Panchmukhi Shiksha
Samashti Group of schools aim to make every Samashtian, physically fit, intellectually objective, morally responsible, spiritually conscious and emotionally balanced- a holistic approach to education covering the three domains of cognitive, psychomotor and affective.
Flipped Classroom
Flipping the LOTS (Lower Order Thinking Skills) to the home space, by introducing the concepts through curated videos and honing the HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) and deepening the knowledge through meaningful discussions in the classroom.
Interdisciplinary Approach
Samashti education helps the students perceive the connections between the various disciplines, understand the interdependency of the subjects- of the underlying mathematics in a musical melody or the beauty of art in a science diagram. An interdisciplinary approach leads to learning that is retained for life.
Nature based Learning
Samashti campuses are vast and green, paving the way for a close bonding with nature, as children learn in an atmosphere surrounded by nature. Shinrin Yoku (Learning in and from nature) is a regular practice at the school. The in-house developed pre-primary curriculum, Srishti Gyan, is an amalgamation of the best teaching practices of early education such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, Inquiry-based learning, Activity based learning etc. In the Srishti Gyan books, the children meet nature in every page. They grow up with a feeling of strong affection for and an equally strong sense of responsibility and caring towards Mother Earth and all her creations.
Tech-smart Education
At Samashti, students learn through technology and about technology. Smart classrooms, Ipads with Apple in Education, computer labs, in-house developed ERP Learning Management System, Artificial Intelligence and many more to ensure STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) integrated curriculum.
Communication and Leadership Skills
Samashtians develop strong communication skills right from pre-primary. The kindergarteners practice opinion writing and Weave a Story with given pictures. As they step into primary school, daily SamEd Talks prepares them for good and confident oration skills. Every child from grade 1, is made a job manager to develop leadership skills as well as to learn to shoulder responsibilities.
Future Ready Skills
Samashtians are given varied and unique learning experiences at the state-of-the art learning spaces provided like the culinary lab, radio room, media lab and through practical literacy programmes on various streams such as Media, Legal, Financial, through specialised workshops on varied skills and professions like Astronomy, Aeromodelling, Pottery, Puppetry, Robotics, Theatre.
