History
The school was founded in 1956 by Shri Surendra Nath Jauhar "Faquir", with the blessings of The Mother. The school's motto "More True, Forever More True" was given by the Mother herself and the school's emblem potrays a bird in flight rising towards heaven. The school had a humble beginning but over the years has developed to establish itself as one of the foremost leaders of integrated education.
Aims
The school strives to create an awakening of cultural and spiritual values in accordance with the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. It has its own distinctive ethos. It aims at building an integrated personality by attempting to harmonize the different elements that constitute the individual - body, thoughts, feelings, instinct and impulses, aspiration and seeking.
Environment
The school has a strength of about 2500 pupils with an average class size of 35 students. Each standard has five classes. It is spread over an expanse of several hundred acres and thus, provides ample scope for the all-round personality development of students. It has well-equipped laboratories in its different departments where stress is laid on understanding and appreciation of the subject rather than memorising for an exam-based system alone. It has a vast library where students can find books relating to various topics.
The school has its own stadium sized (400 metres) running track with appropriate training facilities for Athletics, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, Table Tennis, Sepak Takraw among others. These activities help in developing the child's personality.
The institution benefits from the serene Ashram ambiance and mutual interaction with the other institutions on the same campus, which include the alternative education school Mirambika, the pre-school Mira Nursery, and the Matri Karuna Vidyalaya. The campus also hosts a bakery, iron-work unit, wood-work unit, candle-making and handmade paper unit, vocational training centre, book store, and an organic vegetable farm.
Subjects, Activities and Achievements
The school teaches four languages: English, Hindi, Sanskrit and French. It also teaches Mathematics, Science and Social Studies till Class 10. There are three main streams for study beyond Class 10: Science, Commerce and Humanities.
The school also places emphasis on co-curricular activities such as art, craft, dance, vocal and instrumental music.
Culturally, the school is a hub of activities. Being a member of SPIC MACAY, the School has active Drama, Quizzing, Yoga, Taekwondo, Gymnastics, Music (instrumental as well as vocal) and Art Groups apart from others. The school is continually a host to various inter-school as well as intra-school competitions.
The school has had a great record in the past years, with achievements ranging from academics to sports and co-curricular activities. It is one of the foremost in education in Delhi and has featured thrice in the Outlook Best School Survey as the best school in Delhi and one of the best in India.
A major plus point of the school is the small student to teacher ratio (1 teacher for every 35 students). Thus each child gets a lot of individual attention and is more involved in school activities.
For the past couple of years the school has been rated 'The Best School in Delhi' according to the Outlook Magazine survey.
