Neohumanist Education (NHE) is firmly rooted in the
philosophy and principles of Neohumanism, which stands
for "the practice of love for all creation including
plants, animals, and the inanimate world" as
propounded by the Indian philosopher Shrii P.R. Sarkar.
NHE incorporates a harmonious blending of oriental
introversial philosophy and occidental extroversial
science. Its methodology is flexible, creative and
culturally sensitive, making it adaptable to different
cultures and parts of the world.
Neohumanist Education seeks to redefine the human
experience. Current educational practice works on
a model of the individual as a singular entity pitted
against the forces of the universe. Competition and
the need to dominate and control are the hallmarks
of this system.
Neohumanist Education rejects this vision of humanity
and proposes instead that we are all beings intimately
linked with the fabric of the universe. As such the
insecurities, born of alienation and loneliness that
drive our society become meaningless.
Neohumanist Education unleashes infinite learning
potential into our lives by expanding our understanding
of ourselves and our potential. Spirituality, creativity
and love are at the center of this new force.
Imagination, the power to conceive and enact wonderful
dreams, brings life and energy into the lives of teachers,
students and their families. And because we are no
longer isolated and alone in this process, because
we feel part of a universal family engaged in a universal
enterprise, we seek to affirm our kinship through
service to the universe.
