Svadhyaya

About

Kids always surprise us with their questions. The idea for Svadhyaya actually came from a kid asking why adults get more freedom. That made us want to create a place where curiosity isn’t just allowed – it’s the whole point. Here, learning doesn’t have to be by the book. Sometimes we just go with the flow and see where a kid’s question takes us.

What Happens in Our Camps

Our workshops and camps change through the year - especially when school’s out. Whether it’s summer fun or a quick holiday break, you’ll see a mix of art, music, movement, and a big focus on sustainability. Some days it’s clay, fireless cooking, or old-school Indian games. Other days, it could be science experiments, making circuits, or even just messy art with natural colours. We do a lot of hands-on stuff – experiential learning for kids is really at the heart of it. Sensory play workshops, math games (yes, math can be fun), reading camps, or just letting kids build something wild – it’s always about exploring, not just ticking boxes.

How We Do It

• Small groups, lots of one-on-one time
• Mixed ages – everyone learns from each other
• We keep things earth-friendly: no chemicals, no plastics. We make our own colours from flowers and reuse stuff
• Our Jayanagar space has a rooftop, bouldering wall, and cozy corners for whatever the day brings
• We often invite other passionate educators to join in, so there’s always something fresh

This is a place for families who want learning to feel real, not forced. Let’s see where curiosity takes us.
