In a span of two days, over 750 students from class I – IX painted the campus walls in various forms of art, expressing their vision of the school for the coming decade.

Catering to this demand, Lodha World School aims at creating and facilitating future innovators and break through thinkers, who can think beyond the four walls of the classroom, we were awarded as No. 1 for being the Holistic Education School by Education Today magazine.”

         

We have constantly endeavored to bring the inner self of every child through the key markers of the school- design thinking, emotional wellness, environmental consciousness and symbiotic learning.”

The school was a carnival where students were seen displaying various arts on the school walls, preschool students danced with parachute on the campus, preparing for winter festival and other students in the classrooms attended TilGud making workshops for Makar Sankranti. The engagement and activities are a true testament to Lodha World School’s philosophy of nurturing a cohesive eco system and culture. The study module promotes critical analysis, learning through innovation and empowers pupils with advanced learning tools giving education an exciting and dynamic direction.
