Educational Philosophy
Swami Vivekananda said "Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man". However, we see that many young people who go through or come out of the educational process feel imperfect, unfulfilled and less confident. The "rasa" in education seems to be lacking. Children of today long for a vibrant, rigorous and fulfilling environment where they are able to realise their full potential and be of service to the society. With a standardized approach to education, the student finds it difficult to discover their "Swadharma" i.e what they are meant to do in life and their larger role in the society.
In order to create students who are curious about the universe, rooted in the self, societally conscious, deeply interested in acquiring knowledge and ecologically sensitive, creating a joyous and holistic educational environment becomes important.
SVA-Dharma School, which is a day scholar Gurukulam, is designed with the holistic physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual development of students in mind. Focusing on Indian sciences, the Gurukulam aims at reviving Indian knowledge: para and apara vidya (scientific and spirtual) and creating a thirst for local knowledge and traditions. Students of SVA-Dharma school will be rooted in Indian sciences and values and can interact seamlessly on global platforms.

Evaluation of the child
Our Sadvidya Curriculum focuses on the Panchakosha development. Development of all aspects of the individual ensures that the individual leads a life of fulfillment and satisfaction. This also ensures that the child develops to be a healthy and happy individual at all levels. This can also serve as a framework for evaluating the growth in the children. The growth in the child can be observed by the shifts in the Panchakosha. This is the Report card that children get which is holistic.
