Aatman Academy’s Mission
To provide a joyful, safe and inclusive learning environment to learners with diverse learning needs so that they can learn at their pace, using their unique learning style and thereby bringing out the best in themselves.
Our core beliefs at Aatman Academy
All children can learn.
All children have their own special pace at which they learn.
All children can learn when provided with the most conducive learning environment.
To learn well, children need a "learning" environment and not a "teaching" environment.
Children need a guide by their side who can help them through the "journey of learning".
At Aatman we facilitate children's learning.
Assessment FOR learning and not assessment OF learning.
Inclusion happens only when children feel that they belong ! Aatman Academy is a place where every learner gets a deep sense of belonging.
Fusion of the 6 Fundamental Underpinings of the Curriculum
Focused
The Aatman Academy’s customized learning programme is highly focused and caters to individual learning needs and personal learning styles and also provides in-built remediation therapy and counselling inputs.
Friendly
“ After I came to Aatman, for the first time in my life I got real friends!”
Ask any student… who has been at Aatman for five hours or five years, what is it that they like the most about the academy and pat comes the answer “Everyone is so friendly. I never get stressed here!”. And this feeling we believe comes from the genuine respect that is maintained for one and all, respect for diversities and respect for uniqueness!

Freedom
This can be defined in many different ways but the most significant form of freedom that Aatman helps its students with is “the freedom to be their own self!” Happy to be ME is the underlying tone of every learner at Aatman!
First-hand
Learning by doing is the best and the most effective way of learning. The academy believes in transacting all classes through the experiential or hands-on method where children drive their own learning through research and presentations. A combination of the IBL -UDL approaches makes the learning rich and robust and well rounded!
Functional
Everything that students learn at Aatman is Functional and deeply impacts their lives today and their existence in the future. We ensure that children see the direct or indirect connection of whatever they learn with their daily routines and their lifestyles!
Our programme borrows heavily from the 12 life skills proposed by the WHO.

Fun
The word says it all! Be it a Math class or a dance movement therapy session, be it a thinking skills period or a History lesson…..learning at Aatman…no matter what it may be, is always fun and that also means tension free! And then there is RIO, Aatman’s very own therapy dog. With him around the campus everyday…there’s never a dull moment!
