NEXT School

Perishable knowledge comes and goes, but when a child has autonomy and the freedom to lead their own learning, it stops being about memorising and starts becoming something they truly understand and own.

Learners take spaces at .school and make them their own! 🥹
Sometimes it’s as simple as an advisory naming itself based on an inside joke. Sometimes it’s sticky notes with questions and thoughts! Learners pause, discuss, move things around, make space for each other’s ideas. A personal object finds its way into a learning centre and suddenly the space feels different 😍 Small details but together, they turn an advisory into something that feels like it belongs to the people inside it 😊

It was one of those afternoons you wish you could bottle up 😍 A Sleepover Theme Camping Afternoon met the festivities of the Kite Flying Festival! 🏕️ They opened their own bags and tiffins, picked up drums and played around, tried reading on their own, moved between doing things by themselves and joining the group. As the afternoon went on, it felt less about the plan and more about being together with advisors and learners fully in it with each other, laughing, figuring things out, and just having a really good time 😁

✨📚 As part of their reading programme, our PYP learners read ‘When Adil Speaks, Words Dance’ and a title from the Ninja Nani series by Ms. Lavanya Karthik. They recently had the joy of meeting the author herself, in a session filled with curiosity, questions, and thoughtful conversations.

Ms. Karthik shared how a deep sense of wonder shapes her storytelling and creative thinking. Learners listened closely as she spoke about her writing journey and the small, everyday ideas that grow into stories.

We’re grateful to for her time, warmth, and the inspiration she shared with our young readers 😊

Aesthetics, Fashion and Personal Choices 😎 A contemporary Hindi class where Grade 7 MYP Learners talk about topics they relate to instantly. Since everyone has their own style and opinions, the class naturally becomes lively! Learners want to jump in, agree, disagree, share examples, and talk about what they like and why. Conversations don’t feel forced or scripted, they feel easy and flowing. 😁The focus is on talking, listening, and expressing thoughts comfortably, helping learners build confidence in a way that feels natural!

Tata Mumbai Marathon | Champions with Disability Category

Our NEXT Plus learners crossed a powerful milestone today—one step closer to being truly real-world ready 🙌🏼

After a month of focused training under the guidance of Chaitanya Sir, a professional coach, they ran the Tata Mumbai Marathon alongside their buddies🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

And what an experience it was!

This wasn’t something you can rehearse for in a classroom. The noise, the nerves, the scale, the unpredictability—this is the real world. And the only way to learn it is to live it 😁
