Project approach to consolidate concepts through real life experience is an integral part of the teaching in primary classes. Here, the teacher becomes a facilitator and children learn by experience and discovery. Mathematics, Science, Hindi and Social Studies labs are provided for the children to explore and understand the concepts taught in classrooms. Active learning leads them to produce high-quality work and to grow as individuals and collaborators. Children have a strong disposition to explore and discover. The Project Approach builds on natural curiosity, enabling children to interact, question, connect, problem-solve, communicate, reflect, and more. This kind of authentic learning extends beyond the classroom to each student’s home, community, nation, and the world. It essentially makes learning the stuff of real life and children active participants.
