Arun Nursery School (ANS), run by the Shri Aurobindo Group. In ANS, the atmosphere and curriculum activity not only help toddlers to learn but also give them a proper base for their future as well.
2. IntroductiontotheStory
Arun Nursery School opened its doors on September 04, 1972, with The
Mother's Blessings. The pre-school owes its existence to the singular
effort of Shri Arun Tagore. Hence the Mother named the School after
Arun da.
The school which started with 3 children and an equal number of
teachers at Lakshmi's House opened a new campus in 2013 at 110,
Sandra Pally, Garia off Boral Main Road. Both campuses have identical
principles, objectives, and methodology.
Admissions happen mainly in Toddlers and nurseries. For KG and Senior
KG it is strictly against vacancies.
3. ThemeTeaching
Arun Nursery School has embraced the concept of 'Theme
Teaching'. Learning and social skills, as well as important concepts,
are developed in children through this approach.
It has been found that the children who have been exposed to this
method of teaching have developed greater self-confidence,
awareness, thinking skills and learning readiness.
This approach emphasises Concept over Content and helps the
child develop a holistic outlook towards life.
4. PhysicalEducation
Various kinds of Sporting activities and a daily exercise routine help
children integrate physical fitness and awareness into their very lives.
Drill displays on Darshan Days allow the children to show-case their
physical skills.
5. VitalEducation
Arun Nursery believes in avoiding an exclusive focus on text books and
encourages the child to experience the world at large.
Due importance is given to the development of the child's character,
sense of beauty, the power of observation and honing of sensory powers
to perfection.
6. SpiritualAmbience
The school itself is located within the premises of Lakshmi's House,
which houses Sri Aurobindo's Relics - a material assurance of Their
living Presence and Guidance. When the teachers and students walk
through the portals of 'The home of Grace', they breathe this very
presence and share with their souls the vibration of every atom in The
Home of Grace - a vibration of truth, consciousness, and love - a
vibration that awakens and intensifies aspiration into a one-pointed
flame seeking the Divine.
