What happens when a bold Japanese philosophy of education, born nearly a century ago, transforms the lives of children in a Tamil Nadu classroom?
The Journey of Soka Education from Japan to Tamil Nadu is a compelling collection of real stories―of children who found their dream school, teachers who grew into school Principal's, and parents who witnessed remarkable transformations in their children.
Set in Mahindra World School, this book reveals how a humanistic, value-creating approach―rooted in dignity, courage, and compassion―can reshape not just classrooms, but entire lives.
If you believe schools should do more than deliver grades… if you dream of learning environments built on dialogue, respect, and purpose―this book invites you to reimagine what education can truly be.
