Many thanks to the EW Grand Jury for the prized
Nature-friendly School Award 2021-22. In AIS, we
“are committed to providing stimulating learning
environments that bring young learners closer to nature.
Indeed, Nature is at the very core of our curriculum
that stimulates inquiry-based learning through play
and hands-on discovery. In AIS, tiny tots are taught to
plant saplings and nurture them in the school’s special
green patch. They are also taught to switch off lights
and fans and turn off taps when not in use. Moreover,
skits and plays based on Nature are routinely organised.
Children are also encouraged to carry placards with
strong messages on environment conservation at mock
awareness rallies within school premises” — Reema
Ganguly, principal, Amarjyoti International School
(pre-primary school), Bhavnagar (360 students and
28 teachers)

Thanks to the EW Grand Jury for honouring us with
the Outstanding Leadership Award 2021-22. This
“is acknowledgement of our efforts to develop an
inclusive, caring and culturally responsive Vedant School
community. I am glad our continuous efforts to innovate,
integrate and implement best ECCE practices into our
curriculum and upskill teachers have been recognised.
We are committed to providing continuously improving
foundational early childhood education that will prepare
our young learners for the future” — Rutvi Vyas (centre

Ahmedabad (600 students and 45 teachers)
