When we were children, I remember parents saying, “Padhoge likhoge banoge nawab, kheloge kudoge banoge kharab.” The old belief was simple — books first, everything else later. But times have changed. We now know that a sharp mind and a healthy body go hand in hand, and one cannot truly thrive without the other. Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies: Vega Schools’ Approach to Student Wellness reflects this understanding, showing how Vega Schools go far beyond academics to nurture the complete well-being of every learner.

Today, we are raising Generation Alpha and Gen Z — kids who can Google you before they believe you! Children who are smart, curious, and unafraid to question everything. Old-school tactics of “just do as you’re told” will never work with them. These learners need to be guided thoughtfully, in a way that respects their intelligence while shaping their decision-making.

Children today live in a world very different from the one we grew up in. They are surrounded by an endless stream of online content. With parents’ increasingly busy schedules, changing family structures, and less direct involvement, many children spend hours on screens with little guidance. Add to this a lack of consistent role models and the tendency of parents — out of love or guilt — to give too much without setting boundaries, and you have a generation navigating complex choices on their own. This is why Vega Schools take a structured, thoughtful approach to wellness, equipping children with the tools to make better decisions for themselves.

Vega Schools are deeply aware that healthy minds and healthy bodies are inseparable. Learners at Vega are encouraged to have voice and choice — but also to understand that with freedom comes responsibility. In a world full of distractions, they are taught that taking care of their minds is just as important as staying physically active. They learn essential life skills like assertiveness, self-care, rational thinking, and how a growth mindset helps them overcome challenges.

As part of Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies: Vega Schools’ Approach to Student Wellness, the focus is on positive health — not just avoiding illness, but living life to its fullest. Children are guided to discover their goals, build the skills to pursue them, and realize that seeking support from others is a sign of strength, not weakness. They learn about teamwork, team spirit, and how physical health builds a strong foundation for mental resilience.

Through structured programs, mindfulness practices, sports, arts, and open conversations, Vega Schools help learners form balanced habits early on. Rather than enforcing strict discipline, they show children why boundaries matter, empowering them to take ownership of their choices. Whether through sports, creative expression, or community projects, children gain not only skills but also character — learning that true well-being means connection, purpose, and a readiness to grow.

Ultimately, Vega Schools are committed to raising confident, compassionate individuals who thrive in every aspect of life. By blending academic excellence with emotional and physical wellness, Vega ensures learners grow up not just successful, but happy, balanced, and ready to live with purpose and joy.
