Educational Project and Values

The teaching at the School is inspired by the humanistic philosophy that the founders have themselves received in their education. It provides a setting that fosters the “global” development of a person. The content of this education is intellectual, physical, artistic (or creative), moral (values of initiative, solidarity, responsibility, self-confidence, self-respect, and respect for others) and social (citizenship, order and discipline, sharing, and ecology).

Vellai Thamarai School is recognised by the Indian Government. The School teaches the Tamil Nadu State curriculum in English. Along with the official agenda, children thrive in 4 complementary areas:

• language: Hindi, Tamil and French are taught from kindergarten,
• physical education: both sport and play,
• harmony: dance, music, asanas (yoga postures),
• creativity: theatre, crafts and other creative work.

The founders’ educational principle is “learn while you play, and play while you learn.” The key is the children’s happiness of learning.
