23. Inventuring
“Inventuring”: Our first week approach to classes, sets the tone and ground
expectations about what learning is: a hands on, experiential activity based process.
The idea is to get students to THINK – to brainstorm, utilize creativity, and work
successfully and harmoniously in groups, to bond with each other, the faculty and
nature, in the process. Read more…

learning at Primary School
• Science, EVS, Social Studies, Art, Math, English,
Dance, Music, Drama, and Physical Education are all
interwoven to make the Theme relevant and
holistic based on the CIE and CISCE guidelines.
• Students move from theme to theme understanding
and experiencing concepts through activities that
nurture their Multiple intelligences in consonance
with Bloom’s Taxonomy. Watch Howard Gardner’s
visit to Inventure Academy
• Themes covered this year include “How are We
Organized?” and “How Much Do We Really Need?
Bloom’s Taxonomy

25. Celebration of Learning
• 398 Primary School children
performed for an audience of nearly
800 parents and grandparents,

Mahadevan Music Academy that
worked with these children on a
regular basis for over two months,
the students conveyed their
understanding about a global concern
for the future of our planet through a
range of displays.
