Child-Centered Learning
Child-centered learning is the cornerstone of our educational philosophy. We believe that every student is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and learning styles. Our approach is designed to nurture each child’s potential, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. At Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, child-centered learning is not just a method, but a commitment to honouring each student’s individuality. By focusing on their interests, strengths, and aspirations, we create a nurturing environment where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, preparing them to be confident, capable, and compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
Project-Based Learning
Project-based learning (PBL) is a dynamic educational approach wherein students actively engage with real-world problems and challenges. Through immersive projects centered around these real-life scenarios, students delve deeper into their studies and acquire a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. PBL goes beyond traditional learning methods by enabling students to apply academic content in novel contexts, fostering a deeper level of learning and understanding.
In PBL, teachers transition from being content-deliverers to facilitators and project managers, guiding students through the learning process. Students take on a more independent role, working collaboratively to tackle challenges and solve problems, with teachers providing support and guidance as needed.
This multidisciplinary pedagogical approach offers meaningful learning opportunities that integrate various subjects and skills. By engaging in PBL, students develop essential 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and creativity—skills that are crucial for success in today’s rapidly evolving world.
Best Practices
At Jaipuria, we understand the importance of supporting students with learning difficulties. Our goal is to provide a nurturing environment where these students can thrive and build confidence.
We have a dedicated Learning Centre equipped with resources to help small groups or individual students work on specific learning targets. Our team includes special educators, counselors, speech therapists, and a pediatrician, ensuring comprehensive support.
Starting from primary school, students receive specialized assistance through Individual Educational Plans (IEP) tailored to their needs. This support continues through high school as necessary. We incorporate Brain Gym exercises and sensory integration techniques into our approach to engage students in multisensory learning. Our staff is trained to provide both individual assistance and support within the classroom.
Counseling is also an important aspect of our work, helping students improve self-esteem, motivation, and behavior. We also help students access any provisions granted by examining authorities to aid in coping with the curriculum. Overall, our aim is to ensure that students with learning difficulties leave our school feeling confident and accomplished.
