The Integral School
The Integral School aspires to evolve a system of integral education by creating conditions that inspire the children and the teachers alike to discover for themselves the purpose of life and what role they want to play in it. Developing the mental (mind), Vital (seat of all emotions), and Physical (the body) in the guiding light of the Psychic (the inmost or the innermost self) is the mainstay of integral education.
