Arts and Humanities
At Envision High we believe that no two people learn the same way. Some learn their math through art while some learn critical thinking through technology. Hence, we do not focus on textbooks and tests. We bring art coupled with humanities to the students by ‘Reading the World’ to them. This simply means students are encouraged to use their imaginative & creative inquiry into what it means to be human. We ensure that our students use all their senses and faculties to discover and learn about the world. It helps them understand the world better, imbibes values that help them negotiate better with and thrive in it.

Frameworks, not Boxed Solutions
Our students don’t have template solutions; they have frameworks that allow them to think about a problem in a 360° manner and come up with creative solutions.
Values for Life
Our students do not graduate with a herd mentality; they each have a value system that has been nourished and evolved and will abide by them through their lives.
A Leader for Everyday
