Directors Message
“It's important for the teacher to talk less and let the students work more.”
Allan AndersEn — Director
The two essential questions that every human being can ask are: “Why am I here?” and “What can I do to pursue the aspiration that lies in the answer to the question?”
Asking these questions and answering them, is, of course, a personal matter. If a school wants to be relevant for children and young people of today, it must create an environment that stimulates the learners to find and pursue their passion. It must support them in developing the personal competencies that are needed.
Chaman Bhartiya is a school that focuses on nurturing the passion in every learner so that they can become a leader in their area of passion. We create a positive environment for the development of the personal and social qualities as well as skills and competencies that are crucial to be a person, a citizen and an employable person in the world of today.
We live in a rapidly changing and uncertain world. Many children and young people don’t thrive today and schools do not support them. They are not equipped with the personal and social qualities, and the competencies that are needed to be happy. More than ever, it is crucial that a school helps the learners to live and thrive and have a positive impact.
The school can only do so with a holistic approach to education. Chaman Bhartiya focuses on leadership as a concept for developing generations that can thrive in the contemporary world and that have the ambition to take on a leading role in changing the world for the better.
We believe that the school should be relevant for the learner here and now. Life does not start when school is over. We want to substitute the content and test focused school, with a school for life. We want to create a school that is relevant for the learner here and now and prepares them for the challenges of the future.
