Character Education

Character building is one of the major educational goals we consider at Brihaspati. We believe that every student comes with innate skills, predispositions or character strengths. In order to help them further these strengths, teachers work as mentors and follow an individual-based, reflective, and goal-oriented approach so that students are empowered to choose and work towards achieving their individual character goals. Support from parents and relevant school authorities is taken whenever necessary.
Some of the character strengths we focus includes:
-Gratitude -Hope -Prudence -Integrity -Persistence -Love of Learning -Social Intelligence -Self-Regulation

Non-Violent Communication

Being aware of the emotion of the self and that of others open doors to human needs and connection.
