Activity-based learning for young children at Candor International School

– Dr Suresh Reddy, Founder-Chairman, Candor Group of Schools

At Candor, activity-based learning gives students a wholesome experience encouraging them to be independently analytical, think critically, and learn from their own experiences. This self-directed learning processes in turn supports the acquiring of knowledge beyond their educational environment. Activity-based learning encourages kids to take responsibility for their own learning experiences. Working in groups, also helps students develop social skills and teamwork. These skills will later prove important in their work and social life. Instead of students passively listening to a teacher, students can complete tasks, practice key skills and allow them to absorb information in an active way.

Key things parents need to check for before deciding a school for the child.

The abundance of options, often leaves parents in a quandary, over how to choose the best environment for their children. Once they know, what options are available to them, it is time to determine the best environment for the child, based on the 5 factors we have outlined here:

Academic Considerations – It is important you decide which Board of Education that would best suit the unique capabilities of the child.
Proximity- The distance between the school and home and the time taken for travel to and fro..
Faculty: As a parent, you need to look at the faculty profile and pay attention to their experience.
Student teacher Ratio: According to experts, the ratio of teachers and students in a classroom should be no more than 1:20.
Safety & Security – While choosing a school, a parent must always keep in mind, the safety and security measures in the school that they have short listed. The academic accomplishment of a school will be the next priority after the safety of the child.
