Anaadi stands for
What Anaadi stands for
Four things every class, every assignment and every report at iGurukulam is built on.
The whole child
Pañcakośīya Vikās: five sheaths, from the body to the quiet joy within, grown together. Marks are one line of the picture, not the picture.
The sources, in the original
The ṛṣis read in their own words, with an acharya who stands in their line, at the level a child can take. Not a summary of a summary.
Earth as the textbook
Earth is the textbook and the sky is the clock. Five ways of learning every week: recitation, observation, storytelling, discussion and activity.
Assessing the knower
We assess the knower, not just the answer. Every piece of work is marked for the kind of thinking behind it, and nothing is held against a child for being young.
Granthalaya · What your child will study
A recognised board and the Indian Knowledge Systems, in one school day
CBSE or NIOS English, mathematics and science beside Bhāratīya Gaṇita, Saṃskṛtam, Āyurveda, the sky, the Itihāsas and the Purāṇas, taught the way the Anaadi Gurukulams have taught for ten years.
CBSE and NIOS
Nothing to sit for years: a child learns through the four levels, with records kept in the board's form, and goes on to the 10th and 12th examinations in time, on CBSE or on NIOS.
- Structured progression through the four levels
- Support up to the 10th and 12th examinations
- Taught in [LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION]; English a subject at every level
- Records maintained in the form the board requires
Indian Knowledge Systems
The sessions carry their own names: Bhāratīya Gaṇita, Bhāratīya Vijñāna, Nakṣatra Vidyā, Āyurveda, Saṃskṛtam, Itihāsa–Purāṇa, Darśana, Sangīta and Kalā, with Global skills (English, communication, computing) beside them. Taught as IKS-STEM: wider, deeper, older. Five ways of learning every week: recitation, observation, storytelling, discussion and activity. Earth is the textbook and the sky is the clock.
- Samskritam spoken, sung and read from the first year
- Yoga, music and craft as daily practice
- Stories, values and ways of reasoning from India's traditions
- Taught by teachers rooted in these traditions themselves
Four worries every family has
Your questions, answered honestly
The four things parents ask before anything else, answered the way we answer them on the phone.
"Will my child make friends?"
Yes. The same 20 classmates every day, a mentor circle of 10, a house to belong to, festivals kept together, and camps at our gurukulams. See a gurukulam community, not just a class.
"Do I have to teach?"
No. Live acharyas teach every session. You get a five-minute update every week, and the class teacher calls when something needs you.
"Too much screen?"
About four live hours. One-hour sessions with breaks between, then the rest of the day off the screen: practice from the book kit, play and movement, yoga.
"Can we go back to regular school?"
Yes. A child who leaves takes a learning record, a portfolio of their work and a transfer letter, so the next school knows exactly where they stand.
