an integrated learning programme of exploration and discovery, where we aim to preserve the childhood and cultivate confidence amongst children by creating a warm, homelike classroom environment starting from our pre-schoolers or playgroup children.

The House System is introduced from Grade 2 onwards, fostering a sense of community, teamwork, and healthy competition among students. It encourages collaboration, builds school spirit, and provides opportunities for leadership and camaraderie, shaping well-rounded individuals.

Our empowered Teachers are committed to continuous self-growth, shaping the learning environment with their values, ethics, and culture, serving as role models for young minds. With a deep sense of care and warmth, our educators create a secure and nurturing space, embracing every child and supporting their holistic development during these formative years.

Children flourish in a rhythmical environment where events unfold predictably, providing them with a sense of security and fostering meaningful connections with self and the world. This dependable, thoughtfully tailored setting supports the development of new physical and social skills, nurturing their growth and exploration.

Middle Programme (Grade 6 -Grade 8)

A programme of Choices: 

Empowering Learners for the Future

We believe that education is not confined to textbooks but thrives in experiences. Our Middle Programme creates thinkers, problem-solvers, and compassionate contributors through Project based Learning and Service, enabling Children to see the interdisciplinary connections and apply knowledge to real-world scenarios.

Through in-depth investigations around a central, interdisciplinary big idea from the Natural and Social Sciences, students engage with their community, real-world projects, and acts of service, empowering children to think about problems- social, cultural, technological or ecological, in a systemic manner and become an agent of societal change.

It also encourages students to observe from multiple perspectives, empowering them to become thoughtful, resourceful, and empathetic learners ready to thrive in a dynamic world.

In Grades 6 to 8, the seeds of academic thoroughness begin to germinate through comprehensive Main Lessons and subject learning. The curriculum continues to broaden and deepen the knowledge and skills introduced in the lower grades. Technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the curriculum.

Team sports are introduced, fostering advanced skills, participation, effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship while promoting self-improvement.

Senior Programme

What the human being sees, what is poured into his environment, becomes a force in him. In accordance with it, he forms himself.”

~Rudolf Steiner

In our Senior Program, education is a harmonious blend of cognitive and emotional growth, complemented by physical activity where each subject interweaves academic work with fine and practical arts. This multidimensional learning experience inspires students to embrace education and grow as lifelong learners.

Outbounds, internships, and real-life community projects in the Senior years weave a strong sense of community within each class, extending connections across the school and beyond. These experiences foster collaboration, real-world engagement, and a shared sense of purpose.

a gap programme

Our innovative ‘Gap Year Program’ offers students a transformative experience after Grade 8. This unique initiative bridges academic milestones and future aspirations, empowering students to explore a dynamic blend of opportunities beyond traditional classrooms.

Through hands-on internships across diverse industries, students acquire real-world skills, gain invaluable insights, and foster a deeper understanding of their passions. Personalized Individual Education Plans (IEPs) guide each learner, tailoring their journey to their strengths and aspirations.

With curiosity and ambition as cornerstones, this program inspires students to embrace their potential and prepare for a future of purpose and possibility.

Curriculum Focus

the flow at vedanya

“Come to me as the rivers to the sea,

As the days and nights to the completion of their annual cycle.

Let our taking and imparting truth be full of the radiance of light.

Let us never come into conflict with one another.

Let our minds speed towards their supreme good.”

 

– excerpt from Rabindranath Tagore’s Shantiniketan

Individualised Progress review

Our Individualized Progress Review is an odyssey of exploration, a quest to uncover the essence of your child's being and embrace him for who he has come to be. Individualised Progress Review (for students in the Grades) contains three parts:

A Curriculum Overview; a Narrative; and Rubrics Curriculum Overviews, written by the class teacher and specialty teachers, outline the content of the subjects.

The Narrative Report, written by the class teacher, strives to give a complete and accurate description of the child personally, academically, and socially. The Student Description includes work habits, ability to listen and contribute, oral and written work, and rhythmic work. It may also describe highlights of the student’s year, areas of challenge, and artistic work. The Social Description includes the student in relationship to adults and to peers.

The rubrics give a succinct picture of the child's work in language arts, mathematics, and for the upper grades - all specialty subjects. Rubrics have an area for comments by class and specialty teachers.
