Description

School-Curated Fully Student-Initiated

Students choose from a list of learning activities recommended by the school.

Students identify and pursue areas of interest on their own, after seeking parental consent and teacher’s endorsement.

Role of Teachers

Teachers will do the necessary risk assessment before recommending the activities.

Teachers will evaluate the proposed activity for educational outcomes and safety before allowing students to proceed.
