Students learn to perceive the world from various angles to form their own worldview, extending their knowledge beyond the confines of the classroom walls and at the same time practising a physically and emotionally balanced lifestyle. This ‘wholesomeness’ is to empower individuals to confidently step into the real world adapting to societal changes and embracing life’s challenges with positivity - a robust tree able to withstand the sands of time!
