Experiential learning is a process through which students develop knowledge, skills, and values from direct experiences outside a traditional academic setting. It emphasizes learning through action, reflection, and application.

Making lessons meaningful for students is a key element of successful teaching, with relevance playing a vital role in learner engagement. When students perceive their learning as relevant to their lives, they become emotionally invested and more motivated to engage with the content. Establishing real-world connections fosters curiosity and a genuine interest in learning and problem-solving, driven by intrinsic motivation rather than external factors like grades.

Integrating multiple subjects when teaching a topic helps students relate to and retain the information for the long term. For instance, integrating math and music or using math concepts to teach dance allows students to see the connections between disciplines, making the learning experience more engaging and memorable. This interdisciplinary approach not only enhances understanding but also fosters a deeper appreciation for how different fields of knowledge interrelate in the real world.

We teach our primary students basic life skills, to foster independence such as making a bed, organizing things, understanding money concepts, making to-do list etc. During assemblies, we show videos that illustrate human values like empathy and helping others. For our senior students, we aim to foster a culture of innovation, ideation, creativity, design thinking, and entrepreneurship through various activities and platforms, including internships and specialized lessons on design thinking and innovation.

We prioritize the holistic development of our students, recognizing the significant role that social and emotional skills play in their lives from an early age. We teach the importance of clear communication, active listening, cooperation, collaborative problem-solving, constructive conflict resolution, navigating diverse social and cultural contexts, leadership, and seeking or offering help as needed. Through assemblies, discussions, and active participation, we expose students to various current world and societal issues and encourage them to share their thoughts, fostering their understanding and development of these essential skills.

Arts integration is "an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form. Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject and meets evolving objectives in both."

Through art integration, students use alternative ways (e.g., dancing, acting, writing, speaking, drawing, singing) to make sense of content they are learning and demonstrate their understanding.
