If dance, music, art and sports can start at an early age, then why not Engineering, Medical or Business?

About this course

History taught as dates and civics taught as definitions produce students who can pass an examination and cannot explain why a law matters or how a price rises. The subject is genuinely interesting; the treatment usually is not.

This course teaches the humanities as live subjects: how the Indian state is structured and what each part does, how an economy moves money around, how media and advertising shape what people believe, how societies are organised, and how to read a source critically.

It also teaches the skills the humanities are actually assessed on later — building an argument, using evidence, writing clearly, and holding a position under disagreement. Useful for a child aiming at civil services or law, and useful for any child who will one day vote.

Who this is for

If two or more of these sound like your child, this course fits.

— Students in Class 6 to 10 who ask why society works the way it does
— Children who follow the news but cannot yet make sense of it
— Students who may later target civil services, law, journalism, economics or policy
— Children who need to write and argue better for school
— Students bored by rote history and civics

Parent questions

What is the fee for Humanities & Social Sciences?+

The Humanities & Social Sciences course is ₹15,000 for the full six months, or No-Cost EMI of ₹3,000 × 6 with no interest and no processing charge. That covers all live sessions, recordings for revision, assessments and the project work. There is no registration or material fee.

How much time does this take each week?+

Three live sessions a week over six months, scheduled after school hours or at weekends so it never clashes with school. Every session is recorded, so a missed class can be caught up before the next one.

Is this school history and civics repeated?+

No. It covers the same territory as a subject rather than a syllabus — how governance, economies and media actually operate, and how to reason about them.

Which class is it suitable for?+

Class 6 to 10. The governance, economics and media units are the most immediately useful, and land well from Class 7 upward.

Will it help with school marks?+

Yes, particularly in social science answers and essay writing, where marks are usually lost to weak structure rather than missing facts.

Is this useful if my child wants engineering or medicine?+

Yes. Reading a source critically, building an argument and writing clearly matter in every field, and interviews at every level test them.

Do you teach political opinions?+

No. We teach how institutions work, how to evaluate evidence and how to construct an argument. Mentors do not push political positions on children.

Is a computer required?+

Helpful but not essential. Most sessions use reading, discussion and writing.

Can my child try a class before we pay?+

Yes. We run one free trial class so your child can sit in on a live session and you can both judge the teaching before committing. Message us on WhatsApp to book it.
