Karuna School- The Khaitan Legacy of Inclusive Education: A safe, inclusive, and joyful learning space where every child feels respected, inspired, and loved for who they are.

As a proud part of the Khaitan legacy, Karuna is a specialized learning space that celebrates diversity and champions potential. From occupational and behavioural therapy to creative arts, sports, and cultural experiences, every program is designed to build confidence, communication, and essential life skills.

Designed for children with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and other learning differences, it offers a nurturing ecosystem that blends compassion, expertise, and innovation.

With a student–teacher ratio of 1:7, a team of passionate and highly skilled special educators, therapists, and counsellors combine academics with therapies, life skills, and emotional development.

At Karuna, we believe every child is exceptional; not in spite of their differences, but because of them.

Learning in Action:
Supporting, Nurturing, Empowering

Integrated Classrooms

By adapting teaching strategies, using assistive technologies, and providing individualized support, our integrated classroom helps children with diverse learning needs access the same curriculum as their peers while fostering empathy and collaboration among all students.

Inclusive Classrooms

We create welcoming environments where all learners thrive together through empathy, collaboration, and differentiated instruction.

Therapeutic & Emotional Guidance

With in-house counselors and learning specialists, students receive holistic support for cognitive, emotional, and social growth.

Occupational Therapy & Functional Skills

Occupational therapy in school focuses on building essential motor, sensory, and self-help skills that support a child’s participation in classroom routines. Through individualized interventions and hands-on activities, students become more independent, confident, and ready to learn.

Individualized Learning Support

We believe every child deserves a learning experience tailored to their unique potential. Through Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs), we address each child’s strengths, challenges, and developmental needs. Our flexible, personalized approach ensures learning is engaging, meaningful, and paced to suit diverse learners—creating an inclusive environment where every child can thrive and succeed.

Our Leaders Speak

At Khaitan, inclusive education ensures that every learner progresses at their own pace, supported by an ecosystem that recognizes their unique strengths, challenges, and learning styles. Through individualized education plans, differentiated instruction, accommodations, and therapeutic interventions, we remove learning barriers so that students can access the curriculum meaningfully. Our classrooms are collaborative spaces where teachers, counsellors, and specialists work together to foster emotional well-being, communication, and independence.

Beyond academics, our focus is on nurturing essential life skills; self-advocacy, social interaction, resilience, and confidence; so every child feels valued and empowered. We believe inclusion is not a policy but a culture, where each learner is respected as a capable individual with potential waiting to unfold. When children feel seen, supported, and understood, they don’t just learn; they thrive.

Community Voices

Day one changed everything for us. Over time, my son has shown remarkable improvement academically, socially, and in his behaviour thanks to the patient and thoughtful guidance of his special educators. The Karuna Department has supported him with genuine care, structured interventions, and consistent attention. We now see a more confident child who enjoys learning and participates willingly. I wholeheartedly recommend KPS to parents seeking a nurturing and empowering environment for children with special needs.

My daughter began her schooling online during COVID-19, and we later realized that her phonics skills were underdeveloped. After two years at Karuna, the change has been remarkable. Her reading speed and pronunciation have improved significantly, and she now picks up storybooks on her own something she never showed interest in earlier. From ignoring signboards to eagerly sounding out new words, every small step has been a big milestone for us. Watching her develop a love for reading has been truly
heartwarming.

We chose Khaitan Public School because it offers a dedicated SEN department, something very few schools provide with such sincerity. Over time, we have seen positive changes in our child improved sitting tolerance, better instruction-following, and a growing interest in activities and studies. What we value most about Karuna is the calm, transparent environment and the openness of the teachers, who genuinely listen to parents and work collaboratively. We are deeply grateful to the entire SEN team for guiding our child in the right direction.
