Eklavya
School has developed a fresh perspective on education to enhance the
value and quality of education. It believes in:
· Mixed Group Learning:
A mixed group usually represents reality better and thus prepares
children better.
Conducive environment to learn:
Environment that
is child friendly, caring and non-threatening. The emphasis is on
letting a child discover through exploration. Both physical and mental, for the child in play, learn and
reflect. Every child learns at her own pace and moves on to
greater challenges.
· Individual attention:
Individualized attention is probably one of the most important
implications of a small class-size. The strengths and weakness of a
child can be discovered by the educators here.
This is supplemented
by maintaining records of each child's work. The educator shares the
child's development through home visits and assessments.
· Educators,
not Teachers: The Ideal Educator is
a professional, who is like a gardener who tends plants. The
educator's job is to educate the child and make her a better human
being.
Continuous
Evaluation:
This is a process to
help evaluate the child better by continuous day-to-day monitoring and
feedback. The evaluation provides detailed observation.
· All-round
development: The activities designed
not only effect the intellectual formation of the student but also
influence the student physically, spiritually and psychologically.
This will help the student develop into a balanced personality capable
of becoming a productive, effective and sensitive member of the
community.

· Enjoyable
learning experiences: Learning
happens through diverse activities in school. This includes individual
and group activities.
Diverse activities, puzzles, field visits, worksheets, projects
etc makes learning a much more enjoyable and enriching process.
· Learning
beyond classrooms: learning becomes
much more effective and relevant through hands on experiences,
dramatizing concepts learnt, applying the learning’s in real life
experiences.
· Parent-School
partnership: Parents are an integral
part of the school community. The school learns through their wisdom
and experience by maintaining close ties with them, having regular
‘Home visits’, and by interactions where the parents spend time
with students talking about any issue of interest to them and the
students. The school also educates parents by conducting special
workshops and programmes.
