Self-learning is at the centre of Ahmedabad International Schools philosophy of education
A fine example of technological integration within education, Ahmedabad International School (AIS) blends a modern outlook with ancient Indian philosophy to inspire young minds to explore - swayam or by self. With its skilled educators and varied facilities, the school focusses on imparting internationalism rooted in strong Indian values.
The philosophy of swayam runs through all the education programmes offered at this student-centric school. “Our teachers are facilitators, they help a child progress by self-motivated learning,” explains Principal Dr. Anjali Sharma, who believes self-motivated learning brings about the process of life-long learning.
This focus on the self-aligns well with a school that sits in the vicinity of the Sabarmati Ashram, from where Mahatma Gandhi mobilised the country to come together during the freedom struggle. “The Sabarmati Ashram is an integral part of the city and important to all of us,” says Dr. Sharma. The school organises regular visits to the ashram so that the students and teachers can be inspired to collaborate and serve the society better.
Trained on tradition
Tradition runs even deeper on the campus. The school has integrated the rich history of Ahmedabad, now a UNESCO World Heritage City, with the curriculum. Children are often taken on heritage walks to know more about all the important sites. “The students are enamoured by the engineering marvels that are the famous step-wells in the city,” shares the Principal. This interest in the city’s heritage also extends to its ‘jaalis’, the unique carvings on windows found in various monuments.
