Holistic Education
An educational philosophy that develops the whole child — intellectual, emotional, social, physical, creative — rather than only academic performance.
In a holistic school, the sports field, the art room, the assembly stage and the science lab carry the same weight. Yajur Public School builds holistic development into the timetable via music, dance, karate, skating and project work alongside academic subjects.
