BASE announces innovative programs for students this summer

BASE, the Bangalore based premier training organisation providing quality training for competitive examinations has announced innovative learning programs this summer – Discover & N Skill. These programs have been devised by a team of professionals including child psychologists and senior teachers for the students of classes 5 to 8 and are not disjoint from the academic subjects and complement the learning at school. The classes for these programs will commence from 1st week of April and will be held for 12 days. The aim of the summer programs is to make students enjoy their summer holidays getting exposed to a flavor of experiential learning, improving skills and have a wonderful time enjoying outdoor activities.

Discover is a unique, beyond classroom learning platform that enables children to explore experiment and experience learning with fun. It is an activity based experiential learning programme that will help students to seek the next level of learning in Science and Mathematics. Discover makes learning fun and engages the student attention through doing hands-on activities.

N Skill is a unique child centric initiative focussed on nurturing life skills in the formative stages of children and enables them to extend their learning from the class room to real life situations. The programme comprises of activities which are facilitated through different techniques like role- play, mind mapping, brain storming, debate, group discussion, painting, crafts etc which makes learning fun-filled and effective.

“The key feature of the activity based learning is that it uses child-friendly educational aids to foster self-learning and allows a child to study according to his or her aptitude and skill. The curriculum has been designed to offer learning and play opportunities for our children that support and enhance their creativity, discovery, and exploration. It helps the students in better understanding of the subject and results in effective retention. The core objective of these programs is to enable learning without the pressure of performing and promote the joy of true learning said” said Vallish Herur Director, BASE.
