More and more people are realising the need to move away from a competitive, mark based approach which largely relies on rote learning, creates unnecessary stress and anxiety and also dumbs down the students. The student is stripped of all sense of dignity, with virtually no space to think things out for herself. Many parents are grateful to Shishukunj for creating an alternate space, where children learn without any sense of fear and have the opportunity to explore questions with affectionate educators who can help them discover their true vocation, and lay the foundations for a real inquiry in their lives, where learning and living goes hand in hand. It is important for prospective parents to visit the school in person and understand the school’s philosophy before seeking admission. Most of our places in class one are taken up by our own students in the kindergarten with only a handful of places available for others. Admissions in higher classes are very rare.
