Why SIS?

GLOCALIZATION -
Where Global meets Local

The global education imparted at SIS is built on core humanistic values meant to turn out educated minds having global perspectives while operating in the national and local domains. To this end the SIS pluralistic community celebrates local and global fests, organizes programme on global issues and has international studies programme and teachers and student exchange components while also using the virtual space to link SIS to the global community.

Constructivist and Inquiry based learning

Constructivist approach is based on the principle that “A child learns best when he derives out of his learning”
The inquiry process is adopted here so as to tap the child’s natural curiosity as a point of reference to build in research skills which makes them not just knowledgeable inquirers but also balanced thinkers who are open minded and reflective.

Experiential Learning

This is built on axiom that the best way to learn is by doing. To this end we at SIS have projects based learning, community service expressed through PYP action, round square projects, IAYP and cas programme apart from field and study trips at local, national and International Level.

Authentic Learning

Authentic leaning is promoted through use of real world examples and applications and use of case studies within the ambit of the programme.

Holistic Learning

Holistic education is more than the education of the whole student and addresses the very broadest development of the whole person at the cognitive and affective levels. It emphasizes that education of the child beyond the confines of the classroom.

Cooperative Learning

SIS was the first school in India to conduct a workshop on Cooperative Learning by Dr. Spencer Kagen. The Kagen cooperative structures are instructional strategies designed to promote classroom communication boost students confidence and retain their interests in classroom interactions. These cooperative learning strategies are uncompetitive in nature and its not merely students working in groups but providing structures by which one can capitalize on one another’s recourses and skills and assess individual accountability within the group

Multiple Intelligence

Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence is the basis of ensuring that teaching strategies are in tune to a child’s learning style, be it visual, verbal, musical, naturalistic, inter personal, intra personal, kinesthetic, logical and existential.
