EXPERIENTIAL ART EDUCATOR
(A Great Opportunity to Learn & Teach Project-Based-Learning)

About Us

(Start with this Presentation to get a comprehensive overview of our School)

The Polymath School is Mumbai's first K-12 Project-Based-Learning (PBL) School.

In projects that typically last 3-4 months, we integrate rich content, 21st-century skills and human values in the context of a real-life problem or a challenge. The interdisciplinary nature of projects, along with the real-life context, makes learning come alive for students and educators
(Examples - Organic Farming Project, "Building a Frog Habitat").

Even though we are a school, we try to maintain a start-up culture. The reason for that is simple - if we want our students to develop life-skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, etc., we, the facilitators (educators), need to live it ourselves.

A Thriving Art Scene
In our country, the “arts” are considered more a hobby than a true “academic” pursuit. But by keeping the arts on the fringes, we are doing a disservice to our students. Arts can inculcate tremendous passion, commitment and discipline in a child. An appreciation of arts makes her more reflective and open to others’ points-of-view. In our school we would like to encourage a very lively arts scene

Responsibilities
An art teacher is the heart of any Project-Based-Learning Schools. So much that good PBL schools feel more like museums than schools, with high-quality student-work hanging on the walls, and in every nook and corner. (This adventure playground was created by our Art Teacher from scratch.)

Grade +) in a progressive manner.
