Advances in Academics

“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”
- Malcolm X

At The Pupil, we emphasize not only on the content of the learning but also on the process of learning and the attitude towards it. In addition to being knowledgeable, we believe students must be independent thinkers, problem solvers and lifelong learners. To this end, our curriculum incorporates the following elements:

1. Inquiry-based Learning

Inquiry-based learning is a form of active learning inspired by IB philosophy. In contrast to traditional education wherein teachers their own knowledge on a subject, inquiry-based learning prompts students to identify questions and issues and develop knowledge and solutions through research and analysis. Here, the teacher is a facilitator rather than a lecturer. Students feel much more invested in their own learning and develop the skills of independent thinking, critical analysis, team-work and effective communication.

2. Crossing Subject Boundaries

Till standard 5, the curriculum is organized as transdisciplinary themes. This allows students to explore and connect a particular topic across different subject boundaries. Since there are no textbooks and exams, learning is not constrained by set portions and deadlines.

3. Integrated Coaching Program for Std. XI & XII

The Integrated Coaching Program for classes XI & XII is handled by faculty with proven records and years of experience in coaching students for IIT and NEET. They also train them for board exams, entrance exams and competitive exams such as NTSE, KVPY, National and International Olympiads within school hours..

5. Concept Lab

Right from Class 1, students visit the Concept Lab every week and perform science experiments on their own. This initiative supplements the theoretical understanding gained in the classroom and helps develop scientific acumen and temperament.

6. Structured Reading Program

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” - Dr. Seuss
The Pupil, in collaboration with the Book Lovers Program for Schools (BLPS), conducts structured reading programs to help students inculcate a reading habit and go more places, both literally and metaphorically. Every week, children read books and take part in related activities to generate interest and appreciate the text better.

7. Newspapers in Education

Each student receives a copy of the student edition of the Times of India everyday and discuss the issues presented. This initiative not only promotes awareness of current affairs and critical thinking skills, but also helps them become better readers and writers.
