Learning for living
Learning can not happen unless it is applied in real life. That is why the Indus curriculum is inspired by ‘life’, and made up of it. Real life experiences have been intricately woven into the Indus pedagogy. You will find your child learning fractions by baking a cake; marveling at the physics behind projectiles at the cricket pitch; attending a music appreciation class that introduces her to folk music and learning chemistry by dyeing a piece of cloth. Our curriculum is full of these and other real life experiences.

Newton on the cricket pitch!
Here’s an example of the infinite ways to learn. Imagine, the 9th standard understanding Newton’s laws of motion. At Indus, you will not find them in the classroom, but in the school auditorium watching an India- Pak ODI. Why does Sachin Tendulkar’s gentle tap to a pacy Waqar Yunus delivery send the ball speeding to the boundary line? Well, Sachin’s bat is heavier at 3.5kgs, instead of the normal 3kgs, enabling him to apply less force on the fast moving delivery. It’s Newton’s 2nd law in action! Next thing you know, we are on the cricket field trying out this concept for ourselves…
