đĸ Hello all, we have an announcement to makeâĻ
Weâve chosen a very different path when it comes to educating our daughter â one that flows outside the walls of a classroom and deep into life itself.
đą Weâre embracing a blended journey of homeschooling and unschooling, guided not just by books, but by play, rhythm, values, and curiosity.
Iâm Ranita â a teacher by profession â and along with my partner an IT Analyst Nilanjan, weâve stepped away from the conventional schooling system to raise our daughter in a way that nurtures character over competition, creativity over conformity, and presence over pressure.
đ So what is homeschooling and unschooling?
âĸ Homeschooling means our child learns at home â but that doesnât mean itâs limited to home. Itâs flexible, intentional, and tailored to her needs.
âĸ Unschooling trusts the childâs natural curiosity to guide her learning â without rigid syllabi, bells, or comparisons.
đ¨ For us, learning happens while dancing, gardening, helping in the kitchen, asking questions, solving real-life problems, exploring art, and just being.
đ§ As a teacher, I (Ranita) witnessed how early education often forgets the child in the race for performance. We wanted to protect our daughterâs spark, and give her the space to evolve at her own rhythm â without the anxiety, labels, or limitations.
đĄ This decision isnât anti-school. Itâs pro-child.
We believe education should build not just a career, but character, conscience, and joy.
