BODH
Year 8-10 / Grade III-Grade V

As the students grow, they get to “know and eventually acknowledge” which is what Bodh signifies. The learners understand themselves with respect to their capabilities, strengths, and areas of improvement, such an understanding further aids the process of a well-rounded education. This is to help learners understand what is taught, how it is taught, and how it can be applied to the world at large.

At Ahaan-Ankuran the learner perceives, thinks, and gains an understanding of the outer world based on the experiences of the people in family and surroundings. Progressing from Ahaan-Ankuran, now at Bodh, the learner continues the discovery charged with an increasing sense of acknowledgment of abilities. Bodh at our school is the learning space for years 8-10. Bodh stands for the learners’ rousing spirit of self-ability and awareness. Brimming with confidence, the students’ progress during this stage from Learning to Learn to Learning to Know. It’s a stage where a child steps into a formal education set up for the first time and starts developing an independent perception about the world around oneself. A child develops the Bodh/awareness about his/her social identity. In other words, the conditioning of the logical mind starts in a planned way. Since we focus on holistic learning; it’s not restricted to just literacy, numeracy, and digital competencies; it’s a continuous process of inculcating the necessary skills needed to live a happy and healthy life.
