Several subjects offered are mentioned below; however, emphasis in the initial years is upon Design 4 School, Innovation 4 School and, Digital Media 4 School. New age education programs need a fresh approach and connect for different people with different requirements within different context. The five thrust areas we focus upon are:
1. Introducing purpose to the learning (Why we do anything?)
2. Providing a meaning to the learning (What is the meaning? – Conceptual / fundamental learning)
3. Relevance: Connect the learning & applying it to real life
4. Bringing back the joy of learning for nurturing Bigger learners – Better learners – Self learners – Lifelong learners
5. Systematic and structured – Curriculum that elevates New age Skill-Thinking- Attitude requirements to a subject level. The approach is Cyclical Learning-Thinking-Doing using design pedagogy. Design pedagogy helps in holistic development - nurturing both design and scientific temperament.
