"Jungle Mein School, Dil Se Cool! Aashi Forest Skool Brings Nature, Not Notebooks, to Pune’s Little Stars"
Pune, May 4: At a time when children are glued to screens and boxed inside four walls, Aashi Forest Skool in Pune is rewriting the rules of education — bringing kids back to where they belong: under open skies, among trees, soil, water, and sunshine. Founded by veteran educator Deipali, Aashi offers a unique, holistic alternative where nature itself becomes the classroom.
A Learning Space Where Nature Is the Teacher
At Aashi, learning unfolds through the five elements — earth, water, fire, air, and ether — sparking curiosity and creativity. Children walk barefoot on soft earth, play with water, craft with natural clay, and explore the world through all five senses. The campus is proudly plastic-free and sustainable, offering a sensory-rich antidote to sterile, screen-heavy classrooms.
Science-Backed. Child-Led. Joy-Fueled.
Rooted in neuroscience and child development, Aashi’s approach honors each child’s unique pace and passions. Forget rote learning and stressful exams — here, education happens through play, storytelling, exploration, and real-world projects, nurturing emotional resilience and genuine confidence.
Global Best Practices, Rooted in India
Blending the creativity of Reggio Emilia (Italy), the independence of Swedish education, and India’s deep connection to nature, Aashi ensures children build global skills while staying rooted in cultural traditions — making learning both meaningful and joyful.
The 5Cs: Nurturing Future-Ready Kids
Rather than chasing test scores, Aashi’s 5C Framework — Compassion, Competency, Communication, Collaboration, and Connection — guides every activity. From woodworking and gardening to group storytelling, children grow into thoughtful, mindful, and collaborative individuals ready to shape a better world.
