Parent’s View
Anweshana means “Search after”,
“seeking for” and “inquiry into”. As
the name suggests, “Anweshana
Montessori House of children” lead
us into a new space in education.
Anweshana guided us to ‘search
after’ new boundaries in the
holistic way of looking at life with
our children.
With Anweshana we learned a lot.
We saw two of our children grow
as independent, confident, caring,
calm and composed human beings.
Anweshana taught our children
“how to learn” in the true sense of
what education is supposed to do.
With Anweshana, we have become
true believers of Dr Maria
Montessori and the Montessori
Method of education. We
experienced our children’s
foundation becoming strong and
saw them better adapt to any
changes in their living
environment. We can confidently
say that our children are more
matured, confident, selfdisciplined,
joyful and playful than
any other children of the same age
group of other traditional
methodology of teaching. Our
children have grown academically,
emotionally and socially strong.
When it comes to adaptation to
change, which is very much
required in the changing world, we
realize that Montessori is the best
methodology to prepare the child.
Our seventeen years of connection
with Anweshana taught us to
believe that Bharathi is this
century’s Maria Montessori and she
breathes Montessori in the true
sense and leads Anweshana
implementing Montessori ideology
to the fullest.
Along with Montessori ideology,
Anweshana cares to educate
children on ‘caring for mother
earth’ and ‘green environment’.
Every year’s Mela themes are
evident to this. Anweshana also
tries to mould children on
Becoming Minimalist. The way
Anweshana organizes their annual
Mela, field trips, garage sale,
child’s birthday celebrations are
illustrative of this. Charging
nominal fees and following “Right
to Education” long before the
actual Act (enacted in 2009) itself
is Anweshana’s, in turn, Bharathi’s
service to the society and
humanity.
We are really grateful and
fortunate for getting involved and
connected with such a holistic
school and to see our children
flourish to their fullest through
this. On the occasion of
Anweshana completing 25 years of
its journey, our heartfelt wishes for
Anweshana to serve humanity
many more years with its own
ideologies and footprints, and
become one of its kind.

My experience in Art class
Arpitha aunty takes our art classes
at our school. We work individually
most of the time. She gives us
creative topics to draw, sometimes
we will have to work in pairs. Once
the topic was to draw about a
mirror of any shape and decorate
the frame using our creativity.
Another day she gave us a topic on
festivals, Jahnavi, Malavika and I
drew about Diwali. I along with
Jahnavi drew a girl holding
sparklers and Malavika drew lamps.
I love art class because I feel very
relaxed and creative.
