Where We Are

We are a Unique Language Research Lab not isolated from the learning problems in the school, But in the midst of solving them on a day to day basis.

We are located in Isai Ambalam School, Auroville. Most of its stu­dents come from nearby villages. Presently there are a little more than 100 students and 9 teach­ers in the school. For the last 10 years the school has been successfully specialising in conducting experiments in education by adopt­ing innovative, effective and comprehensive edu­cational methods that make learning easier, faster, more joyous and holistic. In all these methods the three cardinal principles of education enunciated by Sri Aurobindo are very well incorporated, and all are based on joy, freedom, self-learning and ownership of learning. All of them create the most appropriate learning environment for the students, and all have further scope for improvisation and creativity.
