At Sishya our philosophy is:
- children must have some control over the direction of their learning
- children have a relationship with other children and with material items in the world that children must be allowed to explore
- children should have opportunities to be creative and express themselves
- children must be encouraged to dialogue, compare, negotiate and solve problems
- children must be guided to make thoughtful and responsible decisions
- children should see the connections in learning and experiences
- group work is considered valuable and necessary to advance cognitive development.
- teacher and children should collectively foster the connection between home, school and community.
