Welcome to Virasat Vidyapeeth
Education: to see that when the child leaves the school, he is well-established in goodness, both outwardly and inwardly.
The intention of the school is to awaken the intelligence of the student so that he or she may ‘flower in goodness’. The cultivation of a global outlook and a concern for our fellow human beings are all part of this scheme of education.
Some further goals of the educational philosophy of Virasat Vidyapeeth Education Centre are:
- To educate students so that they are able to explore both the natural world and the world of feeling.
- To inculcate a love for nature and respect for all forms of life.
- To create an atmosphere of affection, order, and freedom without either fear or licence.
- Not to condition students in any particular belief either religious, political, or social, so that their minds may remain free to ask fundamental questions, enquire and learn.
Based on this philosophy, teachers attempt to create an atmosphere of freedom, care, and security in which students are helped to enlarge their horizons and grow.
The school is concerned with developing the individual talent and intelligence of each child. We feel that it is equally important for parents to be aware of their children’s talents as well as limitations, and allow them to develop in their own way, and not on the basis of predetermined expectations.
Our experience shows that not all children flourish in this system. In particular, those children who tend to be dependent and who need constant prodding do not adjust to the absence of pressure at the school.
