These methodologies are a departure from the traditional rote learning that is imparted in most schools. While the syllabus for each grade is structured, teachers have the autonomy and flexibility to design the curriculum. The Curriculum Coordinator assists and supports teachers in the choice of materials and methodology. It is also the former's responsibility to shape and integrate online-offline learning, as well as the formal and informal curriculum.
Learning is progressed by:
- Student-centric learning
- Project-based studies
- Creativity
- Citizenship-education through interface with community projects
Student Centric Environment
Focus on teacher-centric instruction reduces the students to passive recipients of knowledge. Traditional teaching is a one-way street, where teachers teach and students learn by rote. Hence, we create an environment in which students are systematically encouraged to continually seek their own learning. Our teachers play the role of "facilitators".
Project-based Learning
Students are assigned individual & group projects in their areas of specific intelligence to develop and hone their skills and respective intelligences.
Creativity-centered Learning
Apart from regular learning in all disciplines, the School provides ample scope for creative learning. Students are given the opportunity of acquiring digital fluency and are encouraged to go beyond accessing information. Computers are used to learn and develop multimedia skills like producing music, videos, animation etc.
Citizenship Learning
Given the rising demands and needs of a rapidly changing global community, acquiring the knowledge and skills for responsible citizenship at the local, state, national and global levels becomes important. Such learning inspires young people to reflect on, and become actively involved in making a better world, not as incidental subject matter, but as the primary focus of their educational experience. Students thus are prepared to face the everyday challenges and feel ready to make significant contributions to mankind in a sustainable environment. With these clear objectives, we are involved in rearing up the future citizens of the global community.
