Dear Students and Parents,

With great pleasure AARUSHI Welcomes you and your child in to our family.  The world had already stepped into the 21st Century. Our thoughts and ideas were already impacted with the newness which comes with the start of a new millennium, a new era. Hence it will not be unfair to say that Indus is truly a newborn of the 21st Century, just as your child is.

Our core educational values are based on age old precepts of education, but have been moulded to meet the challenges of the years ahead. In our view, when our children grow up and enter into adulthood, they must be prepared to face life ahead of them. A lot of the choices we make in our schools’ policies and methods are shaped by the view we hold of the future ahead of us. Let me elaborate what some of these beliefs are:

1. The aim of life is to work joyfully and find happiness. The aim of education must be to impact not just the mind of the child but also the heart of the child. We have to therefore work on the entire personality of the child which includes knowledge and emotions. This is the Indus approach to holistic development.

2. Each child learns in his/her own way and style. We must be patient to allow the child to grasp knowledge in his/her own way. The child's natural curiosity has to be preserved and the child's self esteem has to be carefully nurtured and not harmed through excessive disciplining.

3. The 21st Century society and workplace is going be more democratic and less authoritarian, more flexible and more open. The children have to grow up to be self-directed, responsible and open minded citizens who will fit in well with the 21st Century workplace. The culture of our schools has to reflect these values.

4. The 21st Century is going to see the huge impact of the internet and hence the democratization of knowledge. Factual knowledge will be commonly available and is not going to be the difference between success and failure. We make them creative, innovative skilled and smart. The children have to be prepared for this new world and our teaching practices will deliver these skills and attitudes.

our core values. The core values of our organization are Risk Taking, Openness, Ownership, Honesty and Commitment to our customers and Innovation. We will remain true to these values. We will interact with teachers, parents and children in an open and authentic way and show great ownership for the tasks we take up. We will take risks and innovate. We will fail once in a while but we will never give up and will do so with complete honesty and commitment to our children.
