The idea for Vaikuntham began in 2018 and our first school was opened in 2020. Our vision is for a family of schools based upon our core principles of educational excellence, character formation and spiritual insight.
We have all been pupils, at one stage or another and lifelong learning is inbuilt into our culture and our expectations. But the quality of this education can vary enormously, and children get only one opportunity to have an enriching and inspiring education. Vaikuntham is committed to providing an education which opens doors and lets the future in, which establishes the foundations for future achievements and opportunities in our multicultural society for all children.
But we are ambitious and aim to do more: to inculcate an enthusiasm for learning and the fostering of a sense of curiosity about the world; to develop in our students a capacity to initiate and respond to change; to promote in them a sense of caring, compassion and responsibility for self and others; to encourage an independence of mind and the capacity to think for oneself.
When we achieve these aims, we understand and fulfill each child’s capacity and potential, so that they are equipped to explore different options and to take risks. Above all, we seek to offer an education which is liberating and fun, to enable our students to take control of their own lives and help make the world a better and more humane place.
