New Delhi [India], January 6: Not all schools can attain success in terms of marks and ranks. Success is also identified in confidence, curiosity and student capability to think independently at the Mount Zion School in Sikkim. The school has gradually developed a learning environment that is oriented towards actual knowledge and life preparation.
The development of the school represents a definite opinion that the school should be relevant to the everyday life of a child. The school, under the chairmanship of Sony Virdi, discarded the inflexible teaching methods and strived to make the process of learning more practical and interesting.
And the introduction of the Play Way method was a significant step along this path. As compared to the memorisation of the lessons, students started to learn in the form of activities, interaction and exploration. Teachers noticed the increased involvement and the understanding, in particular among younger students.
