Isha Home School (IHS) is a private co-educational residential school located amid the tranquil surroundings of the Velliangiri Foothills 30 km from Coimbatore. Founded in 2005 by Sadhguru, the school strives to incorporate his educational approach of encouraging the natural blossoming of children into its day-to-day teaching-learning process.
The school is dedicated to ensuring the child's holistic development in a home-like nurturing environment. In many ways, the school resembles the extended, large, joint families of the past, wherein each person, while retaining their individuality, is also an active part of an intimate microcosm of people from different age groups, mental make-ups, and needs.
All aspects of the school are designed to kindle the innate urge within every child to learn and know. The prime focus is not only on developing a child’s intellectual capacities but also on exploring other dimensions of life. The aim is to go beyond the information-gathering paradigm of education to creating more evolved minds and better human beings whose attitudes and outlook are about responsibility, inclusion, contribution, and constantly seeing how to make a difference around them.
The school is a harmonic blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary practice. Though global in scope and vision, the school is rooted in the rich cultural heritage of India. The school program and routines have been carefully drawn up based on the science of inner wellbeing to promote wholesome and healthy living that enables students to feel confident and self-sufficient.
The school, featuring a sprawling campus of nearly 30 acres, is located amid the serene environs of the Velliangiri Mountains. The architecture and interior spaces are meticulously crafted to incorporate and accentuate the natural beauty within and around the school. The residential and learning spaces are designed to seamlessly integrate the openness and aesthetics of the outdoors with the functionality of the interiors.
