Parents’ Testimonials
“Our daughter and son have spent their primary years of education (7-8 years each) very happily at Deepanam school. Their learning was quite holistic which was not just academic but also with many different activities and projects such as dramas and presentations, through which they have developed self-confidence. The school has an inclusive culture like one big family where children can grow safely and freely.
We feel very grateful for the dedicated teachers and school staff who make this all possible.”
Tomoko, Ren’s Parent
“Unstructured structure is what Deepanam seems, as the parent of a 14-year-old. It has helped my child broaden her outlook about her own education and it has done so on a multi-perspective level. While keeping academics at an age-appropriate level, the school seems to persevere in ensuring the availability of a myriad number of activities and experiences to all its students on a consistent and regular basis.
All thanks to the amazing team of Deepanam that is committed to being child focussed.”
Prajnya, Aneeka’s Parent

“My son has been in Deepanam for the last 5 years. As I see, the most important contributor to his growth have been the teachers. All the teachers are honest, hard-working, gentle, kind, and caring. My son and his classmates are very lucky to get such unique teachers as Mahavir, Bhakti, Shaalini, Priti, Narmada, and others.
I am very grateful to the dedicated teachers and school staff for all their great love and support”

“My experience with Deepanam has been a very positive one. My son has felt embraced by the school, which is not so big as to be overwhelming. The campus is well developed and art, clay, gardening and so on are integrated with the curriculum. The teachers have really given the kids the feeling of being part of an extended family.
Like in other Auroville schools there is Awareness Through the Body and so on, which I think is very useful as it is not just about picking up skills but about learning to know oneself and others deeply.”
Petra, Oliver’s Parent
“Deepanam is a journey of learning together for the child as well as the parent. The intentionally created environment at Deepanam for the younger groups invites the children to engage in diverse ways – academic learning, craft, clay, body awareness etc. This helps the children in learning about themselves and empowers them to explore fearlessly.
For children, this is a place for discovery and it is fulfilling to see them blossom in the discovery. I feel I am also learning as a parent through the association with Deepanam.”
