Find New Ways to Learn | Learning Areas
OUR PROCESS
The Ekya curriculum is designed based on the Understanding by Design (UbD) Framework, making ‘understanding’ the key to learning ‘by design.’ The curriculum is benchmarked against international standards and utilises research-based pedagogy, guiding us to plan meaningful learning experiences focused on conceptual understanding, skill-building, and aiding students in developing their metacognitive abilities.
Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in all learning areas.
Learn
Ekya is a community of children, educators, and parents where everyone learns together.
Think
At Ekya, thinking requires two important components: connect and enquire. By connecting with each other and the world around them, students gain a deeper understanding of complex issues. Enquiring allows students to ask important questions and challenge assumptions. Consequently, our learners think independently, explore new ideas, and develop their unique perspectives.
Do
At Ekya, the key aspects of our approach are to create, care, collaborate, and communicate. These skills encourage students to be creative and innovative problem solvers, to care for themselves and others, to work collaboratively towards common goals, and to communicate effectively.
LEARNING AREAS
CMR University
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
