The Aavahan Difference
Why parents choose us over tuition or coaching
Thoughtful, whole-child work designed by a Teach For India alum and ex-Google founder who has led curriculum at LEAD School and researched SEL at TISS.
Whole-Child Inner & Cognitive Development
We grow the inner world and thinking world together—emotions, identity, habits, reasoning, creativity—so children feel safe inside and strong in how they learn.
Evidence-Based, Experience-Rich Pedagogy
Designed by Komal’s decade in education: Teach For India, curriculum leadership at LEAD School, and a Masters at TISS researching SEL in government schools.
Warm, Trust-Led, Founder-Driven Experience
You meet the founder, not a faceless brand. Expect honest conversations, careful observation, and a partner who treats your child like her own students.
The 4 Worlds
We awaken four worlds inside every child
Inner world, thinking world, learning world, and creative world — the foundations for confidence, clarity, and curiosity.
Inner
How your child feels inside and responds to big emotions.
Thinking World
How your child thinks, reasons, and solves problems.
Learning World
How your child learns, focuses, and owns their work.
Creative World
How your child imagines, makes, and expresses ideas.
