Our Teaching Methodology

To create a sustainable learning approach; we combine our core and supplementary curriculum through the board-prescribed content and innovative learning approaches. This is further complemented with contemporary teaching techniques, special programmes and examples from everyday life to develop the students’ understanding beyond textbooks.

Our technology-based learning solutions aid in the development of skills specific to the 21st century. Thus, encouraging active engagement with the content provided, as we nurture conceptual, lateral and innovative thinking.

The classrooms at The Shishya School are designed to cater to the specific needs of students of all ages, providing them with a sense of security, creativity and engagement. Whether they are in kindergarten, middle school or high school, we ensure an environment tailor-made for their needs.

The state-of-the-art, collaborative workspaces are built for students of all ages. Students can invent and work on exciting projects which range from robotic machines to good works within the community. This helps a student master knowledge in a deep and lasting way, as they extend their learning through projects they design, build and share.

The school provides students with expansive playgrounds and a well-constructed sporting area, ideal for a variety of games. As a result, students have an array of both outdoor sports and indoor games to choose from.

The Shishya School library is well-stocked with periodicals, journals, magazines, newsletters, fiction, reference books and encyclopedia to name a few. The library also offers integrated learning programmes that include phonics for pre-primary levels and literary classics for older students.

Parents are methodically apprised of their child’s progress with the help of the technology system and personal portfolios, while regular open houses allow them to directly interact with teachers. They are also involved in the many non-academic events and activities that occur in school, no matter how informal.

The school records students’ efforts, progress and achievements, in individual portfolios and personalised learning plans, which are integral to assessing their academic journey. These portfolios reveal the skills and understanding of each student, and their growth over a period.

No two children have the same abilities. However, it is important that when it comes to opportunities, they are on the same footing; therefore, we consciously ensure a uniform and equal environment for all our students.

At The Shishya School, a teacher’s role extends far beyond the classroom. Each teacher is carefully selected after a rigorous selection process which includes tests and interviews. Our teachers are innovators and facilitators – they actively participate in initiating and organising unique classroom activities and learning methods. They are specially trained to do so through a series of training programmes. In addition to an intensive pre-service session on innovation (which includes the In-Service Teaching Programme), these training programmes provide solutions to matters related to curriculum, content and technology. They also develop individual teaching styles and help teachers assess themselves using feedback from students, colleagues and the management. 

Our teaching aids consist of well-thought-out lesson and activity plans to facilitate student interest and engagement. The uniformity of our teaching methodologies across schools also ensures a uniform learning outcome, while celebrating a student’s creativity and ingenuity.
