Lodha World School
Crea ng Leaders of Tomorrow
Lodha World School, under the aegis of the Sitaben Shah Memorial Trust and our Chairman
Mrs. Manju Lodha, has a broad presence with one school in Thane, and two in the City of
Palava, Dombivli and mul ple campuses in the pipeline in Thane, Mira Road and Palava. These
high quality schools cater to residents in all the residen al communi es set up by Lodha.
As an organisa on that embraces a child-centred culture, it felt important to absorb a set of
values that resonates with all our stakeholders and loca on of the school not with
standing.
Lodha World School is a kaleidoscope of tradi on, culture, values, and ethnicity that empower pupils, parents and
educators to realise their poten al and enhance the lives of others.
The academic excellence thrives
at redefine learning experiences
for the students through a
dis nct culture and philosophy
which the school imbibe through
though ully cra ed markers.
These markers help students
embrace their individuality, their
rights and responsibili es and
learn with a smile on their face.
SYMBIOTIC LEARNING
Symbio c learning blurs the line between teachers, pupils and everyone
involved learns something valuable from it. Pupils and teachers develop a
mutually beneficial rela onship. We promote the learning experience in
various ways - Group discussions, project-based learning, collabora ve
learning using our collab sta on, providing pupils with the choice of
technology to be used for learning, experien al learning, problem solving
ac vi es using design thinking are a few of our methods to foster symbio c
learning.
EMOTIONAL WELLNESS
The schools support social and emo onal well-being, so typically we have negligible disciplinary issues, are able to focus
more on school work, and develop the skill to communicate be er. The format ensures integra on of Life skills, child
safety programmes, Vipashyana, Shramdaan etc. into the curriculum. The ins tu on has highly qualified counsellors,
remedial educators available in school to provide that extra care for our pupils, thus enhancing pupils' ability to succeed in
school and in their lives.
VASUNDHARA - SHARPENING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS
There is significant difference between environmental awareness and environmental consciousness. Lodha World
Schools have a Green School Policy designed that caters to the same. The students have an opportunity to conduct
environmental audits within the school premises under the guidance of teachers. This helps them evaluate and iden fy
environmental issues, try and bridge the gap, if any. The Green School Commi ee works relentlessly to make the schools
plas c free. Together they work towards, segrega on of waste, recycling waste materials, increasing the flora and fauna
of the school, organising cleanliness campaigns, plan ng saplings around.
DESIGN THINKING
The ra onale behind design thinking as a pedagogy aims at crea ng and
facilita ng future innovators and breakthrough thinkers. It is about crea ng
crea ve and collabora ve workflows engineered to tackle problems and
prototyping to discover new solu ons. At Lodha World Schools', with
students integra ng design thinking with core strength of experien al
learning, the level of engagement and ownership of learning is excep onal.
While pupils are learning the specific knowledge set required to develop a
relevant and buildable solu on, they're also developing highly valuable skills
such as empathy, the ability to collaborate, to deal with ambiguity, and, of
course, to create.
At Lodha World Schools, we wish to become a force to reckon within educa on, a brand with deep roots but a broad span
and girth.
