Integral Education


Integral Education, as envisioned by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, regards the child as a growing soul and helps him to bring out all that is best, most powerful, most innate and living in his nature. It helps the child develop all facets of his personality and awaken his latent possibilities so that he acquires

- a strong, supple, healthy, beautiful body
- a sensitive, emotionally refined, energetic personality
- a wide-ranging, lively intelligence and will
- the subtler spiritual qualities that unify and harmonise the being around the child's inmost Truth or Soul.

The focus and emphasis in Integral Education (IE) is not just information and skills acquisition but also self-development, triggered from within the child and supported and nourished by teachers and parents. Every experience becomes a learning tool for the child in its growth. IE helps the child to integrate with its true Self, its surroundings, its society, its country and humanity; in other words, to become the complete being, the integral being that the child is meant to be.


INSTITUTE(s)

At Sri Aurobindo Foundation for Integral Education and Research (SAFIER), our vision is to promote an Integral Education which enables every individual, institution, and nation to realise their highest potential. We work towards making this vision a living reality, inspired and guided by the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.

​For Individuals: To prepare individuals to grow towards their own highest perfection, becoming a conscious force for building the earth’s luminous future.

For Institutions: To radically transform education by reshaping the collective institutional culture, creating spaces for self-discovery and growth.

For Nations and the World: To build a happier world rooted in unity and enriched by diversity, where every nation thrives in its true cultural essence in harmony with all others.

SAFIER collaborates with other educational institutions in India and abroad, in a supportive and sharing partnership.
