“WISDOM IS of multiple dimensions and so are the facets to the human personality,” opined Career Launcher Education Foundation (CLEF) project manager, Indore, Deepak Pillai.
He was addressing a press conference to announce the opening of the Indus World School under the auspices of the talent promotion programme ‘ignited minds’ run by CLEF with a programme by classical music maestro Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasiya at Sayaji Hotel on the evening of January 8. The first set of schools- ‘Ananda play school’ would become operational from the academic session of 2006-07.
Pillai said that the school here was the second to become operational in the country after the first facility came up at Hyderabad as these places were found to be educational hubs of their region. The schools were set up to give concrete form to the core purpose of CLEF ‘to enable every child to realise their potential and make their dreams come true’.
The school believed that there were infinite ways of learning, parenting and imparting education igniting the spirit of inquiry.
The junior wing ‘Ananda’ located at Sainkripa Colony in front of Bombay Hospital would house classes from LKG to IV, while the senior wing would be opened on the bypass road by the beginning of the next academic session.
The school would operate under the three wings of ‘arts, sports and academia’. Focussing on the area of the child’s interest, it provides a platform to interact with and learn from the best mentors in the country.
The teachers would be selected from the best in the country and constant enrichment programmes would be conducted including training from faculties from abroad. Making career choices clear from the beginning a student would be apprised right from standard-IX of the various fields he could go into for choosing his livelihood.
The key educational practices adopted by the school includes no tuitions, interviews or entrance exams, providing knowledge beyond curriculum, mutual respect, plurality, increasing self-esteem and proper functioning of the body and mind.
The school adopted the word ‘world’ for it plans to open 25 such centres across the globe in the coming five years. As of now the school has its presence in South and Middle Asia.
The advisory council of the school would include Krishnamurti Foundation trustee and Indian National Science Academy member Dr Krishna from the City. The other prominent personality on this Board would include former national director of the Army Schools, Colonel K K Mowar.
