Step 1:

Parents who are interested and feel they are in sync with the Centre's intent and philosophy you may fill up enquiry form from the below

link:https://www.aksharamaney.org/admissionenquiry

Step 2:

Once we receive the enquiry form, we shall email you the details for the admission process along with the admission form, if the age/class criteria is fulfilled. Please send in all documents related to previous schooling. If the child has been homeschooled then you can mention about the same in the form. Any supporting medical records, assessments, etc also should be provided.

An informal interaction between the teacher and the student along with the parents would be our way of familiarising with each other to understand our school ethos and help the journey of your ward begin on a positive note. The details of the same would be intimated at a later date upon fulfilling the initial process.

There will be an academic evaluation for children seeking admission above Class 1 ages.

If any parent wants to withdraw their child from Akshara Maney , they have to write to us 3 months in advance, in order to obtain any letter of reference for future use.

Keeping rising costs and affordability plus making the best of facilities available to our children, we have judiciously kept a lower limit in donation (non refundable) to the Trust which can be discussed during admission process.

In the first year of admission, the donation has to be made fully at the time of admission. Second year onwards, parents can opt for either making the donation upfront or in two instalments.

School visits are scheduled only once a year during Admission Process: ​Without prior appointment, walkins are NOT allowed.

Akshara Manèy is not affiliated to any educational board. So far we have designed our curriculum based on our experience in understanding the children's academic needs who happen to join us from various learning environments.

We accept them “as -is” and progress.

We base NCERT, NEP and NIOS as reference to frame curriculum. Children after reaching high school have a choice to purse NIOS exam preparation or pursue self-paced-self-designed curriculum. For both the streams we ensure there is adequate mentoring and support from the Center and from their families as-well.

• Syllabus:

• NCERT & NIOS Syllabus integrated with life-skills for a tangible exploration of academic concepts.

• Registration for NIOS board exams for 9th and 10th grade secondary course certification

• Class 1 to 8 children are exposed basic concepts, VEDIC Math approach, Nature Studies & EVS, Kannada, Samskrtam & English Languages etc

• Regular assessment of skills in an informal manner to build stamina for higher challenges, to be skilled to give exam, but without the component of FEAR!

• Challenges derived from every day needs are integrated into selected topics that are present in NCERT syllabus.

• Children are trained in microagriculture, public speaking, presentation skills, and other soft skills since day one. Music, chanting, and physical activities are integral parts of the wholesome development required for a child's growth at Akshara Manèy.

• Early behavioral and academic stamina assessments.

Parents whose children are not offered admission for any particular year are requested to stay in touch with us via our website, dialogue sessions and other events and could reapply for the next academic year.

The concept of trial period has never been in our culture.

Akshara Manèy's education is more about welcoming a change towards educating a child. Prospective parents are encouraged to attend our Dialogues Sessions which are open ended discussions amongst interested parents, whom we consider as the first educators a child has! These conversations never have any conclusion rather the questions are kept alive at the end of every session. As a parent and a family who would like to know more about the teachings of J. Krishnamurti, we invite them to weekly Dialogues currently being held online.

Mutual interactions over a period of time will guide one to decide the course of education for oneself and the child and not sample the experience for day or for a week!

Children get a TC from NIOS board after finishing 10th board exams. We however give a letter of acknowledgement that a child has spent a significant number of years at Akshara Manèy and any reports if need be.

In case you want to move away to a different city or to a different learning center, we encourage parents to look for Learning Center that are functioning on similar thoughts, schools that think alternatively about teaching-learning as children should not be exposed to sudden changes in learning environment.

Akshara Manèy has not affiliated itself to any educational board.

We do have eminent guest resources (people who have spent numerous years in a Krishnamurti School, scientist who belong to a prestigious scientific organisations, musicians, classical dancers, theatre personalities, academicians, to name a few genres) who visit our Center to share their knowledge and experience with children on a regular basis.
