same schools and styles of education very differently. Also, it must be remembered
it has been some years since I went to sc hool (!) though I am still in touch with my
old school and what is going on there.
The post is inspired by a discussion on Poppins blog. Some questions arose there that I thought Id address at greater length here.
What is a Krishnamurti school? Krishnamurti was an Indian philosopher who strongly believed that c hildren should learn in an environment free from fear. He started some s chools whic h are run by the Krishnamurti Foundation India.
There are some other Krishnamurti sc hools, that are not a part of the Foundation, but are inspired his teachings. The schools are not religious, or based on any religious philosophy. Here is a link to what the KFI website says about
the K schools.
I thought Id tackle some of the common points (some of them myths) that arise when there is a discussion about alternative sc hools first:
The schools all have an international curriculum:
This is not true for all of them. A lot of them follow the ICSE system (as opposed to CBSE), an Indian board. For the 12th standard, the ISC board is followed. Rishi Valley School, The Valley Sc hool, The Sc hool etc of the K schools
all follow an ICSE syllabus. The Rajghat School follows a CBSE syllabus. A lot of the newer alternative sc hools in India also follow the ICSE syllabus, suc h as the schools that follows the Steiner-Waldorf model. A few schools, such as
Shibumi and Centre for Learning follow IGCSE/ GCE exams (administered by Cambridge University) and A levels.
Alternative Schools Are all very Expensive:
I think people often c onflate alternative schools with international schools and automatically assume that they will be expensive. There are some very expensive interna tional schools in India, that do follow alternative models, at
least in so far as they are alternative to the more conventional schools. But there are alternative schools that have been around for ages, such as the K schools and Mirambika that charge around the same as lots of other schools.
Some of the alternative schools are boarding schools and thus charge more, but are not necessarily the most expensive boarding schools around. Some alternative sc hools of fer sc holarships and take c hildren when the parents are
unable to meet the full fees. Rishi Valley Sc hools policy on funding is as follows:
In a typical year there are about 6 scholarship students, including children from families engaged in social work in remote parts of the country. Fee reduc tions are made available so that fees are adjusted to family
incomes provided students qualify on the entrance tests.
CFL says:
Fees are not discussed before admission is offered. Families are encouraged to view fees as a contribution to sustain the school rather than a fee for a service. We have succ essfully put in place, with parents
cooperation, a fee structure that reflec ts the familys financ ial situation.
Children who go to alternative schools will not be able to enter good institutions of higher learning:
In my view this is nonsense, though some will disagree with me. People from my class went on to the finest colleges in India and abroad. I went to one of the best c ollege s in India straight after school and then to one of the worlds
top universities. As did A. As did many of our classmates. The principal of my Indian college told me she particularly looked out for students from my school (Im sorry if this sounds like showing off, but there is no other way to say
it). Of course there are some who didnt get into a top college, but then not everyone from a mainstream school gets into the best c olleges, and this is due to a range of a fac tors. There is, also, of course, the question of whether
one can always really judge a persons intelligenc e by the college she gets into
Children who go to alternative schools will not get get jobs (by this people mean the person will not be able to climb the corportate ladder):
Also nonsense, in my view. Not only are several graduates from alternative schools climbing the c orporate ladder, they are pretty well off as well. In fac t some of them a re doing better than conventionally educated kids. Its true
that some alternatively educated c hildren think of different career choices. But why not? Not everyone is cut out to do a c orporate job. So what if they bec ame scientists , ac ademics, film-makers, dancers and musicians? Not all
c onventionally educated kids are cut out for corporate jobs either. The difference is that in an alternative sc hool you may get a better c hanc e to develop your talents an d at least think of a c areer where you might put your talents
to good use, instead of mindlessly doing something you hate, just because its the done thing.
TM Krishna is a product of The School, Chennai, a Krishnamurti School, and is on rec ord as saying his sc hooling had a great deal of influenc e on him.
This what TM Krishna says:
I did my sc hooling in The School K.F.I. This is an institution managed by the J.Krishnamurthy Trust. My educ ation and grooming in this school has influenced my perc eptions and outlook towards life. The school was
different in terms of the atmosphere and method of education to all other schools. I was very interested in Economics from my school days. This made me pursue a graduatio n course in Economic s. I did my B.A.
Economics in Vivekananda College. I guess if I had not taken to music I would have followed up my graduation with something like management.
Clearly, he did consider a more mainstream choice, i.e. management. Its good for all of us he chose to become a singer instead!
At my school, Carnatic music was offered as a subject for the ICSE, so those who could sing were encouraged to learn it seriously.
Alternatively educated kids will not be able to take competitive exams:
This is related to the points above: I took an exam to enter my college after school and then later the world renowned university I joined. I passed them. But I have to be honest and say that opinion is mixed about this issue.
R1, who also went to an alternative school (for longer than I did), feels that an inability to take competitive exams c ould be a point held against alternative schools. S he says, We arent used to mugging!
Shripriya who went to another K school agrees with this view (see further below).
But I am not so convinced, especially since R1 is herself an example of a person who is very good at cracking exams.
A, who was in an alternative boarding school since the grand old age of seven, has been cracking exams with great ease for years. He says that the school tried to dissuad e him from being so competitive and he resents that
(though he loved the school). Knowing A as I do, I dont think that what the school did was such a bad thing!
Here is a quote from a student who went to an alternative sc hool who passed a c ompetitive exam:
Amitabh shares the news that he has got through the IAS examination, then writes that people keep asking how he gets through competitive examinations after having studied in a noncompetitive school. The
school taught me to compete, he muses, not with others, but with my own self. I learnt to pursue excellence.
Link.
On the other hand there are children who are very bright, but just not good at doing exams. I think alternative sc hools might be good for some of them, because they take some of the tension away. See further below.
Advantages of being in an alternative school:
Again, this section is totally coloured by my experienc e, others may have a different opinion.
Lack of pressure:
The first and overwhelming feeling I had, when I switched from my more mainstream school in Bombay to my alternative sc hool, was the feeling of freedom. In Bombay I carried a heavy sc hoolbag, was constantly tired and had this
unmistakeable sense of pressure looming over me. I found it much easier to study and enjoy my c lasses at my alternative sc hool. This was despite the fact that I had many other things to oc cupy me suc h as violin lessons, games,
hikes, yoga, pottery etc . In fact I think it was because of these extra activities that studying became easier. I had no sc hool bag, we all did our homework together at prep time after PE in the evening and it was fun.
An emphasis on a natural environment:
The K schools at least, are usually situated in a lovely landscape; the sense of space and greenery made all the differenc e to our lives. We had spac e to play, time to ob serve the birds (in some c ases this was compulsory!) and
watc h the rain while we sang (the auditorium was open on all sides). A and I became friends during a paper rec ycling c lass (also compulsory) while we were making paper pulp. We c omposted and gardened and studied calculus and
French literature. My completely c oncrete school with a small sandpit in Bombay c ould not compare.
Good Student-Teacher Ratio:
I had one on one classes with some of my teachers who were PhDs in their subjects (and who also taught well). I would spend hours learning a partic ular subjec t, far beyon d the allotted time, and it was ok. As long as I finished
what was on the syllabus, we went far beyond it, studying anything that interested us. Classes for several subjec ts were c onduc ted under trees.
Even if we were at full class size in the classroom, there was usually only a maximum of 25 students.

Hi uttara, Your post was something I had been searching for some time. My son is 3 years, I would like to put him in a alternative sc hool when he 5yrs like CFL or ishahomeschool @ c oimbatore whic h will allow him to come
home in the weekends. Sinc e I want to him to be happy and not a person who goes through life c onfused about it. I went to a convent sc hool and I have not spent time in introspec tion, but have been taught to live by
comparison. I just studied for being better than other kids.
About your post,I loved the thought that you are allowed to walk out of class anytime :), you just bec ome so muc h produc tive by choosing not to do things you dont feel interested in.
My question to you was, as most animals keep their children with them upto a certain age in order they learn the customs and way of life of their community. Did you or any of your friends feel unnatural about being pulled
away into another unfamiliar world? Do children suffer seperation anxieties? Does this effect them in later life, and cloud their in decision making. It is a wierd question, but one whic h bothers me the most.
Please help me here. I am very eager, to let my son grow up preserving his inclinations so that he does not get lost in the hustle-bustle. I owe him that much.

Shanthi, Apologies for the delayed reply, i have been travelling. I think 5 is too young to send a child away. Of course they suffer separation anxiety and a whole host o f other issues. I myself went to boarding
school only at 15. Look for an alternative school where your c hild can be a day scholar perhaps?

Hello Uttara,
Thanks for this fascinating glimpse into the world of alternative education. I have always been inc lined towards suc h a way of learning, but always had one conc ern that the kids who come out of this system will not be
able to handle things like work pressures, competitive exams and environments, etc (I find it difficult myself and Im from a conventional educ ation system!)
So I was wondering if you c ould give me real life examples of people you know who have made it in the corporate world (while loving their jobs!) and also how did you feel when you had to start preparing for board exams
out of the blue in one of the higher grades.
Thanks,

Hi Uttara
Like so many others have already expressed, thanks for this post. Here is some background for a question Id like to ask: in these sc hools for admission there is a lot of emphasis on the parents what and why they care
about education. This process of examination requires critical thinking on the part of the parents and c lear articulation. Now comes the question: is not this approach re ally eliminating weak at artic ulation? Or in other words,
how can intentions of the parents be judged by answers to these questions? Does this process really identify parents with honest intentions? One of my friend went to exte nt of saying he would attempt it the way any
other interview or exam would be attempted look at patterns of suc cess and emulate. I know you are not running these schools, but thought of hearing what you think.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi,
I was just googling Rishi Valley Sc hool, and I stumbled across this blog. I just wanted to share my experience.
I went to Rishi Valley Sc hool when I was 8years old(4th std) and left when I was 11years old. I stayed there for a very brief period but the school has very fundamentally altered me. Many people say that putting children in
boarding schools when they are slightly older is a better option. I mostly agree with them. But since I was in Rishi Valley at suc h a young age, the education they have g iven me has impac ted me in a very root level. The
education I received there has left me with a feeling of non-conformity and isolation when I went bac k to the main stream sc hooling system. As a teenager I used to always be c onfused and miserable with the way my
thinking never seemed to match with any of my peers. I used to feel isolated. This confusion, eroded a lot of learning at the sc hool. I have had to rethink a lot, in the rec ent years about all the things I have learnt in my
time in main-stream sc hools. But irrespective of this tough time I faced in the so called real world, I will forever be indebted to my educ ation at Rishi Valley. Mayb e I havent been able to experience and internalize the
education at suc h a school to the maximum but the least that the school has done, is to give me the ability to question. Its a tough existenc e -to keep questioning every notion and bias that you have or see, but its better
than living in complac ency and quitely ac cepting things the way they are..
So, for any parents who care enough about their c hildrens education to the extent of sending them away to boarding schools, Ill say its worth it.

I never went to an alternative school in India. However, I did study across 3 different c ountries with vastly different teaching styles, approac hes and syllubuses. I must say that I have a healthy respect for what is
considered as alternative in India while in some countries is fairly mainstream! The mix of learning gave me a better undertstanding of the pros and c ons of each educ at ional system and in the alternative gave me an
immense sense of freedom, stoked a passion for the arts which will remain with me lifelong, broadened my horizons in a way no mainstream Indian school did and reinforc ed our familial motto of thinking for oneself.
I would completely agree with Amithabhs view about alternative education helping one c ompete with and bring out the best in oneself. However, do be aware that it may go the other way too if children are not sufficiently
motivated and challenged to give rise to a lac ksidasic al approac h to life.

Dear Uttara,
You might feel surprised getting a comment now, but you shouldnt. Youve given a wide, balanced perspective of alternative educ ation here in India, and it draws in anyone curious about this.
I have not been schooled in one myself. Although I loved my mainstream schooling to bits, I c an see how some people close to me, whove studied in alternative environment s, differ in their thinking. They just think, process,
evolve things quite differently. A close friend and my cousin, who Im close to, they both studied at Sahyadri School in Poona. While my c ousin, Paridhi, is younger than me, I feel our age differenc e is simply a biological fact.
Its wonderful talking with her, and my friend Ankita its freeing, sharing things, questions, frustrations with them. They have been quite non-judgmental, and have the beautiful ability to see the larger picture with
sensitivity.
Which brings me to a concern that many readers have voiced in these 97 comments
about whether children who have been schooled in suc h environments c an survive in the real world. While Paridhi and Ankita both
feel that their school sometimes felt like being in a bubble, their schooling gave them muc h in terms of being able to understand themselves, their strengths, their desires, their motivations. And this heightened sense of self
has helped them make dec isions, after school, which have worked beautifully for them. They have developed a sense of patienc e, with themselves, with the system they encou nter after school, and this has helped them
follow their hearts with balanc e, honesty and strength.
I have gone to a mainstream school myself, and I have seen the long-term damage that fear-based and immediate-result oriented teaching c an do. More than three quarters of my school friends chose to do engineering
after school, and in their third or fourth year, felt deeply disillusioned with they were heading. Many of them are now in unsatisfying jobs, bec ause they have not had th e c hanc e to think for themselves and make an
informed, intelligent, confident (and sometimes, self-c onsenting) dec ision at any period in their life sc hooling, c ollege, work.
I loved sc hool bec ause I had wonderful teachers, and also because thankfully, my parents did not insist on getting good results, but simply on doing my best. I was also lucky to have gone to a wonderful college, where I
met many other alternatively schooled people.
Many of my school friends have not been so lucky. I feel pained when I see them, theyre all my age. Were in our young 20s and already feel weary and regretful.
Not that alternative sc hooling is the panacea for all ills, and is the sole reason why you will graduate as a more open, sensitive, balanced individual but the environment it provides, as opposed to a mainstream school,
definitely makes that possibility a much, muc h stronger one.
I was wondering, Uttara, if you could help me with this I would like to teach in an alternative space. I dont have teaching experienc e, but I deeply enjoy being with y oung children and I was hoping to find out more about
how I c an bec ome a teac her in a school like Sahyadri. Do you think I could write to them, or visit them and try and understand what theyre looking for, how it works? If you know of anybody who has joined alternative
schools as teachers, it would be really helpful if you could tell me how they approac hed the school, what they did.

This is a new Krishnamurti Foundation school that is in its 4th year. There are some departures that the school is attempting in terms of size, environmental practices and the symmetry in the roles of the teacher and

You could put your children in a school that hammers them into assembly-line produc ts. Or you could c hoose an education that nurtures your children into c reative, sensitive individuals.
My son is four and half year old now & studying in Aramba Montessori, Rajajinagar, Bangalore. I am happy & satisfied with my dec ision of putting my son in to alternative educ ation system. He is learning things with study
materials of Montessori method & techniques. We can make out that he is learning thins with lot of joy, ease & without pressure. It is not c orrect to compare the kids, but we c an see lot of differenc e between him & his
mainstream school friends.
But as discussed in the article, there are not many options available in terms of schools near your area of residenc e & the education system is quite expensive. But, thes e are all small hurdles. I am sure no parent will mind
for the sake of their childrens.
The present Montessori school my son is studying is only up to U KG. I am worried what to do after 2015. I am looking to continue my son in the same Montessori method or alternative education system up to 10th. Can
someone suggest me any good alternative school towards Nagarabhavi, Bangalore. I dont mind 8 to 10 Kms in & around Nagarabhavi.

Hi Uttara,
You have covered lot of details for anxious parents who are weighing their options of whether to admit their wards in residential sc hools or not.
My daughter also studies in Mumbai and though I have a few years to go before she turns 9, we have started our research already. For us, The Sahyadri school near Pune is best suited.
Being an alumni of one of these K-sc hools, as is apparent your experienc e has been wonderful. I have a few questions though .
As parents, we want her to have an all-round education which even these premier sc hools in Mumbai dont offer. Or rather life skills which encourage thinking and unleashe s your hidden talents. She is doing
well at her school but I feel she is restricted to her school activities/ ac ademic s and other activity classes. So, we are thinking in the direction of K-schools.
1. What I want to ask is, what did you go though when your parents decided that you would go there? How was your first year? Although, everyone would have different reaso ns of coming there and feel
differently how did your fellow students feel.
2. Since girls and boys stay at the same facility, how is the interaction between them, especially in higher standards? As parents, we are very c oncerned about growing up adolesc ent years of our wards.
How is sexual tensions and problems managed by sc hool authorities?
3. How difficult or easy is it to get through, the intake in 4th grade being very less? You must be aware the sad sc enario of admission process to Mumbai schools. Hope experienc e of getting in K-school is
no-where close to that :)). Do parents try year after year? Why do kids get rejec ted?
I want to be in a better position to understand my child and address any anxiety she may face. Also, the better prepared we are, the more seamless everything will be. The pluses are that she is very
flexible, already very independent c omparatively and enjoys new experienc es.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Anushka

The write up is quite informative, especially for the parents who are actively exploring whether or not to send their c hild to one suc h sc hool.
We too like Shripriya, understand the importance of being able to face the challenges of the real world once the student is out of the sc hool.
The endeavour currently is to send our kid to a KFI sc hool in Class 5, RVS or RBS. Thankful to hear from someone about Rajghat Besant Sc hool (RBS)
Dear Author, please advise would it be worthwhile to send the kid to an alternate school. Though you have c overed issues at length in your blog still we wish to be reas sured as parents that suc h schools do give due
