Vishwajyot International School was set up in Phaltan to provide the same learning opportunities to children of Phaltan and nearby villages as any big city children get. Since its inception, it has enabled students to “discover the extraordinary” in academics, sports, and extracurricular activities. Walking into a classroom in Phaltan, one could be anywhere in the world. All conversations happen in English, including each student waving enthusiastically in the air when the teacher poses a question. Classroom walls are covered with student work and inspiring facts. It's truly a joy to see children bubbling over with love for learning. And our little children in remote Phaltan have plenty of it!
Spreading our wings to other parts of Maharashtra, Vishwajyot International School was set up in Lonand in 2014. Vishwajyot International Lonand boasts of 100% of students conversing in English and giving many students opportunities at the District and National levels across different sporting activities. Welcoming its first batch of Eight Graders in 20-21 in a newly created state-of-the-art campus, located at Lonand- Nira Highway, in Satara District, Maharashtra, Vishwajyot International Lonand has always been associated with enabling children to discover the extraordinary within them and around the world, through personalised and project-based learning.
