Based on the subtle and integrated principles of Truth, Peace and Simplicity of the Gandhian philosophy, the Mahatma Gandhi Mission Schools are a space for free expression with mutual respect and affection. The schools welcome students from diverse backgrounds and invite them to blend into the universal spirit of humanity. The well-being of every child is prioritized and (s)he is scaffolded to ‘Be the Best (s)he Can’.

The environment at MGM Schools is infused with positivity and happiness where children are continually imbibing and emulating the fourfold sutras of Compassion, Knowledge, Strength and Spirituality. These sutras harness the growth of the child in the school and beyond. 

The various aspects of the philosophy of MGM Schools are depicted in the ‘Wheel of Life’, as adapted from Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of Satyagraha. The ‘Wheel of Life’ rotates at a uniform pace balancing the various elements of growth and development in the child. The key reason WHY a child needs to build Compassion, Knowledge, Strength and Spirituality is to enrich the ‘Panchkoshas’ ^* which are the five sheaths of the Self. These koshas are – ‘Annamaya’ (Physical sheath), ‘Pranmaya’ (Energy sheath), ‘Manomaya’ (Mental sheath), ‘Vigyanmaya’ (Intellect sheath) and ‘Anandmaya’ (Bliss sheath). The ‘Panchkoshas’ help the child in aligning to the path of ‘Truth, Peace and Simplicity’. By practising these values, WHAT the child gains is Competence, Mindfulness, Wellness and a Spirit of Service. The HOW of the processes is an integration of daily practices rooted in Gandhian Philosophy, chalked out meticulously to make the end objective of ‘Panchkosha Vikas’ a reality.

*’Taittreya Upanishad’ describes the concept of five sheaths of existence called ‘Panchkosha’.
