Mirambika School

The Mirambika School, established in 1981, is a co-educational institution located on the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in south Delhi. It is an experimental innovative school, which follows the integral education sytem formulated by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. It is not affiliated with any exam board and offers education until class X with students writing the exam conducted by the National Institute of Open Schooling.

Says a school spokesperson: “Integral means total: our system is called integral because it addresses the totality of the being. We seek to educate not only the body, the emotions and the intellect but also work towards making these instruments function in light of our divine essence, the psychic being. The psychic being is the pivot around which the education of the surface instruments revolves. Thus, integral education differs from holistic education in that it does not treat each aspect of education as a component, but looks upon the head, hands and heart as the instruments that are interconnected, and when linked to the divine essence these instruments reveal an amazing latent potential.”
