Vista International School Hyderabad: Pioneering Experiential Learning and 21st-Century Skills

Providing engaging experiential learning experiences is a signature move of Vista International School. For the primary grades, the school has collaborated with Yardsticks, a company that innovatively designs project material. Each student is given a set of materials from Yardsticks with which they make projects involving the concepts which they have learnt. This allows the student to understand the concept better with hands-on learning, enhances critical thinking, and helps fix the concepts in the student’s memory. Moreover, this will give students a sense of excitement and make them enthusiastic for the next part of learning.

For the secondary grades, Vista School has created the Makerspace lab, which is fully equipped with tools and other supplies for making projects. Here, the students of Vista explore 3-D printing, coding, and robotics and work on making projects together. The Makerspace lab is a place where teamwork, leadership, innovation, fun, and learning meet with 21st-century skills.

Vista School is the first among the very few schools to open a Multi-Skill Lab on its premises, in alignment with the NEP 2020. The higher grades are provided with the Multi-Skill lab where they choose a skill to work on, such as carpentry, plumbing, electronics, etc. Earlier, Vista International School had collaborated with an esteemed university for these skills but has now become one of the few schools in Hyderabad to have a fully functional inhouse Multi-Skill lab. The skills learned in this lab can prove useful in the student’s later years as a career option driven by passion. The lab also revolves around essential 21st-century skills while delivering an enjoyable experience.

Vista International School focuses on building useful skills from an early age along with other essential skills such as critical thinking and teamwork, ensuring the holistic development of students, and allowing them to learn for life.
