The Idea
In India, great emphasis is placed on developing the mental abilities of a child. Development of the physical aspects in most of our schools is, at best, addressed through "Physical Education" of "PE". There is an imbalance that is created due to this lop-sided view of child development. Mental and physical abilities go hand in hand and striking a good balance helps each of the abilities to take root and give the child a strong foundation to take on the complexities of living in our world.
KALS has been created by one of India's best known athletes - Ashwini Nachappa. Over the years Ashwini has come to represent that side of development that has been neglected. Her success has come against all the odds that the one-sided "mental" system places on a child. She has realized that her experience in developing both her physical as well as her mental abilities has stood her in good stead in going the distance of life.
KALS, therefore, takes in all the best practices of good "mental" schooling such as the ICSE curriculum, but adds the area of physical development through excellence in various sporting disciplines. Every child at KALS will through a balanced development program of studies as well as sports.
