My school's story! A message we live
A school for the ones who deserve a little extra! Yes, that’s my school! It’s Wisdom High International School and Junior College. Its verdant location and integrated educational approach are a compass for creating compassionately responsible, successful achievers as global citizens.
Every story has a beginning. Our school has an inspiring beginning … rather a fairy Godmother as well. Our respected chairman Mr. Manish Agarwal Sir and Managing Trustee Ms. Ritu Agarwal Ma’am always cherished this dream to make Nasikites acquire the stimulating educational face lift its own, unique way. This dream was supported by Sir’s grandmother Smt. Rukmanraniji Roshanlal Gupta. It was her dream that the school has tranquil as well as intellectually stimulating environment for learners -which stands so very true till date.
It all started with a vibrant and welcoming venture at Ritu ma’am’s backyard with a handful of students. Interactive stories, explorative number games, foot tapping music & rhymes, drama in all languages, and loads of fun was in store for the toddlers -that just left them craving for more and more each day. Ms. Varsha Mahore ma’am was the first teacher who allowed these young explorers that enthusiasm to probe, explore and enjoy every task up sleeves. Children learnt colours, seasons, festivals, fruits, vegetables, community helpers, drama, music, and art just to name a few in form of games and fun filled activities. And all of this was learnt by celebrating special days, singing songs, colouring and doll houses! If it was community helper’s day, kids used to dress up like doctors, teachers and so on… This allowed children to explore rather than imposing redundant, bookish ways. Parents whole heartedly participated and supported their child’s learning process.
The school gradually grew by inaugurating a new venture at Rameshwar Nagar in the year 2005. Its sprawling campus with unconventional teaching strategies were just the right click for the upbeat city that just wanted -a little extra! The school with individual virtually equipped subject labs [smart classes], AVRs, rich pages, footloose, saptsur, western music studio, cafeteria, auditoriums and the fully equipped sports area… This was a dream come true where children were allowed the right mix of academics and co-curricular activities. There was a treasure trove of interesting activities seasoned with life skills- elocution, art festivals, elections, a world in with motion, school cinema and many more to make the students savour experiential form of learning. Furthermore, our very own recharge centre mentored the right balance to maintain child’s emotional health along with the overall scholastic development. Mensa testing helped the students to carve their own niche and were receiving accolades in every forte. Can any ward’s journey be ever complete without his friends? To say it this way, spending a night at school in an adventure camp was a dream come true for all. Children always love to stay with their friends and in turn learn in a holistic manner-Making garments with newspapers, making missal and lots of games, morning walk! Allowing children to interact and explore to their heart’s core is what the kids long for! “Stop Talking!” is a taboo that the we unanimously endorse. Students are encouraged to think, to question, to research, to design and to do. Thus, they learn.
Moving this beautiful journey ahead … a new colourful chapter was added to our success story- a new campus for Little Wonders International… at our very own Rameshwar Nagar premises. Beautifully painted classes, bean-shaped seating arrangements to make learning interactive, pigeon holes that caters to students’ organising skill, forming queues to take a serving, night suit day and listening to lovely stories from fairy are just a few, in fact very few snippets to share. There was a special reading cove in every classroom along with visual stimulus- this helped to improve students’ sight-reading skills. How can a mention of the sand play, activity area, computer labs and the most updated library left unnoticed? Lovely books were carefully hand picked keeping the learning objectives in mind. The common area is always adorned considering the thematic monthly activities, planners and other requites like bus routes, circulars to help parents stay abreast with the upcoming events. The staircase was so much fun to climb down as it reminds me of Jack and the Bean stalk! How intricately and meticulously is everything designed- ventilation, colour scheme, comfort and above all child’s safety. The garden area is flanked by vivid play equipment and basket ball court that children just can’t afford to miss. The Little Wonder premises always leaves one in a magical trance that makes learning so very colourful and simple.
