Sattva Vikas helps children become
adults who are led neither by peer pressures nor
by common sentiments, but by the strength of their
own thinking.
We
begin by building a foundation:
Language Arts (reading, composition,
and grammar), Math, Science and Logic are the
core disciplines. They are the key to unlocking
information in all the subjects. The degree of
mastery in these four disciplines determines a
student’s ability to master the higher disciplines
effectively.
As we strengthen the foundation,
higher and stronger structures become possible.
We teach subject content to give
students facts and concepts, but as we teach content,
we teach method—logic and thinking skills.
Students learn to evaluate, question, and search
for connections. Finding and understanding the
connections between concepts is what enables students
to retain and then apply and extend their knowledge.
They learn to find connections by doing things
in logical sequence—that is how they learn
to recognize logical progression.
Learning
that progress is determined by effort, a students
realize that their success is in their control
and is their responsibility. As they learn and
apply this idea, they begin to understand and
enjoy the strength of their own mind. As they
learn to respect their own capacity and gain confidence,
they also learn to appreciate and respect the
same in others.
Sattva Vikas students learn about
freedom, and value each person’s fundamental
rights.
They learn to respect themselves
and others as individuals and do not misuse the
property of others.
Start
Early and Start Right
We introduce
a subject during the appropriate window of opportunity—the
time when the corresponding areas of the brain
are developing connections. This results in making
most of these intense periods of brain development—when
the mind is naturally predisposed to learn that
subject. They also learn to find pleasure in every
little thing that is learnt. 
We teach children that learning
is fun, and that success comes only after effort—in
any subject and in life. We help them to develop
the confidence to approach any challenge with
the attitude: "I can do this if I
work at it".
The learning patterns established
in the very early years of a child’s life
greatly affect the outcome of that child's education
and stimulates creativity and establishes thinking
and social skills that are necessary to future
success.
