Times have changed tremendously in the past decade. Shouldn’t education, too?
It is almost archaic to think that the traditional education thought process is still relevant today. With every passing day, we are upgrading. Inventions and technological advancements happen almost every day and unless we nurture our children to keep up, we cannot hope for a bright future. This is exactly why we think that our education system needs to be upgraded. Thankfully, the revolution has already started and there are schools like Edify World School from the DRS Group that have customized their curriculum to suit today’s children.
The DRS Group has a number of schools under its belt. Each of them promises high-quality education through national and international curricula. Our focus today is on one of its budding prodigies – Edify World School, which is on the fast track to make a difference in our society.
Edify World School resides in Balanagar beside the Balaji Township in Mallapur Village. Lush greenery surrounds the school, making it a pleasant environment for child growth and happiness.
The school displays a unique, interesting mode of education through an integrated curriculum called the 3C. The 3C curriculum aims at building Character, Competence, and Content in every child. This approach, the school claims, “creates a life-like experience” for children.
The average annual tution fees at Edify World school varies between Rs.18,800 to Rs.31,200. Admission fees is Rs.25,000 and transportation charges varies from Rs.8,500 to Rs.11,500.
A school that is actively promoting a new way of learning must have the infrastructure to complement it. Edify World School does! From classrooms to the resource center and everything else, the entire campus seems to be conducive to interactive learning.
They are spacious, they are vibrant, and they are air-conditioned. Classrooms here are comfortable spaces where children participate in the process of learning.
The school also has E-classrooms that are fully-equipped with technological tools and facilitators so that they get a taste of the future along with their regular lessons.
What’s education without experimentation? Just theory. And, theoretical learning is not really effective. Edify World School has laboratories that emulate its focus on interactive education. Each lab has models, kits, tools, and other equipment to catch every child’s fancy by making lessons fun.
What is the other name for a treasure trove? A library! Edify’s library is stocked with over 15,000 books that are fascinating, educative, and resourceful.
Through its DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) program, which is conducted once a week, the school inspires children to read and make it a part of their lives.
All the world’s a stage and to prepare children for the performance called life, the school has amphitheaters. The school conducts events, meetings, seminars, workshops, and competitions in these spaces.
Progressive education includes games & sports, and the multiple sports complexes at Edify prove just that. A large playground, indoor sports complexes, and a separate play area for pre-primary children invite students to take a break and cool off every day.
The Sports Education Program (SEP) is a part of the curriculum through which children develop skills through physical activities.
Life skills program, arts education program, value education program, and DEAR program are just a few of the many initiatives Edify has taken to take learning beyond the classroom. Each of these programs aims at holistic development. Workshops, seminars, and clubs further enhance the learning experience for children.
The school’s buses are temperature-controlled and equipped with monitors that play informative videos through the journey. This step has been to ensure that children are entertained while they travel.
Vast dining halls welcome children to socialize over nutritious food that the food committee plans according to standards and nutritional requirements of growing children.
The school’s infirmary has multiple beds and latest first-aid equipment to ensure the safety of every child. An ambulance is also available on campus at all times to address emergencies.
While children are divided according to age into four categories (ESP, PSP, MSP, and SSP), the 3C curriculum remains constant from IK1 to 12th grade.
The 3C curriculum facilitates enquiry and participation. Children have the freedom to ask “why” while learning “what.” It is also a trans-disciplinary approach that focuses on every single individual regardless of his/her learning style. Through 3C children also learn skills such as leadership, innovation, responsibility, and problem-solving, which are essential to make a mark in the world outside the school’s walls.
Assessments in 3C are conducted every year to ensure that children master the 6 elements of learning:
This approach clearly taps into all spheres of learning and produces future-ready individuals.
Edify World School was recently ranked among the best schools in Hyderabad by Times and after our research and understanding, we think it deserves to stay on top.
