  Description

  We are a Montessori educational Centre that has started a Farm School for adolescents aged 12-16 years. We offer completely alternative and holistic education, that integrates Studies through the work on the farm. We know of the importance of practical experiential learning, and also the importance of work on the land.
  The Students live, work and study together on the farm. Montessori's understanding is that students will gain not only knowledge but a "preparation for Adult Life".
  We are one of the first Montessori Farm Schools in India, with a great vision to grow and expand.

  Aide

  We are looking for support in developing our Farm, you would be very much welcomed if you have any experience in organic farming, permaculture, eco projects, or just gardening. We would also welcome any skills in building small constructions, woodwork, metalwork, and working with simple tools/machines. Further, any experience in arts or crafts would be welcome. We are also looking for some support in our student homestay (the students board at the farm, where we create a small community that supports the students' growth and development during their stay during the week). Even simple cultural exchanges will be received with great interest.

  Hébergement

  You will stay with us on our Farm in simple accommodation, but with all your needs met. The farm house will house a family who lives and works on the farm, and some of our students who board with us. Some of us will come every day from the city of Pondicherry (30mins drive away). When we are not at the farm, for example during the weekends, you can stay in our residences in Pondicherry where you will find all modern amenities.
