“Yellow Train is founded on goodness, beauty, truth and our deep love for children / education that meets the whole child/ teacher nature ecosystem”
The world is a magical place. It is a big blue ball that floats on thin air. It harvest sunlight from million miles away to keep things alive and well. Filtering through layers of mysticism and atmosphere. Yet, we believe we know it all. We surrender to the screens that we can hold in our palms, ignoring the wisdom of the outdoors, ignoring the stories that the living spirits whisper in to our ears.

Welcome to our campus
When you drive out on the highway from Coimbatore (a small city in the south of India), a small dusty village road leads you to a farm protected- from hurried living – with peacocks, cows, rows of tomatoes, corn and maize and tucked in the midst of all this a school building made of mud blocks. And as you walk in you will meet the soul of the school, hidden in the laughter of the children, the happy faces of the teachers and the warmth of the shared energy.
Make it stand out.

“The connection that is established from the very beginning between our activity and the spiritual worlds. We need to form our thoughts so that we can be conscious that this school fulfils something special. We can do this only when we do not view the founding of this school as an everyday occurrence, but instead regard it as a ceremony held within cosmic order”
— Rudolf Steiner

Kindergarten – Receive the child in reverence
The young child is humanity’s closest connection to the spiritual world. The young child who comes into the Kindergarten looks at us with earnest, trusting gaze and asks
Are you at my side? Will you give me what I need?
Can I really trust you? Will you go along with me for some time?
The child is met with an environment that brings warmth and safety, rhythms that protect their formative forces and a teacher who meets the child with honest unaffected love. Such a love that streams forth is what nourishes the child. The children in these tender years believe that The World is good. With utmost respect and understanding of the sacred energy that surrounds the children, they are received with reverence.
Primary School – Educate them with love.
Nourished by play, fantasy and imagination, stories and life giving forces in the Kindergarten, children cross the rainbow bridge to arrive into Primary School. This young child that came to us with utmost trust in our ability to hold and protect them is now ready to meet the world of formal learning. A curriculum rich in stories, music, art, rhythm and movement feed their rich feeling life and invoke in them a sense of wonder. The foundational years of the primary, build in the children creative thinking, capacity for expression, curiosity and confidence in their abilities. They need an adult who can educate them with love and who will help them look at the world with their imaginative eyes. The education offered stirs their feelings to meet the child of this age who is deemed an ‘Artist’. To these children The world is Beautiful.
Middle, High and Senior School – Send them forth in freedom.
Something new is dawning in - The child’s emotional life .. It is not just sexual maturity they are approaching, it is real earthly maturity – adulthood on all fronts. And that is really a kind of new birth. The child is now at crossroads. Caught between the two worlds – The disappearing world of childhood, the imminent adolescence and the slowly arriving world of adulthood. We witness in the children a birth of new consciousness – The consciousness of the self and the world. Along with this, is the consciousness of thought. Adolescents love the challenges of thinking logically, seeing cause and effect and deducing their own theories from phenomena. Thinking becomes their gateway to experiencing life.
A feeling of selfhood begins to arise with the question – Who am I? . This new consciousness makes the world around stand back – The I begins to emerge, separate and alone. What they are seeking is the Truth in the World. With their destiny unfolding in front of them, they walk out into the world in freedom.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
