A student who enters the portals of a
school today not only desires of academic education but is a tabula rasa ready
to be potentially molded and attain knowledge, skills, expertise and varied
experience to become a beacon of excellence as a global citizen. It makes
imperative that education should not only serve to produce youth on top of
modern life but adept at meeting the inherent challenges that will constantly
barrage him/her throughout the life- in terms of academic achievements, ever
faster upgradation of skills, emotional and social challenges. In short, what
is needed is building a 360 o outlook that leads not only to mere academic
development, but physical and development of EQ- Emotional Quotient. As the
world races to ever faster changes of technologies, space and time compresses
with an accompanying overload of information and almost insufferable assailment
of messages. Education must not only necessarily ensure mental development but
be the instrument to develop all the senses while turning every pupil into a
concerned ecological warrior as well as an empathetic individual ready to reach
out the disadvantaged. While academics enables mental development in order to
enhance of all mental faculties including memory, thinking, reasoning,
imagination, and discrimination, education needs to should develop these
harmoniously along with moral and emotional development without which mental
development may even become harmful to human existence . The heart of a child
needs to be so developed as to show exhibit concern, sympathy and consideration
for all living beings. This makes, the teacher a role model at the center of
the children’s universe that serves as a beacon for these stages of
development. Development of conscience too follows under the personal guidance
of the teacher. At a young age, the school is the enabler that provides the
environment for the child to develop all his latent faculties to the fullest by
pursuing subjects and activities that contain elements of creativity and
educational expression.
Hence the Curriculum must be designed so as to
Include those entire subjects which
promote mental as well as holistic development.
Motivate children towards pursuing
knowledge as deep and wide as possible and through the entire life span
Contain creativity of problem solving
to build constructive capacities

WHY
US?
HOLISTIC
DEVELOPMENT
1.
MENTAL DEVELOPMENT
ACADEMICS
Suncity School stimulates ‘curiosity’,
the main source of sustenance to glean knowledge for any human being. Knowledge
and skill is a rudderless ship unable to seek direction to the shore. Curiosity
needs to be imbued with bedrock of interest to enable learning- as we well
understand. The teacher’s plays a critical role here-to arouse interest and
develop the rare faculties of reflection - while always being curious enough to
explore, investigate and learn. Thus at Suncity, Learning is ‘ASK’
The acronym ASK represents
Application
Learning is embodied and concerned
with human experiences -A
Skill
Learning is interactive and social -S
Knowledge
Learning is an integrated cognitive
process -K
ALSO
-
Learning is an amalgamation of ‘observing, analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating
and thereby creating’ -U
ASK
involves
learning through inter-disciplinary and multiple intelligence aided strategies
commensurate with the child’s learning style & capabilities.
Worksheets and assignments at Suncity
School are designed keeping in mind the differentiated learning aspects of
students. CRAB helps in achieving this goal.
CRAB

ANYTIME,
ANYWHERE LEARNING
E-LEARNING & FLIPPED CLASSROOMS
Extensive e-learning as Technology
permeates every academic programme
Each class and lab is equipped with:

computer connectivity

With Flipped classroom environment, we
have reversed the traditional form of teaching learning. By first expose the
students to new materials outside the traditional confines of the class,
usually via E - reading material or lecture videos, the roles, pace and rhythm
of learning is transformed. Class time is utilized to tackle more challenging
work of assimilating that knowledge through strategies such as problem solving,
discussion or debates. The grand amalgamation of the humanizing vision and
creativity of teacher seamlessly melded with the use of technology enables the
child to step beyond a traditional classroom experience, push the boundaries of
knowledge and greatly enrich his/her learning experience.
