Senior Programme: Fostering Self-Directed Learning
The Senior Programme caters to the maturing of young adults who are grappling with the insecurities and challenges typical of teenage years. As a result, the atmosphere at the school is lively and abuzz with the enthusiasm and imaginative spirit of the learners.
At the heart of the Senior Programme's teaching methods is a dialogic and participatory approach to learning. Students are continuously encouraged and empowered to take control of their own learning and assume responsibility for it. To facilitate this, our educators adopt a less traditional role, instead being available to co-create educational and motivational support.
Overall, Adani International School provides a supportive and challenging environment that enables students to succeed academically and personally. With our focus on providing a well-rounded education, students are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the future
Pedagogy
The Senior School caters to maturing young adults who are becoming acquainted with challenges typical of teenage years. As a result, we strive to nurture an environment of curiosity, empathy, and innovation at senior school where teaching and learning is interactive, collaborative and experiential. The teacher is a guide who creates various opportunities for their holistic development and helps develop life skills, like leadership, self-discipline and perseverance, needed to shape students into transformational leaders ready to face all challenges in the future , leaders who take ownership of their own learning.
