	~~==Approach, Methods and Curricula==~~

	~~Initially Isai Ambalam School was catering to the learning needs~~ of ~~young adults in~~ the ~~age group 8~~ to ~~15 years, who were dropouts from other learning establishments~~ and ~~came from the villages in the Auroville area. In course of time the school has evolved~~ to ~~comprise pre-school, primary~~ and middle sections. For the last 10 years the school has been successfully specializing in conducting experiments in education by adopting innovative, effective and comprehensive educational methods that make learning easier, faster, more joyous and holistic. In all these methods the ~~three cardinal~~ principles of education enunciated by Sri Aurobindo are very well incorporated, and all are based on joy, freedom, self-learning and ownership of learning. All of them create the most appropriate learning environment for the students, and all have further scope for improvisation and creativity.		The aim of the school is to support both children and teachers to reach their highest potential and to follow the principles of integral education.

	~~A separate learning programme for each student is designed. Each programme contains activities for~~ the ~~student to acquire development in the four aspects of: essential knowledge appropriate to one's level; special aptitude~~, ~~talent~~ and ~~inclination; psychological life skills; What further one wants~~ to do.		The school broadly follows the CBSE syllabus, and students can choose to continue with their 9th to 12th grade at [[New Era Secondary School]] (NESS).

	Isai Ambalam ~~is gradually creating conducive conditions~~ in ~~its learning/teaching environment whereby its students~~ and ~~teachers can become aware~~ of ~~the New Consciousness or Spiritual Consciousness or Grace acting all over Auroville~~, and ~~consciously access or invoke it for attaining their objectives in their school life~~.		Isai Ambalam has qualified and well trained teachers and many youth and volunteers. This includes 11 Engineers who work with the children in science, technology, programming, electronics and mathematics. The medium of instruction is English, but most teachers and classes are bilingual.

	~~===Pre-school===~~

	Essential knowledge content at the pre-school level includes 8 kinds of basic development. Creative and play activities for all the 8 kinds of basic development are daily given to the preschool children. These activities are woven around weekly or fortnightly themes like animal and bird habitats, festivals, living in different countries and similar ones.

	~~===Primary school===~~

	At the primary level, the school aims for the achievement of all the skills needed by the students for their self-directed learning. For this it is using the Rishi Valley Method or Activities-Based Learning Cards system which consists of a number of study cards containing learning activities to learn Tamil, English, mathematics and environmental science.

	~~===Secondary school===~~

	At the middle level, Thematic Project Works method, Savalae Samaali method based on Problem-Solving Approach, Bilingual Audio with Language Games method, Basic Sentence Structures method and Spiritual Methods are used for implementing the learning programme. A learning schedule is worked out for the contents that can be learnt by the students themselves with appropriate reinforcing activities and another for the contents that are to be learnt from the teacher. Every month a minimum of one Thematic Project Work or one Savalae Samaali challenge, and one Bilingual Audio story along with appropriate Language Games are designed and used to enhance and enliven the students’ learning.

	~~==Students==~~

	Altogether there are 115 students and 12 teachers in the school, which makes provisions for the students to receive education up to 10th standard level. All the students and teachers learn English. The school also serves as a training centre for teachers in its innovative educational methods.

'''Isai Ambalam''' ("Hall of Harmony" in Tamil) is a school for pre-school, primary and middle-school aged children from [[Kottakkarai]] and [[Alankuppam]] villages.

==History==

==Approach, Methods and Curricula==

Initially Isai Ambalam School was catering to the learning needs of young adults in the age group 8 to 15 years, who were dropouts from other learning establishments and came from the villages in the Auroville area. In course of time the school has evolved to comprise pre-school, primary and middle sections.

A separate learning programme for each student is designed. Each programme contains activities for the student to acquire development in the four aspects of: essential knowledge appropriate to one's level; special aptitude, talent and inclination; psychological life skills; What further one wants to do.

Isai Ambalam is gradually creating conducive conditions in its learning/teaching environment whereby its students and teachers can become aware of the New Consciousness or Spiritual Consciousness or Grace acting all over Auroville, and consciously access or invoke it for attaining their objectives in their school life.

===Pre-school===
