Montessori Classroom
Sharanalaya’s World school classroom is a lively, inviting space designed to enhance learning and growth. Children can freely choose from carefully curated Montessori materials that cater to their interests. These hands-on resources facilitate tangible learning across academic subjects and life skills.
While children direct their learning journey, our teachers provide subtle yet effective guidance, ensuring comprehension and progression. With observation, they discern when to intervene and when to let a child explore independently. This balance of child-led activity and teacher support fosters creativity.
Routines like rolling up rugs after use and maintaining a calm demeanor instill self-regulation and responsibility towards the community.
Through its intentional layout, interactive resources, and nurturing guidance, our Montessori classroom thrives as a dynamic learning hub.
Safety & Discipline of the Children
At Sharanalaya School, student safety and discipline are top priorities. We maintain a secure campus through measures like continuous surveillance, restricted boundaries, and regular safety drills. Beyond physical protections, we nurture a culture of discipline and respect. Educators use positive reinforcement and values-based teaching to instill self-control, accountability, and consideration among students.
This holistic approach ensures students are safeguarded within the school walls and equipped with essential life skills like discipline and integrity that extend beyond. Our goal is to provide an environment where children can grow into responsible citizens amidst a supportive community.
Holidays & School events
To know about school holidays and special events like annual day, sports day celebrations, it is always best advised to consult with your teacher as they will have the updated information.
