Today’s social media landscape is filled with
memes and posts highlighting how outdated school education was decades ago,
particularly in terms of preparing students for real life. Many discussions
point out that traditional education often overlooks essential concepts like
setting boundaries in relationships and managing personal finances, which are
crucial in today’s world.
Stellar believes in preparing children for life beyond grades,
empowering them to become curious, resilient global citizens with life literacy
skills to seize opportunities.
The Stellarworld School’s
Bandra, Andheri, and Goregaon campuses are thoughtfully positioned to provide
exceptional accessibility for families across Mumbai. Mr. Jesus Lall, Chairperson of the Board of Advisors at Stellar, emphasises, "Empowering our children with the
life skills they need to navigate the global landscape and become future
leaders is our unwavering commitment. We're dedicated to making this journey
enriching and experience-driven for every child while setting new benchmarks in
education infrastructure that seamlessly align with Stellar's academic
vision." The plan for three campuses ensures easy access for children
in Mumbai, limiting travel to 30 minutes and promoting a well-rounded,
fulfilling life through convenience.
The school is so much more than
a place for education. It is a vibrant community of like-minded people who
support the school’s purpose. Dr. April Yetsko, Head of School, Stellar Bandra,
expressed, “We are a community of
learners where each learner’s growth, interests and passions are embraced.
School is a place for one to feel safe and learn together the skills that are
required to be successful in the communities and beyond.” This
collaborative spirit among students, parents, and educators strengthens the
commitment to developing holistic, life-ready individuals who thrive in diverse
environments.
Stellar recognises the
environment's impact on learning, offering world-class infrastructure with
diverse facilities like pools, artificial turf fields, indoor play areas, and
all-weather playspaces to help students explore their passions and talents.
Mr. Martyn Shadbolt, Head of
School, Stellar Andheri, explains, “The infrastructure is created to aid life
literacy. A combination of purpose-built
physical spaces and internal and external expertise enables the holistic
integration of sports and physical activities into the curriculum. The
school promotes overall well-being, empowering students to perform at their
best in a dynamic urban environment like Mumbai.”
Stellar's philosophy is built
around the imperative that learning should shape students and prepare them for
life. Their life-literacy framework is integrated with the curriculum and
exposes every child to 12 essential life skills. It sparks adaptability,
creativity, and resilience—the qualities needed the most in today's constantly
changing world.
Miss Annette Austin, Head of
School, Stellar Goregaon, highlights the importance of practical application, “What does preparation for life mean?
Learning compound interest is one thing, but implementing it in our lives is
another.” This perspective underscores the school’s commitment to ensuring
students grasp concepts and understand real-world implications.
Stellar is dedicated to building a progressive society by preparing
learners for the future. With international academic standards, comprehensive
learning, and advanced facilities, it cultivates confident, life-literate
individuals ready to thrive.
