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.
