We are committed to provide Integral Education Experience to all our students. We strive to integrate mind, body and spirit within an academic framework that promotes multiple ways of knowing.

In all the programs implemented by us, we combine an Integral Education dimension with the program curriculum. It is one of the most unique offerings aimed at "enhancing the learners’ Intelligence Quotient, Emotional Quotient and Spiritual Quotient."

Domains of Personal Development

There are six distinct domains of personal development in any person that are critical for sustained excellence. By acquiring the skills to leverage each of these domains of personal development and applying them to complex technical / business issues, people can make real progress towards increasing their capacity for creating sustained, exceptional value as individuals and leaders. These six domains are:

• Spiritual
• Moral
• Physical
• nterpersonal
• Emotional
• Cognitive

About the Program
The Integral Education dimension provides students with the skills to respond creatively and constructively to the rapid changes in our contemporary world. The program acquaints students with a variety of cultural, historical, ecological and personal forces that shape individual and social experience.

To carry forward our tradition of innovative approaches to education, students are encouraged to integrate and build on their life experiences and are challenged to broaden their perspectives and deepen their knowledge.

Students develop the skills of self-education. Emphasis on collaborative learning allows learners to shape their own education in the classroom as well as through individualized study. Through an integration of cognition, emotion, creativity and spirituality, the program provides an opportunity to rediscover oneself and redefine one's life's work and direction.

Program Design

Students attend weekend seminars designed to enhance students' creativity, capacity to learn individually and in group settings and their ability to articulate personal values, philosophy and focus. The curriculum promotes a broad perspective and incorporates the insights of systematic thinking and ecological principles. The student attends these weekend seminars for the entire length of the course he/she is pursuing.

This program utilizes transformative learning principles of group development while focusing on three themes viz. self, culture and society. All incoming students should make a conscious commitment to this special learning experience and can expect that an important part of their learning will take place during the times the groups work together. Learning together as a group enriches individual learning immeasurably because it integrates skills and knowledge acquired outside the classroom, teaches students about the learning process itself, sharpens students' ability to be self-reflective, articulate and improvisational, transforms perspectives of the self-and-other experience and blazes the trail to life-long learning.

Learning activities during the weekend seminars include writing exercises, presentations by individuals and small groups, visual and performance art exercises, active listening, dramatic readings, movement exercises, visualization exercises, critical thinking and reflection exercises, research and inquiry exercises and group discussions.
