According to the twentieth-century psychologist Abraham Maslow, self-actualization—the ability of a person to reach his or her full potential—is at the top of a list of needs that all human beings share. When self-actualization, and the corresponding feelings of confidence and inclusion, is denied to certain people, society suffers, because not every person is able to contribute the ideas, knowledge, and skills that lead to progress.

The goals of education, and of a school, indisputably include building cognitive abilities such as reading and math. Increasingly, however, each of our experience clearly indicates that children should be equipped with other critical abilities that allow them to succeed in and contribute to the society they live in. We will broadly call such traits – such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, self-management, decision-making, perseverance – <strong><em>Critical LifeSkills.</em></strong>

A common belief is that life skills are optional and secondary to achieving basic literacy and numeracy only if resources are available. Research, however, unequivocally shows that students who develop social-emotional skills alongside academic mindsets are better equipped to succeed not only in school but more importantly in real-life.

<ul>
	<li>Prospective students must apply for admission. Participants, accompanied by an adult can walk-in to our office for an interview session.</li>
	<li><strong>Admission will be by invitation only. </strong>On selection, you can complete the admission formalities and will receive a student kit.</li>
	<li>Once you are enrolled in the program, parents and the participants will provide online responses to a Personality Assessment and a Multiple Intelligence Assessment. A report is generated describing the child’s personality &amp; the available intelligences.</li>
	<li>The Children <strong>will go through 12 sessions of 3 hours each</strong>. Much of the class will be either discussion-based &amp; experiential in nature. We use movies, role plays, skits. Students should be comfortable participating in large- and small-group discussions.</li>
	<li>There shall be enjoyable home assignments &amp; projects and Guest Lectures from Industry Leaders to provide perspectives to the Children.</li>
	<li>With the help of the Assessment reports, there will <strong>be a 3—hour counselling session for parents and children</strong> to understand the child’s personality and orientation. This will enable parents to align &amp; develop a suitable parenting approach that can help maximize the child’s potential as well as support their journey</li>
