The Heritage School, Rohini

⚡ Summary for parents

• Overview: Established in 2002, The Heritage School, Rohini is a co-educational CBSE school on a 16,188 sq. m campus (about 4 acres) at Plot No. 8, Sector 23, Rohini, and is led by Principal Ms. Yakshi Gulati. • Learning approach: The school calls its method experiential learning — children learn by doing, questioning and reflecting rather than memorising. The curriculum is aligned with NEP 2020 and the NCERT frameworks and draws on Gandhi, J. Krishnamurti, John Dewey and Sri Aurobindo. • Values: Three ideals shape daily practice — Manthan (reflective inquiry), Samstha (the school as a community) and Prakriya (the process that turns the vision into classroom experience) — alongside six principles: attentiveness, authenticity, freedom to be, learn and grow, inclusion, respect and excellence. • The junior years (Pre-School to Grade III): wonder, sensory exploration and foundational literacy, with Global Systems Science, the Junior Makers Programme in Grades I to III, and theatre with Satvikam centring practice in Grade III. • Teachers: teachers work as facilitators, and the school says its educators take part in about 300 hours of professional development a year, including whole-school retreats and action research. • Well-being: the day opens with Quality Circle Time (breathing and emotional check-ins) and closes with Silence Time; the EQUBE curriculum covers life skills, and clinical psychologists and special educators prepare Individualised Educational Programmes when a learning difference is identified. • Nursery admission (2026-27): a 100-point system — 80 points within 8 km (70 above 8 km), 15 for a sibling studying in the school, 5 if a parent is an alumnus. 144 entry-level seats (101 Open, 36 EWS, 7 staff), a ₹25 online registration fee, no interview, no hard copies at registration, and automatic admission for the second twin. Tied scores go to a draw of lots. • Age: the child must be 3+ and under 4 as on 31 March — born between 1 April 2022 and 31 March 2023 for 2026-27 — with up to 30 days' relaxation on written request to the Principal.

✨ Unique things about the school

• Experiential learning as the core method: children learn by doing, questioning and reflecting, and the school treats childhood as a journey of self-discovery rather than preparation for adult life.
• Three guiding ideals: Manthan (reflective inquiry), Samstha (the school as a living community) and Prakriya (the methods that turn the vision into classroom practice).
• About 300 hours of teacher development a year, including whole-school retreats and action research, because teachers are expected to work as facilitators.
• Global Systems Science: an interdisciplinary science curriculum from the junior years that links natural phenomena, ecological balance and human responsibility.
• Junior Makers Programme (Grades I to III): hands-on tinkering that introduces science, technology, engineering and design thinking early.
• Quality Circle Time and Silence Time bookend the day — morning breathing and emotional check-ins, and a short period of quiet reflection before going home.
• Three reflective questions students ask themselves — Where am I now? Where do I want to be? What steps will bridge the gap? — in place of reward-and-punishment systems.
• Conceptual mathematics with Jodo Gyan in the middle years, where students even walk a full kilometre to feel what the unit means.
• Social Action Projects and CARE initiatives: Grade V plants and maintains campus herb gardens with Swechha, and senior students run UN Sustainable Development Goal projects, selling upcycled goods and reinvesting the proceeds.
• In-house support for learning differences: clinical psychologists assess and special educators prepare Individualised Educational Programmes.
• Global exposure in the senior years: a French exchange programme in Paris and the World Scholar's Cup, alongside board and olympiad preparation.
• Parent-friendly admissions: no interview of child or parent, no hard copies at registration, a ₹25 online fee, and the second twin admitted automatically if the first is selected.
