How We Engage

The School believes in nurturing students through continuous engagement in multiple domains. Our Studio mode of learning addresses various scales from miniature objects to metropolises. This mode of learning enables students to organize intuitive inputs, and develop various tools (backed by Design Thinking), to find solutions for problems.
