“What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.”
Recently our daughter finished her pre-primary education and was stepping up to be in primary education. We were looking for best of schools available to enrol her, lots of criteria’s and parameters were taken into consideration and then we zeroed down on one. Well, you would think why so much of research on a school. A school is a school and will teach the same thing everywhere. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Not all schools are alike and they have different ways and goals of teaching and education. A good school is one that prepares your child for the world outside and helps in leading a better life. While the kids are young their minds are developing and they need more than just academics for overall development. Apart from textual knowledge a child needs various other skills in life to succeed, namely, behavioural skills, social skills, right expression and many more. And that is why a good school that helps in the holistic development of a child is important.
Recently I was invited to Pune for the launch of one of the leading schools in India. A school that focuses on shaping the young minds, preparing them for a great future ahead, one that believes in experiential learning rather than just textual.
