At Narayana, academic excellence is just the beginning. Through our visionary Future Edge initiative,
we are
redefining education by preparing students to become life-ready leaders, grounded in purpose, resilience and
personal responsibility.
In collaboration with the globally acclaimed Leader in Me framework, Narayana Future Edge integrates
the
world-renowned 7 Habits of Highly Effective People into everyday learning. This transformative model
goes beyond
academics, equipping students, educators and families with the mindset and tools to thrive in today’s dynamic
world.
The Power of the 7 Habits in Education
Rooted in the leadership philosophy of Dr Stephen R. Covey, the 7 Habits offer a holistic path
to personal and
interpersonal effectiveness. At Narayana, these habits are woven into the fabric of school life, creating a
leadership culture where every child is empowered to lead, learn and grow.
1
Be Proactive – Taking Responsibility
Students are taught to take ownership of their actions, choices, and learning. This habit
nurtures
confidence,
emotional intelligence and a growth mindset from an early age.
2
Begin with the End in Mind – Goal-Oriented Thinking
Learners develop clarity in purpose and long-term vision. Through leadership notebooks and
mission
statements,
they learn to plan, prioritise, and stay focused on meaningful goals.
3
Put First Things First – Prioritising What Matters
Time management and discipline are cultivated by helping students identify what is important
versus what is merely urgent, setting the stage for focused and productive learning.
4
Think Win-Win – Building Positive Relationships
This habit promotes empathy, collaboration, and emotional resilience. It lays the foundation
for peer respect and healthy conflict resolution, essential for both school and life.
5
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood –
Empathetic Communication
Students learn the power of listening first, a key life skill that fosters trust, reduces
misunderstandings and strengthens relationships.
6
Synergise – Valuing Differences
In team projects, leadership roles and classroom discussions, students experience the
strength of diversity and teamwork, realising that working together yields better results.
7
Sharpen the Saw – Balanced Self-Renewal
Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being are encouraged. Activities in sports,
arts and mindfulness are embedded into school life, ensuring balanced development.
How Future Edge Shapes Narayana Schools
Through structured leadership environments, student-led conferences and goal-setting systems, Narayana students
are not just prepared to excel in exams, they are prepared to thrive in life. Our implementation of Leader in Me
is comprehensive and continuous, supported by:
- Staff professional development and coaching
- Classroom resources and student leadership guides

- Leadership portfolios and measurable growth tracking
Every educator models the 7 Habits, and every student is provided with real opportunities to lead, collaborate
and reflect.
Why Future Edge Matters More Than Ever
In a world marked by rapid change and uncertainty, future-ready learners must do more than just memorise. They
must lead with clarity, adapt with confidence and engage with empathy. Narayana Future Edge is our
commitment to
this future, a future where students do not just succeed academically but shine as resilient, responsible
individuals.
From building emotional intelligence to developing lifelong learning habits, Future Edge empowers every
student
to take charge of their own narrative.
Real Change, Measurable Impact
- Improved academic achievement
- Reduced behavioural issues
- Higher teacher satisfaction
- Stronger family-school partnerships
- Greater student engagement and self-direction
Narayana schools that implement Future Edge see tangible results not only in grades but in growth. As
students
internalise the habits, they gain the confidence and clarity to lead their own lives with purpose and passion.
Narayana Future Edge is more than a programme, it is a movement towards life-readiness, leadership
and legacy.
Our schools are becoming ecosystems of excellence, where every child realises their dreams and learns to see the
leader within, because at Narayana, your dreams are our dreams.
