An alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad with 8 years of experience in the education sector, Vidya did her Bachelors in Engineering in Computer Science & Engineering from NIT Allahabad.

Along the path, we discovered Waldorf curriculum which is based on the indications given by Rudolf Steiner , an Austrian philosopher and educationist among other things, and we realized that our search for a beautiful, meaningful and deep curriculum was over. Balancing academic learning with an artistic approach pinned to the developmental needs of the growing child, the Waldorf curriculum is a gift to humanity and our journey ahead is to deepen this impulse and contextualize it to serve children growing up in the Indian social milieu. Today, we have two campuses in Polachery village - a Kindergarten-Primary School Campus and a Middle-High School campus - spread out over a total land area of around 3 acres.
“Good education creates space where children can truly experience their childhood. A true experience of childhood fosters creativity and independence in adult life."
- Rudolf Steiner

The backbone of our school is our teaching team deeply committed to the cause of meaningful education. It is a team that is constantly striving to deepen their understanding of the inner nature of the child and their chosen subject(s), and how the subject(s) may be best harnessed to serve the development of the child’s willing, feeling and thinking faculties. Our team comes from varied backgrounds – some first-time teachers, some experienced practitioners, some with industry background, some with artistic background – but what unifies them all is a passion for learning and a love to serve children.
In the Kindergarten team, the teacher is the source of warmth, security and goodness in the environment taking responsibility for all the experiences that are built into the curriculum. Liasing closely with the parents, the kindergarten teacher strives to create a harmony between the school and home environments so that the child experiences wholesome nourishment from every side at all times. In the Grade team, the teacher becomes the beloved authority bringing to life all the contemporary and classical subjects in an artistic manner. Constantly on a learning path, every teacher becomes a living example of someone who is a representative of all that is good and beautiful in this world and is worthy of imitation. In the final years of the child’s stay in our school, the High School teacher becomes the epitome of striving for truth. While each of them is an expert in their chosen area, the team as a whole works tirelessly in synchrony building a community of adults working towards a common goal – preparing children subconsciously for their own journey into adulthood.
"Imbue thyself with the power of Imagination"
"Have courage for Truth"
"Strengthen the feeling for the Responsibility of the soul"
- Rudolf Steiner
These words of Steiner’s are our team’s guiding principles and they set the mood for their never-ending inner strivings.
To demonstrate our commitment to excellence in education, we are choosing to be a certified Cambridge International School. We will prepare children to eventually appear for Cambridge Certifying Examinations such as the IGCSE and the A-levels.
Cambridge qualifications are widely recognised as qualifications that prepare and equip students with the skills they need to succeed both at university and beyond. The qualifications inherently stand for independent research and critical thinking skills as well as deep subject knowledge and lends themselves very well to the Waldorf-inspired multi-disciplinary approach we have in TATVA.
