Tatva School Chennai

“What do you value in life then?" "I'm afraid you'll laugh at me. Beauty, truth and goodness."
- William Somerset Maugham

“ Truth is the first thing to be sought for; and Beauty and Goodness will then be added unto you."
- Mahatma Gandhi

“The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth… The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives"
- Albert Einstein

We, at TATVA, see ourselves as a learning space spurred on by these ideals of goodness, beauty and truth and strive to weave it into our work with children in a way that it enables children to bloom into purposeful, happy adults who serve the world they live in. It is important for educators to work sensitively in a way that a genuine inner enthusiasm for the world is developed in the hearts of each growing child and this, in turn, results in also developing truly creative individuals who know how to carve a space for themselves in this world. This is the task we have taken onto ourselves.
