]]> How does an CBSE student benefit from studying at WIS? https://www.wittykidsindia.com/faq/how-does-an-cbse-student-benefit-from-studying-at-wis/ Mon, 09 Aug 2021 06:17:35 +0000 http://beta.wittykidsindia.com/?post_type=faq&p=474 As a school that offers both National and International curricula, we are uniquely placed to blend the best elements of these different systems at various levels. The school-wide professional development of teachers through conferences and workshops serves as an effective platform to appreciate and share the strengths inherent in both curricula.

These help us to thoughtfully appreciate the curriculum requirements and pedagogical approaches at the higher Classes and meaningfully carry down and align them to the lower Classes. We believe that this trickle-down effect greatly supplements our efforts of instilling in children an early ability to develop research skills, think creatively, be self-reliant, as well as of creating an intrinsic excitement that will finally make them lifelong learners. Thus, we are able to offer our students a continuum of learning and progression within the school, as well as elsewhere.

This is exciting for us, as it allows for our students to form life-long bonds with their classmates and long-term staff.  It also creates an environment where the student has time to fully embrace the school’s educational philosophy.

As with any international school, there is a mix of longer-serving staff and others who spend just two to four years. The school is committed to encouraging the majority of staff to stay for a minimum of five or six years, and our salary, benefit and professional development policies are geared towards that end.

ICSE offers a wide syllabus which is  application-based and requires the students to think beyond the prescribed syllabi to  excel. IB follows an altogether different approach where there are no prescribed  textbooks and kids are free to explore the myriad world of books. 

ICSE and CBSE students have a better footing in Indian sub-continent as the syllabus is well  aligned with most of the professional entrance examinations. Cambridge students however compete well in exams where  there is little amount of rote learning and requires higher degree of analytical skills like SAT, CAT, GRE and highly skill based Indian exams.
