Our Classroom

 

Arivu programme is based on the belief that children learn the best when they are allowed to observe, explore and engage. This is well translated in Arivu classes where learning happens the fun way! Students are exposed to an environment where they learn through play, relate learnings to their everyday situations and create things out of their imagination.

Learning is made meaningful through interesting activities like games, stories, songs, visuals and props.

The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst

lovely things

CONTENT DESIGN PARTNERS

Aarohi is a community of self-directed learners – children who decide what they want to learn, how they want to learn, when they want to learn and who use self-assessment. An open learning environment has been created at their campus in Hosur.

Ratnesh, the founder of Aarohi, has worked in the field of children’s education for several years.

These years of experience have taught him that children have an innate ability to learn, and each child learns differently.

Snehadhara Foundation works with children and adults who are differently-abled, their caregivers and families.  It exclusively uses Art Based Therapy to work with these children and adults.

Their approach to education is very focused on the belief that learning is learner led. Since children are spontaneous learners, it obviously follows that there are numerous ways of educating children, than just through logical and linguistic learning.
The role of an educator should just be that of facilitating the learning in children as they open themselves to learning as well.

Center for Research, Training and Education (CERTAD) is a design collective that seeks to create capacity for long term, social, economic and environmental change through participative methods and processes drawn from Art and Design.

The multi-disciplinary team, with diverse experiences engage with and empower spaces of public education such as museums, galleries, schools or informal learning centers. They work in collaboration with institutions of higher education and research, organizations in the areas of science, humanities, culture & heritage, and development institutions.

The core philosophy of CERTAD is to help engineer choices children make and to facilitate children beyond this phase. For CERTAD education is the exploration of  the multiple ways of being and expression, doing and making, developing core skills in reading, writing, numeracy and art and connecting oneself with both abstract information and knowledge ,the world and the lived experience.
