“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao Tzu
We began our journey with the British Council ISA project with the formulation of blueprint and the formation of the core team which was going to replicate the plan of incorporating global learning activities into reality.
Children’s enthusiasm in all the ISA activities accelerated the pace of the journey towards a satisfactory level. Collaborative activities like writing letters to their peers in the USA and many Skype sessionson various topics and activities with other partnership countrieswere not only excellent learning experience but also the source of making school a joyful place for the students.
Meeting with children of same age groups around the world was very exhilarating and confidence building experience for the students and we thank the British Council for encouraging schools to undertake such projects. These activities opened the doors of ten worlds for the children. It is needless to say that it became possible only because we chose to be the part of the ISA project.
Our parents too are full of praise and appreciate the effort of the school for providing the students with the world class environment and exposure to initiate the process of global citizenship.
As the saying by John F Kennedy goes, “The highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them” we are committed to rendering an enriching learning experience to the students by collaborating our curriculum with that of the world.
