About Sandepani School

Sandepani school is a self-governing school founded in 2004 with a holistic, research based and stress-free approach to education and skill development . While following ICSE ( India ) and IGCSE (Cambridge, UK) academic curriculum, Sandepani facilitates conceptual education, creative thinking and stress free academic interventions through its meticulously researched and its highly experimental environment.

Sandepani was one of the first schools in India to adopt continuous comprehensive evaluation of students at its inception in 2004. This experiment was quite ahead of its time and was met with strong resistance from the parent community who wanted the continuation of the conventional educational approaches meant to solely obtain results for examinations. This concept was later introduced in 2008 Right to Education (Amendment) Act for all CBSE schools in India. However, CCE was a failure in India. The original intent and the best CCE models of the world was to make individual roadmap for the children through continuous observation of the strengths and weakness of the children. In this way, the creativity of a child can be assessed and the best of the child brought by individually providing the child with the exposures he/she requires. This however was not followed in India. Instead of utilizing it as an opportunity for studying the children, CCE was interpreted by schools as subjecting the children to continuous examinations. This defeated the very purpose of the Act and enshrined the centrality of examination further. Experts agree that another reason why continuous comprehensive evaluation failed its objective was because of the large number of children in a class which makes it impossible for individual attention. Sandepani is one of the very few institutions which has the best CCE approaches in the country, modeled after years of expertise in creating strategies for children.
