The Orbis School, Mundhwa, Pune

The school's name, Orbis, which comes from orb, is a metaphor for the world. And our aim as educators is to groom students in harmony with global progress. As the world becomes increasingly flat, and cycles of change grow ever shorter, the ability to just keep up is no longer sufficient. Tomorrow's winners need to be able to bring the change rather than merely react to it. This is what we at the Orbis School empower our students for. The Orbis School aims to provide a stimulating environment and enriched curriculum, which promotes, curiosity, free thinking, articulating, discussing, debating and executing ideas in an environment of respect for pluralism. Evaluation will aim at providing comprehensive and credible feedback not only on academics and scholastic development but will also encompass qualitative judgment of attitudes, interests and ability to work independently. Parental and community participation shall be encouraged to give the larger world outside a role in influencing the learning process. The school forbids corporal punishment and believes in a system of correction through counselling and other corrective measures.
