Before we delve on pedagogical practices we would like
to differentiate between training and education . Training is acquisition
of skills to earn a living whereas the goal of education is life itself.
"Education is not merely an instrument for earning a living or
acquisition of wealth . It is an initiation into a life of spirit , a
training of the human soul in the pursuit of truth and the practice of
virtue."
Learning is best achieved when the learner learns by doing.
Our emphasis is centered on project based work and team work in the
learning environment for enhancement and internationalization of
concepts.
The Trust believes that freedom and discipline are the two sides of the
same coin. So children at Salwan are provided a conducive environment
where they are given opportunities to choose what they wish to learn
within a framework of time limit. We believe that self direction and self
realization helps a student attain his/her perfection level.
Thus our methodology of teaching involves providing opportunities to a
child for learning away from a normal classroom ,which we feel, creates
unnatural boundaries for a child.
Our constant endeavor is to provide to the students unique opportunities
for their all round development and enable them to acquire technological
proficiency to cope up with the challenges of a swift changing age of
information.
A multidisciplinary approach focusing on group and individual presentations is
adopted for greater understanding of the subjects taught. This kind of an
approach provides opportunities for holistic learning experimentation and
enhanced innovative and creative thinking skills.
Not only is the curriculum designed to promote interfaith culture and
tolerance but it also caters to holistic learning,ensuring innovative and creative
thinking.
Professional growth programs for teachers serve as the key to achieve
quality education by equipping them with the skills to transform ideas
into real classroom situations.

is not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing."
