A Holistic Approach To Curriculum
Admissions Open - Limited Seats
The Heartism Curriculum, developed by Nandini Santhanam, forms the foundation of learning at Samarpan. It is designed to honor each child’s natural rhythm, nurture emotional well-being, and build essential life skills in a way that is meaningful and practical.
This curriculum integrates:
Practical Life Skills – Engaging children in daily tasks that promote independence, such as self-care, cooking, and home management.
Cultural and Artistic Exploration – Celebrating traditions, storytelling, folk arts, and music to create a rich learning environment.
Vocational Engagement – Hands-on training in skills like weaving, gardening, and bouquet-making to develop confidence and purpose.
Sensory and Emotional Awareness – Movement-based activities, rhythm exercises, and mindfulness practices to support regulation and self-expression.
Community and Social Learning – Encouraging real-world experiences like visiting a supermarket to buy groceries, interacting with vendors, and handling money to build confidence in daily interactions.
Practical Academics – Designed to provide the academic skills needed for functioning effectively in the world, focusing on practical applications of knowledge. For children pursuing formal education, NIOS subjects are carefully selected to align with their learning pace and interests, ensuring they develop both academic knowledge and real-life application.
At Samarpan, we do not separate vocational training or academics from life skills—they are woven together as a natural extension of learning, ensuring every child gains confidence in navigating life.

As and when required personalized attention would also be given to every child.
