The Storm, the Saplings, and a School Called ViVi
It was a fateful night — one that left behind more than just broken branches and a shaken sky. As a storm surged unexpectedly, we rushed to protect the young saplings we had lovingly planted, unaware of how fierce the night would become.
The accident that followed changed everything. And the scars it left — both physical and emotional — still echo in memory.
We thought: This happened because we were too late. It was our fault.
When we regained consciousness, our people — our community — responded to our plea and guided us back to the saplings we feared we had lost. To our amazement, they stood tall… safe… protected.
Cradled by the older trees — witnesses to our effort, to our hope, and to the love with which we planted them.
That morning, overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude, we thanked Allah.
We then rushed to a scheduled meeting — one that would change the course of this journey. That was the day we received the keys to what would become the home of ViVi – The Bear School.
The community came together. Conversations turned into commitments. The dream, it turned out, was no illusion — it was real, and it was even better than we had imagined.
We are deeply grateful to the parents, educationists, and beautiful souls who stood like those steadfast trees — shielding, supporting, and believing in this vision. To those who trusted us, our philosophy, and our process — thank you.
ViVi – The Bear School is not here to compete.
We are here to contribute — to nurture a learning community that grows with other schools, with fellow educators, and with parents who want more than just a school — they want a place where their children can truly thrive.
We welcome your feedback, guidance, and suggestions, especially from fellow school founders, educators, and parents. Together, may we continue to grow strong saplings — and stronger roots.
ViVi – The Bear School is a Waldorf-inspired, inclusive institution grounded in a nature-based curriculum that draws wisdom from both Rudolf Steiner and Allama Iqbal. Rooted in the principles of individuality, creativity, and self-actualization, ViVi fosters an environment where children grow not just academically, but emotionally and spiritually.
The name “ViVi” symbolizes renewal and resurgence — a meaningful revival after a challenging chapter, now reimagined with deeper purpose. The bear, central to our identity, stands for strength, resilience, and nurturing — values we aim to instill in every child we teach.
Our Logo
Our logo captures the heart of our philosophy through thoughtful symbolism. At its center is a soft orchid-colored bear, representing the quiet strength of our school community. The name “ViVi” appears in a rich green, reflecting growth, life, and renewal.
Two graceful vines encircle the bear — a reminder of the interconnectedness of nature and education, and the ever-growing bond between children, their surroundings, and their learning journey.
Together, these elements reflect the vibrant, inclusive, and nurturing space we strive to create — where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated.
