Our Values-Based Education
Students need support that goes beyond academic achievement. They require the tools to adapt to change, manage emotions, think critically, and make ethical choices in a complex world. Panyaden’s approach to values-based education lays the groundwork for these essential qualities and fosters the intellectual, emotional, and moral growth that students need to live happy, fulfilling lives.
At the heart of our approach is the Panyaden Profile, a framework that nurtures development across four dimensions, preparing students not just for academic success, but for lives of purpose, wisdom, and genuine fulfilment.
Kaya Bhavana: Physical Development
Students learn about the body and its needs, capabilities, and limitations. They also cultivate an awareness of their responsibility toward the environment, integrating activities such as sports and mindful movement.
Sila Bhavana: Social Development
Through training in mindfulness of intention, students develop an awareness of “not-harming.” By practicing regularly, they become aware of unwholesome tendencies and work systematically to refine their conduct and mindset.
Citta Bhavana: Emotional Development
Students learn to stay present with their experiences, thoughts, sensations, and emotions with mindfulness (sati). They cultivate emotional stability, allowing the mind to become more peaceful, happy, and content.
Panya Bhavana: Intellectual Development
Students are guided to examine their thoughts, feelings, and perceptions in order to understand their causes and effects. They also learn to cultivate a positive, task-oriented motivation—enjoying the practice itself rather than focusing solely on results.
Woven through this are the 12 Wise Habits—our daily principles that nurture the whole person.
