General Information and Background
Inspired by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, the aim of transition school is to help our children develop integrally so that each child may develop naturally to his/her full potential, to impart a solid academic grounding, as well as to foster human values so that Auroville children can become responsible individuals, dedicated towards human unity.
Members and Affiliations
Right now in 2010 transition school has 155 students in the age of 7 to 15 years old and 40 teachers.
Aims and Objectives
Their program includes traditional subjects such as math, science, computer, environmental and social studies, music, physical education, and arts and crafts. Less traditional subjects for the primary and middle school are awareness through the body and sandbox. The languages of Auroville, French, Tamil, English and Sanskrit are taught at transition. English is the medium of instruction, French and Tamil, are taught as first and second languages, and Sanskrit in the form of songs. They plan for the future to build a multimedia room. A place for the children to keep contact with theater, music, movies and just to play.
