The Adyar Theosophical Academy (ATA) aims to prepare students for life in all its dimensions imparting wholesome education in its true sense. Academic excellence being only one of its objectives, ATA promotes an enlightened educational system that will teach the art and science of wise living and develop the capacity to live according to such an understanding. ATA strongly believes that in the increasingly divisive world today it is of central importance for students to learn to embrace their common humanity and their place in the web of life.
The ATA community will represent all strata of parents without discrimination with regard to either social or economic position. ATA intends to do away with as many societal labels as possible and see an individual for what he or she is.
