Let your child soar with dreams as wings
Where the mind is without fear…
This is what it takes to navigate and succeed in the new world. That’s only
possible when the mind is curious and has been trained to get to the core of
everything around; when it has imbibed the love for knowledge and the capacity
for application of this knowledge. This is the kind of mind we want to empower
our children with The Envision School.
We have envisioned the coming together of conventional wisdom of traditional
methods and the agility of the modern education concepts to morph into a
values-based education. We have envisioned a safe space, both physically
and emotionally, for your child to learn and develop an all-round, wholesome
personality. We envision to inspire curiosity in your child. We envision your
child growing into a youth with a fearless mind, able body and an aptitude for
endless knowledge. In the words of the Great Poet who inspired our headline,
we envision a world where the mind is led forward into ever-widening thought
and action.
Welcome to The Envision School where we want children to dream, and we will
add wings to turn them into reality. Discover our journey and come aboard.
— Sarath Vadakattu Founding Director
The world is changing; it’s changing faster than ever before. What is new today becomes obsolete even before you have had the chance to learn and excel at it. Given that the world is changing at the pace of thought, it is no longer enough for your child to be good at one thing – it is important to be able to learn multiple things and be good at all of them. They have to wake up the next day and be ready to start afresh without fear but with fortitude, armed with the dexterity to forge ahead.
THE ENVISION SCHOOL THE ENVISION SCHOOL
Acorns to Oaks, building from within
That is our philosophy at Envision, to build from within. Learning to learn is what
we aspire to inculcate in the children. Our infrastructure, the curriculum, the
extra-curricular activities and the pedagogy are all conceptualised to be building
blocks for your child’s future – however they dream about and envision it. Some
may learn from solving the rubix cube, while some may learn from solving
complex theorems, some may dream of being an astronaut, while some may
want to be a professional pole vaulter – whatever they want to be and however
they love to learn, we will create a space for them to learn according to their pace.
Transparency and open communication are the cornerstones of our vision at
Envision. We will strive at all times to keep an open line of communication and
continuous feedback between the school, the children and the parents. My
office will always be open to anyone who wants a conversation about the school
or its offerings.
Come let’s build a beautiful world and stimulate the senses in our children to
enjoy its beauty and lead it responsibly.
— Anuradha Rohidekar Principal
The Envision School is possibly a life-changing internal development programme. A space where your child is free to discover the world and its many fascinating truths. A space where your child is inspired to ask ‘why’ of everything and seek answers that’ll broaden their horizons. A space where your child can make mistakes without fear and create learning opportunities of them. A space that will use the principles of positive pedagogy and build from within a strong value system for your child to thrive and lead wherever they go in the world tomorrow.

Giving wings to dreams
THE ENVISION SCHOOL THE ENVISION SCHOOL
The Envision School is an idea nurtured by years of proven experience with
children and parents. One which resulted in the growing of a collective of play-
schoolers into happy and smart children. The blending of time-honed techniques
of learning with ingenious methods of instruction was inherent and intrinsic to
this journey. Add to it a high level of accountability and conversation between the
school and the parents, and a lasting belief that life is a judicious mix of reality and
positivity, learning and questioning, academics and life lessons – you have the
genesis of The Envision School, a growing idea and a new one that envisages to
be like no other.
The Envision School is located at Basavanagar, Marathali Post, spread across
3 acres of green surroundings and fresh air.
The Envision School combines simple techniques of the one-to-one pedagogy of
ancient traditional education systems with modern methodologies. We have CBSE
and IGCSE syllabi delivered in the XSeed education format from Singapore – the
best of what we treasure as proven teaching methods, with the progressive ways
of future-enabling techniques.
Children will be inspired to always ask why, and teachers will, by choice, give
answers that nurture reasoning, observation and the precept behind the theory.
At the Envision School we empathise with every parent’s dream. What’s your
dream for your child? A doctor? An engineer? A corporate professional? An IT
whiz? A Spell bee champion? A dancer? A singer? An explorer? A teacher? We
recognise the key role a school can play – from playschool to high school in a
unique way in making those dreams come true.
First we begin with recognising that every child is different and preserving that
endearing diversity in personalities and competencies is of paramount importance
for development.
Then, we map the child’s specific needs and ensure our well-conceived
curriculum is delivered in easy-to-handle portions. This is enabled by teachers who
are selected and trained to identify the intellectual, emotional and problem solving
skills of the student. An empathetic teacher means a happy student is what works
at Envision.
Followed by establishing an unobtrusive way of assessment; that which
encompasses the various all-round skills of the student – language ability,
mathematical bent, nature loving aptitude – that drive the student to explore
and be constantly curious about everything around.
Lastly, cultivate the awareness that comes about with a smart personality
and presentation.
Your Neighbourhood School

Children at Envision savour the ‘today’ while gearing up for the challenges of ‘tomorrow’.

The Envision 4The Envision difference is built on four foundational attributes. Each of these
draw from our philosophy and define our objectives as we traverse a path
envisioned very differently.
CBSE
Envision offers the nationally and globally recognised CBSE curriculum that has proven to be responsive to the growing
and changing education needs of children in the country. A national level Board of Education in India, it is known for its
continuous reforms in the syllabus, examinations and evaluation practices. Apart from ensuring affiliated schools offer
committed high standards of education, it also encourages an innovative teaching paradigm that offers flexibility in
teaching methodologies customized to students’ abilities and aptitude.
Cambridge IGSCE
Once your child reaches senior school, they will have access to the globally popular Cambridge IGCSE curriculum for 14-
16 year-olds. It provides broad and balanced study across a wide range of subjects, using learner-centred and enquiry-
based approaches to learning. This not only adds a global perspective to their education but also gives them access to
a growing community of global students that has been sought after for nearly three decades. Recognised by leading
universities and employers worldwide, it is an international passport to progression and success.
XSeed, Singapore
XSeed comes with a mission to transform education globally; from rote to learning, from “telling” to teaching. It advocates
an iterative learning methodology applied to children in the formative years between 3 and 13 when the brain has the
maximum flexibility to adapt and learn. XSEED encourages children to
l Ask more questions
l Write in their own words
l Become self-reliant in completing their homework
l Be bold and speak-up in English
l Persist longer in solving problems
l Score well on tests.

Positive Pedagogy Project Value Nurture
A meaningful, well-orchestrated approach to pedagogy influences children’s
outcomes, spreads the joy of learning, removes inequality and allows every child
to pick up their pace and choice of the learning curve. In our philosophy it is
more than just a term. It is a harmonious blend of the teacher, the student and
the culture around that fosters a unique environment of learning, questioning,
solving, empathising and succeeding. We call it positive pedagogy. Our pedagogy
comprises of:
Qualified and Experienced Teachers
l Better organised teachers. They are well prepared, have the resources in
place and can manage a class with a sound pace and interactivity between
the student and the lessons, and the student and the teacher.
l Good teachers make the child understand easier and smarter. They work on
the concept of shared objectives – how much the child is picking up, is the
lesson being delivered in an effective manner, and more.
Concept-Driven Teaching
l A revisiting of the concept of homework. That which is reflective of the
child’s needs, capabilities and is flexible in nature. This way the need to be
disciplined is not something of force from the outside but a need felt from
within.
l The importance of personalised teaching and learning. This can only happen
when the teachers are sensitive to individual needs and provide learning that
is rich, varied and helps the student figure concepts out rather than force
them to learn things by rote.
l Unravelling the links in the world of the child is more an area of empathy
and possibly a skill set that needs to be imparted, honed and used at every
learning stage.
l Learning the logic, math, science and the joy of life requires a unique
approach to learning.
l Lastly assessment that is evaluative feedback and helps the student develop
and not feel judged. Here is where there is a strong interaction loop between
teacher, pupil and the parent.
At Envision we believe in inculcating a broad and inclusive value system in our
children. Using a combination of the curriculum, classroom training and extra-
curricular activities these values are to be encouraged, modelled, and explored by
students.
The values we aspire to cultivate in all our children are
l Excellence
l Innovation, inquiry, and curiosity
l Diversity
l Equity
l Community and participation
l Ecological sustainability, which includes care for the environment
l Integrity
l Respect for self, others
How do we do it?
We seek to imbibe attributes that will help them be leaders in the world outside
through extra-curricular activities. Activities that allow our children to explore their
areas of interest and build competence over time. They will have the flexibility to
explore more than one activity that suits their emerging ethos like:
Theatre and Stage activities to explore creative skills and encourage overcoming
stage fright.
Painting, Music and Dance to imbibe a natural rhythm with elements around
them and learn concentration.
Outdoor activities like age-based field trips, treks and rock-climbing among
others to build stamina and inculcate fearlessness.
Build from within, a wholesome development
A value system to make a better world and lead it

The TeamMeet the architect of the vision behind Envision and also the prinicipal who will
lead this vision and make it a reality.
Sarath is the founding director and the architect of the vision behind Envision. He is an award winning Educationist
who has led the Envision group to multiple prestigious pan-India awards in the field of education since 2009.
An Engineering Graduate with a PG in Business Management from XLRI Jamshedpur, Sarath comes with two decades
of international exposure spanning four continents in the fields of Software Engineering, Business Development,
Marketing and Education.
Sarath has extensively travelled across the world to explore and experience different cultures, people behavior and
living conditions, and this has helped him understand the impact and value of education from a global perspective.
His love for education comes from his school days at the prestigious Lawrence school (Ooty) where he first began
to show a flair for achieving wins across fields. Be it his prodigious skills in Mathematics that won him a scholarship
in his school days or his love for communication that led to winning an essay writing competition held across the
Commonwealth countries or the many medals that stand testimony to his athletic skills, and finally getting an admit
into the much coveted XLRI, Jamshedpur, Sarath was an achiever from a young age.
Across this journey of many successes, Sarath always felt there were gaps in the current education system that could
be improved. A unique concept-driven education where children are imbibed with strong value systems and the love
for learning, Sarath believes, will enable them navigate the world outside with greater success. He ensured that he
visited multiple schools, colleges, universities, and fine arts arenas all over the globe to enhance his horizons, develop
best practices across the spectrum and get the best holistic programs for children. His singular focus on continuously
improving the quality of education while keeping it affordable for most people is the driving force behind Envision..

learning.
She avers that a child’s environment can be made enriching by the coming together of the pupils, teachers and
parents on the platform of a shared vision. She will work to create a transparent and continuous communication
framework with the parents for feedback while driving the overall vision of Envision to reality.
Mrs Anuradha Rohidekar Principal
A safe space to be curious, learning to learn and a continuous loop of
constructive feedback for brighter tomorrows is how she envisions it.
Giving wings to dreams
An empowering education gives wings to the dreams of children; more so if it happens in an environment designed to keep them safe physically and emotionally. That’s the central idea of our brand identity where ‘E’ representing education and envision forms the wings of the bird in flight. Envision is also the meeting point of the conventional wisdom of traditional methods and the agility of modern processes – a trait you see in the combination of straight and curved lines in the wings of the bird. Finally the bird is a one-sided stroke leaving scope for evolution – something we want for our children – to grow as they learn even after they go into the world outside.
