Philosophy behind the teaching process
At a very basic level, it is based on the idea of constant interaction. A teacher is no longer involved in merely transferring information from the textbook to the student, who will later reproduce a memorised version of it during exams. Ours is an interactive process in which teachers guide the students through the various stages of the knowledge acquisition process and also motivate them to learn beyond the classroom. They analyse each child’s ability to grasp concepts. If he is found to be lagging behind, punishment is handed out — not in the traditional way, of course, but in the form of assignments: The child has to spend time in our vast library and complete an assigned project. This helps in the process of understanding and internalisation.
