Avalon Heights is an International School located in Vashi. We are accredited by both IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) and CICSE (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations). Avalon Heights International School aims at creating a dynamic & interactive learning environment where lasting love for learning outside the school curriculum is cultivated. At Avalon Heights International School, we promote a practice approach making a visible connection between learning and life. Avalon Heights International School also adequately emphasizes on values by preparing children to not just make a living but a life wherever they go. The cornerstone of Avalon Heights International School program is academics excellence beyond books. This strength that sets Avalon Heights International School apart is the methodology and the way of imparting lessons to the students where care is taken, not only about what children are learning but also as to how they feel in the classroom. Covey, "the essence of these needs is captured in the phrase 'to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy'. Avalon´s vision is adapted from this path-breaking thought." We believe that loving children is more important than teaching them; that firing up their imaginations is more important than filling them up with facts. In times where, education is primarily dominated by the yang which emphasizes the rational, the material, the masculine and the individual and excludes the Yin which is the intuitive, the spiritual, the feminine and the group, Avalon strives to be holistic. As a common philosophy, we at Avalon believe in innovation in the classroom, by both teachers and students. To be able to impart education the way it is best digested and assimilated by children, our team of innovative teachers are constantly developing new methods and techniques. Professional development workshops every year ensure that teachers are kept innovative and up-to-date. The school should give the child not only intellectual stimulation but must promote emotional development of the child by providing a loving, secure and sensitive environment. The EQ is as important as the IQ level of a child.
