The learning at RPS is never about classes and books because it is a process of immersion, where the combination of creativity, knowledge and education will become an enjoyable experience. As the world of education is continuously evolving, RPS is not lagging behind and introduces teaching methods provoking the desire to explore, encouraging some discovery and leveraging the abilities of every child.
It is because it has a good background in the CBSE curriculum that the school is no longer limited to the traditional methods of learning, but can create learning experiences that are meaningful, memorable as well as transformational.
RPS Philosophy: Learning Multisensory
RPS does not consider learning to be uni-sensory. The child pours not just learning by reading but sights, hears, touches, moves and expresses.
The school understands that students have a different learning style. This diversity requires flexible and changing approaches that are not as rigid as patterns of teaching.
“At RPS, every child becomes a creator of their own future”
