Preparing Students
for Global Stage

nstitutions in the current times are undoubtedly
Ifollowing suit as the world's leading colleges
incorporate global understanding and exposure in their
programmes. It makes sense for young students to have a
global perspective in an era of increased international
mobility in higher education.
Since its inception in 2016, RBK International School
(RBKIS) has constantly been striving to create individuals
with a global outlook. It aims for academic excellence for
all of its learners; at the same time, it believes in shaping
them into individuals who are aware and sensitive towards
the world they live in.
With the legacy of thirteen years, RBKIS was rechristened
in 2016 as a complete Cambridge school from Grade I to
IGCSE and 'A' level in the new campus, with the first batch
of students taking IGCSE exams in November 2011. All its
able trainers and teachers have the potential not only to get
the best academic results but also to draw its learners'
creative and sporting potential. RBKIS established itself as
a premier institute of learning, providing international
quality education.
Providing a Holistic Framework
With the collective experience of RBKIS teachers of more
st
than 400 years, it provides a holistic framework for 21 -
century learners. RBK International School, affiliated with
internationally recognised CAIE, Cambridge Assessment
International Education, offers all qualifications offered to
students by CAIE. It is a complete Cambridge International
School, maintaining a continuum from Kindergarten to
Cambridge Advanced Programs. The school is among the
few schools which offer a wide range of subject choices (34
at IGCSE and Advanced Level) for its learners. As training
and development is a never-ending process, the school
focuses on the continuous professional development of its
staff. In-house training sessions are conducted at regular
intervals. The school's teachers have undertaken
professional development courses conducted by Cambridge
in order to keep up with the ever-changing facets of the
education industry.
The School's Commitment
RBK International School aims to follow the Cambridge
approach to develop competent and compassionate young
people who are:
• Confident in working with information and ideas –
their own and those of others
• Responsible for themselves, responsive to and
respectful of others
• Reflective as learners, developing their ability to
learn
• Innovative and equipped for new and future
challenges
• Engaged intellectually and socially and ready to
make a difference in the world
Creating a Supportive Educational Environment
The mission of the school is to inspire young minds to
meet their full potential as learners. Its intent is to create
a supportive educational environment that produces self-
motivated students and reliable future citizens. The
school's vision is to develop global leaders for tomorrow.
It aspires to have students develop into lifelong learners
with a sense of purpose, sound moral judgment, and
commitment to improving the world.
Inculcating Values in Students
RBKIS believes in inculcating values in the learners,
which not only prepares them for the future but
shapes them into individuals who work towards
making the world a better place.
Finding solutions to problems is a critical trait
that the world looks for in leaders, and it
should be developed in childhood. Having
access to the internet and limitless
technology at their fingertips is convenient
but not helpful in resourcefulness in
pupils. The school works to nurture this
trait in children. Activities that
challenge their creativity to create
something new and push them to
think out of the box.
Instilling the Sense of Empathy
Teaching children to value
achievement or happiness is
similar to caring for others.
The school encourages kids'
natural sense of empathy
and stresses the importance
of caring for others as
much as getting good

WE ENVISION THE FUTURE OF OUR SCHOOL THROUGH THE
EYES OF OUR YOUNG DIRECTOR, MS NIYATI KANAKIA,
WHO BELIEVES THAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE PROVIDED THROUGH
A BALANCED ACADEMIC PROGRAM TO
ENABLE A STUDENT TO DO BRILLIANT THINGS.

grades. Raising empathetic children is not just good for
society; it will also help them to have better emotional
intelligence and be more successful.
It's about having the confidence to voice thoughts and a
willingness to respect and relate to the ideas of others.
Somewhere between being overly aggressive and painfully
timid lies assertiveness. It involves being bold and
confident, speaking up when necessary but remaining
respectful. It is the necessary building block to mature and
develop peaceful relationships between all human beings.
Imbibing Humility
There is an essential balance between having positive self-
esteem and remaining humble, which all kids need to learn.
In a culture that emphasises praise and validation, ensuring
that kids still have humility is crucial. The school imbibes
humility in children that can be in harmony with confidence
and positive self-esteem. When a child is self-assured, he
does not feel inferior to others. Admitting a mistake, not
knowing the answer, and being willing to give credit to
others are hallmarks of humility, which RBKIS deliberately
fosters.
Persistence of Two Decades
Mrs. Rupal Kanakia, Chairperson of RBKEI institutes, is
the driving force behind the success of RBK International
School.
She is committed to giving people across India access to
education and literacy; she is highly passionate about her
vision. Through education, Mrs. Rupal Kanakia wants to
enable today's women and youth to progress tomorrow.
Mrs. Rupal Kanakia started an institution with 30 students
in the year 2000 to redefine education in Mira Bhayandar
suburbs. This institution has been well-received by the
parent community of Mira Bhayandar ever since it was
established two decades ago.
From then on, she went on to start schools at various
locations in the country and RBK educational institutions
are ranked among the first ten institutions in the Mumbai
region. Mrs. Rupal Kanakia had a vision of giving exposure
to all the curricula to the young minds in the Mira
Bhayandar area. With this vision in mind, RBKEI started
with the national curriculum in this area. In 2016, RBKIS
became a complete Cambridge curriculum.
Social Service Activities
Students of this school have been creating awareness about
the importance of education through social service

activities. Through the IAYP program, the learners carry out
many social service activities. For this, the school has a tie-
up with the Rotaract Club, where the learners carry out a
series of social service activities to uplift education in their
locality.
Learners contribute in various ways by distributing
stationery, notebooks and other educational activity
material to help and motivate children in these areas. They
also contribute to the community from a low socioeconomic
background by promoting girls' education. The school's
staﬀ also conducts awareness sessions for adults from the
less privileged class, motivating them to educate their
children.
Adapting to Changes
Implementing 'Virtual Schooling' was a challenge for the
school, and it was one of the few to initiate online classes
after the onset of the pandemic. RBKIS had a systematic
schedule across all grades, ensuring regular teaching and
teacher interaction.

• Storytelling
• Newsletter
Tech Club
• Digital Media and Design
• Web Designing
Eco Club
• Horticulture
Performing Arts
• Music
Virtual sessions were arranged with two breaks to ensure
limited use of the screen. In case of academic difficulties,
learners were given additional support by conducting
remedial sessions. Quarterly parent-teacher interactions
were conducted virtually. If any parent required any support
from the school principal, coordinator, teachers, and
administrative department were available to deal with the
concern. As per the lockdown restriction, RBKIS supported
board learners with safety norms whenever the school got
permission.
Cyber safety was a prominent concern during the pandemic.
Cyber safety is a part of the regular school curriculum from
Grade 6 onwards, and ICT teachers regularly help learners
understand its appropriate use. Using child-friendly apps
makes it easy and convenient for the child to upload
projects, videos and display presentations.
Another challenge that the school faces is in terms of
parental expectations. Parents, these days, are interfering
more in school activities but, at the same time, are not ready
to take responsibility. The school conducts various parent
orientation sessions to make them realise that educating a
child is a collective responsibility of all stakeholders.
Abundant Activities to Ensure Complete Development
RBKIS strongly believes in the holistic development of
learners. Catering to the multiple intelligence and different
learning style of the learners, it offers a range of co-
curricular and extracurricular activities in the school.
Keeping in mind the health and fitness of learners, the
school offers SPA activities with a range of sports like
Football, Basketball, Lawn tennis, Skating, and Cricket.
The school has a playground that supports all the
abovementioned activities.
Games like human chess and traditional games of chess for
all grades not only help learners think critically, it also
makes them sharp and develops problem-solving skills.
Keeping in mind the skills developed by playing chess, it is
made mandatory for learners of all grades.
Other activities like Yoga, Music, Dance, PE and Brain
Gym offered in the school also contribute to their all-around
development.

Trips
• Educational Trips

The school had master talks from famous personalities like;
Kapil Dev from the field of sports, Mr Rakesh
Jhunjhunwala, an expert from the field of business and
finance, Aditya Thackery talked about being an inspiring
leader, and many young entrepreneurs interacted with its
learners.
The school counsellor also conducts awareness sessions.
The nutritionist of the school conducts health awareness
sessions. Sessions related to POCSO are conducted in the
school by a professional organisation with which the school
has to tie up.
Comprehensive Educational Approach
STREAM is a comprehensive, holistic and unique
educational approach integrating Science, Technology,
Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. It is an
integral part of the curriculum of school from pre-primary
till grade 8.
The school has exclusive faculty to teach STREAM, which
is a part of the timetable, along with other core subjects. It
has a tie-up with another professional organisation to teach
artificial intelligence sessions.
As a part of STREAM, the school also runs 'Design Club'
where the emphasis is on do-it-yourself activities where the
students respond to real–world challenges by undertaking a
design process, identifying solutions, testing and
implementing the solutions to find the most appropriate
one.
It is a student-centred learning environment where they
learn to be curious, ask questions and discover answers on
their own.
The school offers its learners the IAYP (International
Award for Young People, also known as The Duke of
Edinburgh Award Program). This program focuses on
21st-century skills in the learners like collaboration,
communication, global outlook, perseverance, problem-
solving and much more.

Introducing Students to Varied Cultures
The school offers online and offline internship programmes
for its students in the summer and winter. Online campus
tours introduce students to the varied cultures, ways of life,
and learning settings of worldwide universities.
The counselling office periodically makes chances for
student exchange programmes available, which gives
possibilities for interested students the to sign up for group
projects, research initiatives, and mentorship programmes,
offering them the chance to collaborate with a broad ethnic
cohort.
The school also helps its learners participate in international
online tournaments and competitions. Organising lecture
series by professors and professionals from different fields
from worldwide universities, the school helps learners get a
broad perspective on the world. It facilitates learners to
engage with students at international universities.
Interacting with the school's alums currently employed as
professionals in India and abroad also helps them better
understand the world around them.
The school also organises international trips for its learners.
It also conducts University Fairs with foreign University
representatives physically present in the school.
Impeccable Results
The achievements of students and the happiness of the
parent community every academic year can ascertain the
success of RBK Educational Institutions. In March 2022,
Ms. Suzanne Fatwani achieved a commendable subject
topper for enterprise; she was awarded the Cambridge
Outstanding Learner. In July 2022, RBKIS was awarded as
Mid-day Icon for excellence in international school
education.
Complying with the Four Pillars of Education
The school advises students in India to comply with the
four pillars of education for the 21st century that Jacques
Delors (2001) refers to UNESCO in the form of a report.
Students need to be lifelong learners with a never-ending
thirst for constantly updating themselves with knowledge.
Students should be ready to be not just responsible but a
performing citizens of India. They should learn to live
together, learn to co-exist to be global citizens with deep-
rooted Indian values, learn to emphasise integral learning,
being mindful of individual potential and interests.
Developing Global Leaders for Tomorrow
The school envisions the future through the eyes of its
young director, Ms. Niyati Kanakia, who believes that
opportunities are provided through a balanced academic
program to enable a student to do brilliant things. She is
determined to create a world-class atmosphere for learning
that is balanced and encouraging.
Ms. Niyati Kanakia strives to usher young learners onto the
path of learning eternal values and develop them to reach
the best of their potential.
The school believes in developing global leaders for
tomorrow and aspires to have students develop into lifelong
learners who excel in all fields, i.e. academics, sports,
performing arts, and visual arts, with a sense of purpose and
moral judgment. The school aspires to encourage
diversified and unique talents. It believes in educating
learners for life, who will be compassionate individuals
willing to contribute their best to society.

THE KNOWLEDGE REVIEW

Calcutta
Benchmark of Holis c Educa on
tudents who receive a Cambridge education are better
Sequipped for life by fostering a lifelong love of study
and an informed curiosity. A Cambridge curriculum
can be customised by schools to fit the way they want their
pupils to learn, guiding them as they explore new skills and
a larger world. Students in Cambridge settings acquire the
abilities they need to succeed in school, university, and the
workplace.
Calcutta International School (CIS) has been carrying the
legacy of Cambridge education in India since the early
independence days.
CIS came into existence as the King’s House School when a
British family started home-schooling their two sons at their
bungalow in Lee Road and hired teachers to help them with
their work.
Slowly word of this ‘school’ began to spread, encouraging
other British families to send their children there, and soon
a British teacher, Miss Mai Barth, was appointed as the
principal.
When the King family returned to the UK, they left the
bungalow and the school to Ms Barth and the school was
officially registered in 1953.
Under her leadership, it became a full-fledged school called
Miss Barth’s School.
The school soon evolved to become a reputed institution
providing academic and extramural education. Miss Barth
is believed to have been awarded an OBE for her relentless
dedication to education.
June 2023 20

A Thriving Learning Hub
When Miss Barth retired and returned to England, the
parents of the students decided to form a Society to govern
the school, which received its final name - Calcutta
International School Society, in 1970. It was registered
under the West Bengal Societies Regulation Act.
CIS shifted from the Lee Road premises to its present
sprawling campus at Anandapur, Eastern Metropolitan
Bypass, Kolkata, in 2006. Today, CIS is a thriving learning
hub, with pupils from as many as 17 nationalities from local
and expatriate communities. The school continues to grow
in size and stature, adapting to the evolving needs of the
students of the future.
By 2025 CIS will be recognised as a school that sets the
benchmark in India for its learner-centric, individualised
and holistic education. This will enable its students to be
lifelong learners with an inclusive and socially responsible
worldview who can lead themselves and others in a fast-
changing world.
The mission of CIS is to impart comprehensive, student-
centred education compatible with international standards.
The school shall provide a welcoming, respectful, and
multicultural environment, enabling superior academic
accomplishment.
Ensuring Education of High Standards
The school prides itself in its role as a learning hub- with a
strong cosmopolitan culture, safe and secure environment,
well-trained teachers, enviable student-teacher ratio, and
modern infrastructure, all geared to deliver two kinds of
international curricula, adhering to the best international
standards.
Its pedagogy is geared towards facilitating the self-
actualisation of the students. The core values of the school
rest on the curriculum framework incorporating the six
principles of collaboration, critical thinking, learner agency,
research skill development, and effective communication.
Strive for a Better Society
Pupils of CIS are provided with ample opportunities to
grow and evolve to the best of their potential, with academ-
ics and co-curricular activities given equal weightage at
every level.
The core values of CIS are empathy, responsibility, and a
high happiness quotient where every member of the
community is accepted, respected, and valued.
The school employs a progressive approach towards the
cause of improving education in India. It constantly strives
to provide a viable curricula framework that will define
every learning experience that the students at the school
21

undergo. These principles determine the focus and objective
of every learning activity across all grades. This education
is wholly learner-centric and inclusive, based upon a blend
of the latest and time-tested best teaching practices. This
ensures that students in its care receive an education that
meets the best standards of national and international
education.
Its students believe in the concept of each one teaching one.
They engage with disadvantaged youth through various
initiatives and teach them valuable skills.
Standing Tall Against Barriers
Over the course of the years, the school has faced myriad
challenges but has managed to take the right measures to
overcome them. Some of them are:
• Increasing demand for seats – The school has grown in
popularity over the years due to its constant striving to
evolve with the times and the changing needs of
students. The school policy of the student-teacher ratio,
which remains at 24:1, has not been allowed to be
compromised because effective teaching and learning
can only happen when teachers and students are in
close communion with each other.
• Limited infrastructure – The school morphed from an
informal setting into a full-fledged school over the
years. This has put additional pressure on the availabil-
ity of space to accommodate more subject options. The
management has taken the bold decision of refurbish-
ing the entire facility with new premises that will
accommodate all the infrastructural requirements of the
school.
• Pressures from a conventional mindset regarding
education – The school has often faced challenges in
the form of doubts regarding its child-centric educa-
tion, which offers learners greater agency in their
learning. Sometimes parents, who come from conven-
tional schooling systems, insist on the advantages of
sticking to the syllabus. But this challenge has been
mitigated over the years as they have come to realise
the merits of a schooling system that helps create
learners and not mould clones.
The school offers a definitive programme of ECA which is
compulsory from grades 3 to 8. These activities include
Robotics, Western Dance, Photography, Taekwondo, Chess,
Football, Basketball, Table Tennis and Cricket. Students are
invited to take up one ECA of their choice and pursue its
development over the course of the years.
Prioritising Holistic Development
The school believes in holistic development and the great
value of sports and other activities. Students who pursue
extracurricular activities at an advanced level are helped to
make up missed classes, thus enabling them to balance
academics and ECAs.
The school is proud that many of its students are nationally
ranked in various sports.
International mindedness is an important part of the
school’s approach. It has students from 17 different
nationalities and is a very diverse community.
The school celebrates various international festivals and
th
occasions, such as the 4 of July, Bastille Day, Korean
Independence Day, Dia de les Muertos, etc. Parents are
invited into classes to talk about the countries they come
from and their cultures.
Apart from that, the school also offers several unique
programmes to allow for global exposure to its students.
CIS has a dream it is currently fulfilling- that of new
upgraded school premises, which will meet the challenges
of the growing school in the near future.

n schools, it is the responsibility of teachers to dish out
Iexperiences the child can live, remember and anchor
himself with. And today, the education sector faces the
prominent challenge of inculcating experiences that'll shape
the young. The sum of a person's experience is pre-
eminently dominated by their adolescent years, and
therefore schools acquire more signiﬁcance than anything
else ever will.
Intelligence, core competencies, natural ﬂair and
inclination, when tapped at the right time, can be
engineered, accentuated, sharpened and strengthened by
experiences. The dynamics of modern life have rendered
plain academic pursuit redundant; it can't quantify it when it

comes to real-life situations. A child is capable of surprising
anybody and everybody.
The crowded classrooms can make the children suffer from
an early age. Therefore, along with designing a better
curriculum, it is equally important to foster a positive
environment where children can feel safer. A few schools
stand out amidst the clamour of education with their
genuine efforts and noble approaches.
Mayoor School, Ajmer, was founded with the same noble
approach on the 9th of July, 1980, under the auspices of the
Mayo College General Council. The school, which started
with one hundred and eighty-six boys and girls and a
teaching staff comprising seven members, has flourished by
leaps and bounds over the forty and more years of its
existence.
The number of students has grown to Two Thousand two
hundred and Fifty plus, and the teaching community now
comprises a Hundred and Ten plus members. Mayoor
School, Ajmer, has developed into one of the finest
examples of a progressive and comprehensive educational
institution to be found anywhere within the shores of the
country and beyond.
Nurturing Balanced Individuals
The school upholds the vision statement- ‘To be a
progressive school where each child grows into a balanced
individual, rooted in the Indian culture, with a global
outlook.’
With a mission to design and maintain a safe and functional
physical environment that is conducive to the fulfilment of
its educational objectives, the school strives to create and
nurture a climate that fosters and promotes emotional health
and spiritual well-being, marked by love and mutual
understanding.
Mayoor School endeavours to transact the most effective
curriculum, incorporating the best educational practices
from around the world; working on this line, Mayoor has
been a registered Cambridge International School (IN920)
since 2013 and has successfully ceded out five batches of
AS/A Level students with a global mindset. Many of its
students have secured excellent scholarships and are
studying at various prestigious Universities all around the
world.
Beyond the Textbooks
From cutting-edge technology to sporting equipment,
Swimming Pool, lush green Waddington Grounds,
Basketball Court, Shooting Range, Climbing Wall, State-of-
the-art Labs with all the safety measures, well stocked
25

Physical and Digital Library, all are well thought of and in
place when it comes to the infrastructure of the school.
Mayoor School provides experiential learning to all its
students. Robotics and STEM labs are places where the
students move beyond just the textbook examples and are
given the liberty to redesign and restructure. The students'
inquisitiveness to explore beyond the known and
established has helped them achieve accolades at the state
and national level exhibitions and competitions.
The students at Mayoor are always encouraged to explore
their potential in the world of art. May it be theatre and
drama or fine arts with its various mediums or music-
Mayoorites are given opportunities to recognise and hone
their skills with trained mentors in each of the aforesaid
fields.
International Linkages
The school also has exchange programmes that embody one
of the priority aims of internationalism at Mayoor- 'To
Foster Learning in Partnership.' With the essential
cooperation of its international linkages in the United
Kingdom and Germany, these exchange programmes have
become a regular feature of Life at Mayoor.

Stuttgart, Germany and Mayoor School, Ajmer, in 2019,
where a group of 18 students and two teachers visited the
school, the Exchange Programme has become a yearly
feature. It is looked forward to by students and parents
alike as the exchange students stay with the host families.
Student-led and student-centred 39 clubs are in place
where learning with stimulating activities takes place.
Students, under the guidance of a faculty member, run
these clubs and organise activities related to their field of
interests. Clubs like the MUN Club give them insight into
world problems and sensitise them to global challenges
and international social and diplomatic relations.
Global Citizen Club works further on the same line and
gives the club members a chance to step out of the school
boundaries and support and work for the underprivileged,
aged and children with special needs.
Fostering the Environment of Independent Learning
Students of all ages are given the opportunity to
strengthen their bond with nature and understand and
appreciate the interdependence through the various
expeditions and tours to various parts of the country.
School staff and trained travel and adventure sports
experts plan and execute such age-appropriate trips to
suitable places.
The creative tension that is ignited by all the activities in
and out of the school boundaries sets a stage where the
child understands the role of independent learning and the
interdependence of the teacher-taught, and this brings out
the effervescence of a well-rounded personality of a
Mayoorite.
Fighting the Limitations

Principal of Mayoor

abroad, he has also established exchanges with
more than ten schools overseas, including the
prestigious Eton College, Windsor.
He is a certified Debating Coach from the
Worlds Schools Debate Academy, Kranjska

He has written for The Times of India, is the
Series Editor of Pearson's ELT Series and trains
for the Trinity College London Examination in
Speech and Drama.
He has conceptualised, designed and directed
over 40 full-length productions wherein he has
flirted with 'Rhymed Iambic Pentameter',
experimented with 'Ensemble Acting' and
adapted 'Commedia dell'arte Classics' into
'Verse Plays.' He has also transcribed Old Time
Radio Plays into stage-worthy productions.
Richard Bach in 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull'
says, "How much more there is now to living!
Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to
the fishing boats, there's a reason to live! We
can lift ourselves out of ignorance; we can find
ourselves as creatures of excellence and
intelligence, and skill. We can be free! We can
learn to fly! It is not easy to achieve, for we
have to create unique experiences which have
never been tried, leave alone tested. Do we
have the heart to do it?" The principal's vision
is to empower children to create such an
experience which empowers the children to
fight the limitation of their being and not be
overwhelmed by numbers, the number is, but a
limit, and perfection doesn't have any.

Preparing

Students
for a Globalized
June 2023 28
Cambridge
Education
with
Education is one of the most
important aspects of human lives as it
develops individuals into responsible,
skilful and productive professionals.
The education ministry and the
school/college authorities modify the
course curriculum from time to time.
However, the modern commercial
and industrial world is evolving
rapidly with phenomenal

developments that are redeﬁning
industry trends.
It has become a matter of utmost
importance to have a modern education
that has the aspects of the latest trends,
equips the students with the essential
skills and knowledge, and makes them
adept with regard to the global
scenario. The rise of globalisation has
opened numerous opportunities for
trade, education, information
exchange, cooperation and several
joint ventures in commercial, social,
environmental and economic
development.
The rise of international education,
oﬀering the golden combination of
modern trends, values and high global
standards, has gained steady
importance. Cambridge University has
been one of the prominent global
destinations reputed for exceptional
education standards and values that
were far ahead in logic, language,
values and student competencies.
Instilling Essential Skills
29

English Language Proficiency
The teaching pattern of Cambridge is a well-defined and
properly laid out program that helps the students practice
from all dimensions of the English language, including
grammar practice, aspects of literature, comprehending and
developing confidence in its usage. Several sessions of
vocabulary building, analysis of the renowned authors and
poets with their messages, deciphering historical texts,
hearing inspiring speeches, etc.
Excellence in Presentation and Research Skills
In the detailed sessions, the students gain important
presentation skills in terms of reading, writing and speaking
confidently. Detailed and exhaustive teaching involves
reading about numerous topics and verticals involving
extensive practice. Public speaking, one-to-one
conversation, and the art of listening and understanding the
deeper perspectives of the communication objectives.
Students get to participate in the speech and debate sessions
that help them improve themselves and develop their
understanding of language and communication skills.
Modern Progressive Pedagogy
Students are taught using the modern tools of learning and
development that harness their potential and make them
aware through continuous series of assessments. Students
gain the knowledge and effective usage of the language
from various perspectives of social, economic, trade and
commerce, science and technology with other subjects.
The writing practice sessions help the students in improving
their English writing skills and verify their progress through
immediate self-assessments as well. The team thinks about
learning first and the tool to help with that second. This is
not new thinking, but it can be not easy to move away from
using technology just because one can. What the students
need to know is its unique value and its contribution.
Earlier, everyone had pens or coursebooks; they could have
been considered 'technologies.' Now they are normalised
tools for learning. Tools they wouldn't second guess, misuse
or apply to situations in which they are not useful. The
same should go for technology. What they want to ensure is
that each piece of technology is a good fit for the
pedagogical goal we're trying to achieve.
Rapid Self-study
The modern aspect of Cambridge's teaching technique is
about the encouraging module of self-study, where all the
documents, books and study materials are provided to the
students. The students need to study on their own and give
the tests provided with it. This makes them agile and
voracious learners eager to understand more about the
usage of grammar, examples, quotes, figures of speech and
many other aspects that polish their language skills.
Value-based Learning
The Cambridge methodology sets a global standard for
education and is recognised by universities and employers
worldwide. The curriculum is flexible, challenging,
inspiring, and culturally sensitive, yet international in
approach. Cambridge students develop an informed
curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. They also gain
the essential skills they need for success at university and in
their future careers. For grades 1 through 8, Lessons for
Life teaches pupils critical moral principles.
These principles play a fundamental role in shaping a
person's sensibilities and awakening their conscience. The
television show follows the National Curriculum
Framework (NCF) 2005's guidelines for the education for
peace curriculum. The show takes an open-minded,
impartial, and secular stance.
Additionally, it instils in the students the virtues of justice,
sympathy, peace, and tolerance. The new edition keeps all
the essential elements of the original, including carefully
graded and structured chapters, a variety of texts from
various sources for a holistic approach, an engaging range
of exercises and activities to make learning fun, and
activities suitable for various learning environments.
Versatile Curriculum
The Cambridge worldwide curriculum is used in more than
10,000 schools across more than 160 nations. The theory
and approach of the curriculum are global, but they can be
modified to fit local conditions.
Students in Cambridge study for internationally approved
and renowned Cambridge qualifications. Additionally,
schools may integrate national curricula with the
Cambridge International Curriculum. The same curriculum
can be continued by Cambridge pupils who transfer
between Cambridge schools.

Schools
Cultivating Cross-cultural Understanding among Pupils
A well-rounded educa on that
equips students for success in
both their personal and professional
life is something Solitaire Global
Schools are dedicated to oﬀering.
June 2023 32

The child's intellectual and
emotional development is the
main focus of contemporary
education. Therefore, co-curricular
activities must be used as a significant
adjunct to academic instruction. Some
schools in modern times have perfectly
amalgamated curricular and co-
curricular activities.
21st-century learning refers to the
acquisition of knowledge and practical
abilities during the academic process,
including communication, cooperation,
creativity, and critical thinking. While
many schools today may make similar
promises, only a select number are
actually able to meet all the needs of
today's students.
Located in the thriving metropolis of
Hyderabad, Attapur and Kattedan,
Solitaire Global Schools can be a
prime example of a school that fulfils
the duties of making itself
comprehensive. It was launched by
Mir Murtuza Ali, an Experienced
entrepreneur with a demonstrated
history of success in chosen businesses
& fields. Along with Solitaire Global
Schools he has also launched and
,
managed UTlines, Solitaire Fitness
Chain & Glorium Schools.
The mission of the founder was to
incorporate activities that enhance the
qualities of the spirit. He believes these
qualities are as important as academic
learning.
It is a prestigious organisation that
takes pleasure in offering its students a
top-notch education. Solitaire Global
Schools provide a favourable learning
environment for kids to explore, learn,
and grow thanks to state-of-the-art
infrastructure, including well-

both their personal and professional
lives. The faculty at the school is made
up of professionals who are passionate
about giving children a high-quality
education.
Succeeding in Fast-paced
Environment
The academic programme of the
school is built on the widely respected
Cambridge curriculum. In order to
prepare students for success in a fast-
paced and interconnected world, the
curriculum is created to cultivate
critical thinking, analytical skills, and
problem-solving aptitudes. It also
encourages effective communication,
cultural awareness, and social
responsibility. Students are inspired to
think creatively, explore their passions
and interests, and develop into global
citizens who can benefit society at
Solitaire Global Schools.
Offering a range of extracurricular
activities, in the opinion of Solitaire
Global Schools, is essential for kids'
overall growth. It provides a variety of
chances for its students to explore their
interests and learn new skills, such as
sports, music, theatre, and community
service. In order to better prepare them
for the problems of the real world,
33

these activities give students a platform
to demonstrate their creativity,
leadership, and teamwork abilities.
Making Learning an Engaging
Experience
To ensure that pupils are thoroughly
engaged, the school also adds
meaningful activities to the curriculum
in addition to extracurricular ones.
Lesson plans that are dynamic,
interesting, and in line with
international standards are created by

creativity, and the school fosters these
abilities through the use of cutting-
edge teaching techniques.
A well-rounded education that equips
students for success in both their
personal and professional life is
something the school is dedicated to
offering. It holds that producing future
world leaders who can have a
beneficial impact on the globe requires
healthy learning experiences.
Fostering Cross-cultural
Understanding
The students of Solitaire from grades
8, 9, and 10 recently got the chance to
discover various cultures and ways of
life at the Maa Anandmaye School
(MAMS) in Dehradun, a beautiful city
in north India, as part of the AFS
Cultural Exchange Programme.
Students were matched with their
MAMS counterparts and given a
chance to converse about their various
cultures over the course of nine days,
fostering cross-cultural understanding
and global knowledge.
The summer camp offers flexible
scheduling options with morning and
evening sessions to accommodate
students and parents. Overall, the
summer camp is proving to be highly
successful in empowering students,
fostering a love for sports, and
promoting physical activity.

Well-developed Assessment
Methodology
Good assessment lies at the heart of a
good education. Its assessments are
designed to be fair, valid, reliable and
practicable so that every Cambridge
exam provides a true picture of a
student's ability, wherever and
whenever the exam was taken. This
means the assessments have real,
lasting value and can be a lifelong
passport to study further or
employment.
Accurately Assessed Learning
Its end-of-programme assessments
June 2023 44
give students focus, motivation and a
challenge. Assessment is in English
and is accessible to speakers of English
as a second or foreign language. Its
flexible, linear assessment structure
maximises teaching and learning time,
encouraging a strong grasp of the
subject being studied. This helps to
support new thinking and encourages
cross-curricula connections.
Assessment for Learning
Assessment for learning (AFL) is an
approach to teaching and learning that
creates feedback that is then used to
improve students' performance. AFL
connects teaching and assessment
objectives across curriculum
frameworks and syllabuses and helps
teachers plan learning for both the
class and the individual student. CAIE
support teachers' understanding of AFL
through the professional development
courses and qualifications. AFL also
helps students identify specific goals
and how to achieve them, providing a
clear focus for learning while also
developing Cambridge learner
attributes.
Cambridge CEM
The partnership with Cambridge CEM
provides educators with a great
opportunity for assessment for
learning. The baseline and diagnostic
assessments measure learners' progress
at each stage of the Cambridge
Pathway, allowing one to identify
student's strengths and weaknesses and
tailor the teaching effectively. They can
also predict learners' performance at
Cambridge IGCSE, O Level and AS &
A Level, so they can make sure
learning is on track.
