The Shishu Pahel Paddhati©
at the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE)
level is a well-researched methodology developed
by the School. It is based on various international
curricula but adapted to local needs.
The Shishu Pahel Paddhati emphasizes child-initiated
learning and encourages children to plan and develop
self-paced learning. In this way, the student
retains his/her natural self-confidence. To further
strengthen the less tangible qualities, such as
self-discipline, self-esteem and self-awareness,
he or she is provided with opportunities for physical,
emotional and social development. Classrooms are
designed to be placed where students experience
the joys of reading, verbal expression, mathematics,
music, movement, water and sand play, art and
craft. The complete teaching and learning process
is child initiated and fun.
At the primary level, teachers plan and design
Curriculum Webs to ensure that every topic in
the curriculum is related
to other topics.
At the secondary level, the
Maharashtra state-prescribed curriculum is taught
using innovative methods and activities. Lessons
at all levels are facilitated through an integrated
curriculum, supplemented by a variety of co-curricular
activities, field trips and class projects.
Students also participate in number of inter-school
activities such as elocution competitions,
debates, science exhibitions, creative writing
and the arts.
Education Philosophy
The School believes that:
-
Every child is potentially
an independent thinker, with an infinite
capacity to acquire knowledge
-
Given the space, children
are capable of constructing activities
that lead to effective learning outcomes
- Child-centered education is the achievement
of learning outcomes, wherein the pace and content
of learning is directed by the child and supported
by the facilitator (the teacher)
- Children learn most effectively through
reflections shared with peers and facilitators
and through group discussions.
