Centre For Learning, started in 1990 by a group of educators, is an attempt to explore the nature of learning and its relationship to the challenges we face today. We feel that living creatively and meaningfully demands from each of us a serious inner enquiry free from dogma and ideology. Without this, there looms the danger of losing ourselves in a world that values achievement and success above all else, unmindful of the damage to nature and community. Education has been reduced to preparing the young to compete in such a world.
CFL is a small school outside Bangalore for students between the ages of six and nineteen. As educators, we wish to meet the challenge of creating an environment where children and adults can inquire together in freedom, security and affection. Perhaps this can awaken a creativity in the individual, which will contribute greatly toward a spirit of responsibility and regeneration in society. The curriculum also aims to help students discover their interests and nurture rigorous skills in academic and non-academic areas.

Admission Procedure
CFL is a cooperative endeavour. Parents and students are not passive “consumers” but partners in the process of education and in the inquiry and exploration that is central to the activity of the school.
We attempt to communicate why the school exists and to articulate the educational philosophy of the school as clearly as possible. We invite parents to question us and share their views. We hope this process will clarify to parents and the school whether a CFL education is right for a child.
As we are a small school we can only offer spaces to very few children each year. We prefer to open the younger classes for admission; we feel that, for a CFL education to be meaningful, it is good for children, parents and teachers to work together over several years.
