Ms Asha Narayanan

School Director

As an educationist and educational leader for over the last three decades and more, Ms Asha Narayanan is a visionary with a wide array of experience - as a teacher, as a principal, and as head of curriculum and quality for the group schools across the national curriculum education boards - CBSE, CISCE and the Maharashtra State Board. Her brand of leadership weaves around dedication, commitment and empowering the generation of educators and students who are placed in her charge. Making schools fun places for learning marks her style. Here both the teacher and the student enjoy their learning journey in the school, As Nelson Mandela says, 'Judge me not by my success, but by how many times I fell down and got back up again.' Like Mandela, Asha too, feels that building resilience in students is the need of the hour today. In a VUCA world where things are changing so fast, that the student community is often caught in this vortex, it is important to develop in them the skills of resilience and adaptability. And thus they will be able flow seamlessly into the world of work of the future. She started her teaching career in a CBSE affiliated school, Vidyasagar School - Indore. It was at St Gregrios High School, Chembur, Mumbai where she gained professional wings as a talented, committed and creative teacher. After a decade as a teacher, spanning the primary and secondary classes alike, she held the mantle of Principal at St. Mary’s ICSE School, Koparkhairane for nearly a decade, before working with Lodha World School, Thane as Principal and Dean, and The Shriram Universal School, Palava as the Dean Principal before taking on the current role as School Director of the Thanekar International School, Badlapur. She owes all her success in the various roles held by her to the institutions that she has served over her professional journey.

Ms. Swarupa Chakraborti

School Principal

Welcome to our learning community. Namaste! With over 28 years of experience in education across India and overseas, I’ve had the privilege to serve as Head of Department, Academic Coordinator, Vice Principal, and Principal. These roles, combined with my involvement in various student exchange programmes, have shaped my belief that education is far more than academic achievement — it is about nurturing capable, compassionate, and curious human beings. My philosophy is grounded in the idea that every child enters the classroom with a unique brilliance. It is not our job to fill empty vessels, but to recognize, ignite, and empower each learner’s potential. As William Butler Yeats once said, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” I believe learning should be active, inclusive, and joyful. Students thrive when they are supported, challenged, and inspired — when the classroom is a place of warmth, creativity, and meaningful collaboration. I encourage teaching methods that adapt to the diverse ways students learn, combining experiential learning, critical thinking, and artistic exploration. It embraces the belief that failure is part of growth. The learning process is not always linear — it requires persistence, reflection, and resilience. I follow the “I do, We do, You do” model to help students move from guided learning to confident independence — a step they often find most rewarding. In today’s complex world, an interdisciplinary perspective is essential. I believe that philosophy, psychology, science, and the arts all play a role in understanding the human mind and in shaping well-rounded individuals ready for global citizenship. At the heart of our mission is the idea that education must help students become mature, freethinking individuals — capable not just of academic success, but of living with love, purpose, and integrity. I look forward to continuing this journey with our dedicated staff, engaged parents, and most importantly, our inspiring students.

School Chairperson

It has always been our dream to bring the best and the finest infrastructure to the doorstep of Badlapur. Recently when we were exploring the above, we realised that in order to entice the best professional talent into Badlapur and get them to live here and become a part of our city, we needed a few things in place here. Chief among them was having a very good state-of-the-art school, which offers the latest and best in school education. This is to be followed with the best professional colleges and courses to be offered here in Badlapur itself. And also a hospital with the latest research and amenities that medical treatment can offer. When we say best, we mean the physical infrastructure as well as the professional talent, that will govern these institutions. So began the idea of setting up the first branch of the Thanekar International School in Badlapur. The sprawling campus, spread over a large area, is a one-of-its-kind school in our city. The design element takes into care all spaces that are required for the healthy and robust growth and development of our school going children. TIS is a proposed CBSE affiliate. We very carefully located our knowledge partner in Shri Educare Limited, who are an established name in the education industry, with their legacy going back to the Shri Ram College of Commerce, the Lady Shri Ram College and the Shri Ram Schools, New Delhi. As promoters of a premium, world class institution, the TIS, we wish to spare no effort, in bringing the best in terms of talent into our school. We are extremely proud of our association with Shri Educare Limited. We appeal to all the parent community of Badlapur to join us and support us in this historic effort of starting the best school in Badlapur. Join us in this movement and make it yours too.

LABORATORIES

There will be well-equipped Language, Math and EVS labs as well as Computer laboratories. There will be a multimedia room for many lively classes with presentations in various subjects. The major focus placed on teaching computers, science, technology, engineering and mathematics to the children at junior, middle and high school levels will be supported by a well equipped Robotics Lab with state- of – the – art facilities, a learning space for the children to engage in hands on activity, learning through ‘active play’ and discovering the mechanics of day to day technology. A Skill Development Laboratory will enrich students by integrating STEM concepts with hands on activities. Designing skills, computational thinking, vocational crafts, app development and problem solving skills will be the focus in this state – of – the – art technical space. All these will be equipped with the latest instruments and tools and run competently by experienced laboratory assistants.

SMART CLASSES

TIS classrooms will have Smart Interactive Boards along with projectors and computers. They come with an advantage of combining the features of a computer, the Internet, Power Point Presentations and animation. This will further broadened the scope of e-learning as it will give the teacher a tool to enhance content by integrating images such as graphs, soundtrack, various fonts to add new dimensions to the class. It will enable the teacher to customize content according to the class level.
