The learning will be interconnected and in line with the curriculum, with a lot of self-directed learning elements. Experts from different areas will jointly design the programme, in consultation with teachers. It will be an important part of the school’s curriculum, and is done within school hours and can be across different age group at times. EVERYDAY after lunch time will be used for theme based learning incorporating four different elements: making, reading, designing, playing.
4-track learning
Our learning model emphasizes learning by doing, which is constructivism or active learning in terms of learning theory. In an attempt to put “learning to learn” into action, we have identified 4 umbrella areas: making, reading, designing and playing, as the major learning experiences in this model.
MakingMaking is a creation process which puts knowledge into practice and helps understanding.
