Theory & Practical: our approach = Experts, Exposure + Experience
Our motto for approaching our elective subjects is "experts, exposure and experience" because we want our learners to have access to the best teachers (experts), get in touch with a variety of ideas and perspectives (exposure) and make sure they are ALWAYS engaged in active learning, trying things out for themselves and constructing their own skills & knowledge (experience).
Tune in to this episode to learn how Experts, Exposure + Experience works in a remote situation.

- How do we accommodate learners' different paces and developmental gaps or gifts?
- How do we ensure Math, Science & English are not just subjects that learners have to pass?
- How do we connect these subjects to the real world and make sure learners are able to apply what they learn?
