Have you ever wondered about the origin of the word – “school”?
The word “School” derives from the Greek scholê, which is translated as ‘leisure’ in English. In antiquity, leisure was connected to uninterrupted time to think and learn. Citizens of the bygone centuries aspired to this ideal and embraced a system of education called paideia. Its curriculum included the subjects of music, philosophy, rhetoric and poetry. According to ancient philosophers, the knowledge of these subjects and the embracement of learning could lead to both – virtue (excellence of character) and happiness.
The Emissary aspires to reinvent our global society by resurrecting the ancient embracement of learning and thinking. We believe these practices are more relevant today than ever, and hence, it is our vision to ready an aware and astute global citizenry. Not only do we wish to be a hub of knowledge, ideas and discourses but also a propeller of individual contemplating, perceiving and visualising. In accomplishing a global society, consisting of thinkers & ideals to its very core, we would have also secured ourselves a world free of hatred, division, conflict and cluttering contention
