Swadhaa follows a unique approach to education, combining the principles of Indian Knowledge Systems with Waldorf pedagogy. This means that our hiring process is aligned with our core vision and intent—to create an environment where children are nurtured in reverence, educated with love, and set forth in freedom, as Rudolf Steiner envisioned."
Our Vision & Intent
"We are not just hiring teachers; we are looking for individuals who resonate deeply with our educational philosophy.
A Swadhaa teacher is not just an instructor but a guide who fosters intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth in children. This requires a deep understanding of child development, an ability to connect with children, and a passion for innovative, nature-connected learning.
We expect our teachers to embody qualities such as:
1. A deep understanding of child development.
2. A caring disposition and the ability to engage children in meaningful learning.
3. Passion for teaching, innovation, and enthusiasm for nature-based education.
4. Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
5. A willingness to undergo continuous training in Waldorf pedagogy and other creative teaching methodologies.
These are the qualities that shape the ethos of our school and ensure that our students receive an education that goes beyond textbooks."
Teacher Development & Growth
"At Swadhaa, education is more than academics—it’s about personal transformation. Our teachers go through continuous self-development, reflection, and creative activities like yoga, meditation, artistic practices, and hands-on skill development, such as gardening, knitting, music, and clay work etc.
We believe in lifelong learning, and our educators engage in global Waldorf training, seminars, and conferences to enhance their skills and expand their understanding. Even non-teaching staff participate in programs for their personal growth and well-being, ensuring a nurturing and refined environment throughout the school."
