ES Experiential Learning
As part of our Elementary School curriculum, we believe it is important for students to be given the opportunity to experience learning in the classroom as well as outside the classroom.
Elementary School Classroom without Walls (CWoW)
Our students have multiple opportunities to study in a classroom without walls; on field trips around Chennai, in Service Learning, a school sleepover for students in Grade 4, and a three-night overnight stay for Grade 5 within Tamil Nadu state. In the past, we have visited Puducherry and Yelagiri.
Grade 5 Classroom Without Walls (CWoW) provides students with a unique cultural, personal, interpersonal and environmental experience that they would not normally experience within the regular classroom walls. Students learn, reflect, and grow as individuals.
The aim of CWoW is to
- Develop greater self-management, independence, social skills and classroom/grade level relationships
- Enhance cultural sensitivity and provide authentic, direct exposure to India in order to nurture a better understanding and appreciation of Indian culture
- Foster a greater sense of both community and service by developing new connections as well as strengthen existing ones
- Increase respect for the environment, other individuals and different cultures
- To challenge students physically and mentally
- To prepare students for week long Week Without Walls programs in Middle School
- Take learning out of the school and into the real world
