At Study Hall we believe that the goal of Education is to answer the fundamental question “Who am I and what is my relationship with the universe and others in it” This guides our pedagogy, curriculum, organizing structures and policies.

We believe that ‘Children are unique, powerful, important persons worthy of our respect. They have a right to enjoy their childhood, which is an important phase of their lives and deserves to be understood respectfully rather than treated simply as a preparation for adulthood.

Our aim is to ensure that our children emerge as secure individuals, with a strong feeling of connectedness to the universe and others in it. We help them develop a sound sense of selfworth and a healthy respect of their uniqueness as individuals, along with a sense of love for the universe and everyone in it.

We have worked at creating a friendly, secure, caring, warm, comforting, stimulating and collaborative learning environment in our classrooms, to enable our children to develop freely at their own pace, as they move together towards optimizing their own potential, along with that of their classmates, without the fear and humiliation of unfair comparisons with their friends. Our goal is to make the school a happy place and not a place where children feel alienated, bored, hurt, persecuted or threatened. We emphasize collaboration over competition in everything we do.

Study Hall has created a learning eco system where everyone- teachers, students and parents feel supported, cared for, related to each other and respected. We honour every individual and every voice so that care itself becomes a vehicle for empowerment.

We conceive of teaching as an extremely creative and complex process, one requiring much imagination, continuous thinking, caring and commitment. Our pedagogy, teaching practices, our curriculum, organizational structure, teacher student relationship, policies and rules are all designed to actualize our vision of schooling and education, to use it as an instrument of change bringing about individual flourishing and social transformation.

The school focus on egalitarian inclusiveness in its holistic, social justice focused approach by enabling students to recognize themselves and others as equal persons, rising above differences of caste, gender, religion and class, celebrating diversity and learning to live together.
