Evaluation of the child
Our Sadvidya Curriculum focuses on the Panchakosha development. Development of all aspects of the individual ensures that the individual leads a life of fulfillment and satisfaction. This also ensures that the child develops to be a healthy and happy individual at all levels. This can also serve as a framework for evaluating the growth in the children. The growth in the child can be observed by the shifts in the Panchakosha. This is the Report card that children get which is holistic.

Swami Vivekananda said "Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man". However, we see that many young people who go through or come out of the educational process feel imperfect, unfulfilled and less confident. The "rasa" in education seems to be lacking.
The purpose of life was looked at through the lens of the Purushartha: Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. The questions “Why do we do what we do” was answered through the Purushartha. Each of the words has several meanings but here we will look at simple relatable meanings. Dharma represents duty, responsibility and sustainability. Artha represents meaning, prosperity and wealth. Kama represents desire and pleasure. Moksha represents liberation and freedom.
Let us take an example. Education can be taken for the larger well-being of the society or to get a job or to just enjoy. A student or teacher who looks at coming to the school as a fun activity imbibes education very differently from someone who has a larger purpose to education. Hence, when Dharma guides our actions, it benefits the society and the environment. Leading a life based on the Purushartha ensures that we are ethical, eco-friendly, socially conscious, empathetic, compassionate and self-motivated.
Subjects
Sanskrit
Sanskrit is the most structured languages in the world and resembles Mathematics in many ways. Its grammatical rules and sentence structures are more like mathematical equations which are to be derived from learned formulas, and not memorized. To speak or write Sanskrit, one must make quick decisions and perform these grammatical derivations in one's head. Furthermore, students must memorize a large number of shlokas and stotras for learning to create Sanskrit literature. One of the benefits of learning Sanskrit early is getting used to different sound patterns. Sanskrit language exposes learners to the grapheme–phoneme or sound-symbol combination in a very logical manner and as such enables the pronunciation of all different kinds of sounds.
Chanting
James Hartzell is a neuroscientist who coined the term “The Sanskrit Effect”. He reports that Indian tradition holds that rigorously memorising and reciting mantras enhances memory and thinking. He found the grey matter in Vedic Pandits to be denser and the cortex thicker than in ‘controls’, and the hippocampus regions, associated with long- and short-term memory was more pronounced. While rote learning without understanding was discouraged, learning by memory was very much encouraged.
Matrubasha
Matrubasha, or the mother tongue, plays a crucial role in early childhood education by enhancing comprehension, emotional expression, and cognitive development. At Bala Gurukulam, we focus on nurturing this connection through fun and engaging activities such as padyas, letter writing, and reading exercises. These activities not only help children build a strong foundation in their language but also foster cultural pride and identity, making learning enjoyable and meaningful. Through playful methods, we ensure that children develop language skills naturally, with joy and confidence.
Yoga and Pranayama
Fostering the spirit of joy and playfulness in children is crucial as it sets the foundation for their future positive attitude. Physical activities are essential during their formative years for their overall development. Activities that fuel their explorative and playful nature, such as peer interaction, outdoor play, and interaction with nature, contribute to their physical, mental, and emotional growth. Playing the right games and sports instills positive values in children, such as healthy competition, a well-formed identity, sharing, and the courage to face their fears. Integrating simple yogic practices into their daily routine can be a robust solution, with practices such as breathing exercises and stretching taught in a playful manner.
English and Math
The way we designed is mostly multi-sensorial, that follows a VAKT approach. That is it involves visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile senses to help learn individual letters, build upon blends followed by words and sentences. We teach a lot of value and Indian history based stories for children through English. Activities like labelling, sequencing, matching, sorting, grouping, classification helps in cognitive development of the child and creativity. Teaching numbers, calculations, geometry, shapes and daily calculations with Indic activities is a lot of fun for children.
Integrated Sciences, Arts & Crafts
India was an economic powerhouse for almost two millennia, powered by a cohesive and value-positive society empowered by rich knowledge traditions. Children need to know that India has a history of refined civilizational practices and scientific developments. To introduce preschoolers (ages 3 to 5) to Indian Knowledge Systems, relevant vocabulary and fundamental concepts should be taught first. This will pave the way for later introduction to Ayurveda, Bharatiya Ganita, Nakshatra Vidya, Paristhiti Vijnana, Itihasa, and Niti. Lot of activity based learning is introduced for child to learn world around and their own body.
Shramdan and prayer
Children are also taught to keep things around them organised to develop the habit of keeping their life organised. Children are taught to pray everyday to develop the attitude of gratitude to God, Gurus and their parents. A persons happiness solely depends on the way he or she perceives life with good Samskaras. Children are taught qualities that help them to excel and contribute in life for themselves and the whole world.
