Collaborative learning occurs when teacher, parents and students unite to create new means of understanding for the child. To promote collaborative learning, we continuously strive to engage the parents in the learning journey of the child by sharing classroom lessons, involving parents in school activities and sharing feedback with parents. We also promote peer interaction among students through projects and circle time. In addition, we provide opportunities for students and parents to have open interaction with the teachers and the school team. We strive to make education student centric and personalized. By giving students autonomy in subject choice, increasing audio visual teaching, and introducing extra-curriculars, we promote the development of each child s unique abilities. Education at SVIS has evolved with the changing time. Today, students attend live classes and also get access to recorded content to study at their flexible hours. Our focus on project work and formative assessments provides students the flexibility of introducing new elements in our learning content.
