Learning Cycle at Agile Shaala

At Agile Shaala, learning follows a rhythm, not a rigid schedule. Each two-month cycle begins with Phenomenon Week, where children explore real-world themes through hands-on projects and showcase their discoveries. This is followed by three weeks of subject-focused learning, deepening understanding through classes, discussions, and self-paced work.

Daily scrum meetings and the LearnBahn visualizer help track progress and reflect on goals. Monthly quizzes and open-book assessments reinforce concepts and celebrate learning through thoughtful application.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is rooted in how the brain learns best — through Multiple Intelligences and Bloom’s Taxonomy. Learning at Agile Shaala is hands-on, interconnected, and meaningful, blending storytelling, experiments, movement, and reflection.

Subjects come alive through interdisciplinary projects, helping children grow as thinkers, explorers, and lifelong learners.

Assessments

Assessment at Agile Shaala is a continuous journey, not a one-time test. We follow an open-book, competency-based model that values understanding over memorization.

Through weekly assignments, daily reflections, and monthly assessments, students build recall, apply concepts, and grow as learners. Feedback from mentors, peers, and self-assessments fosters a collaborative, empowering learning environment.

Knowmads trip

Every two months, our learners become Knowmads — exploring the world through immersive, real-life learning journeys.

They meet diverse people, experience new environments, and build skills like observation, collaboration, and reflection — nurturing empathy, adaptability, and a lifelong love for discovery.

Annual Event

Our Annual Event is a vibrant celebration of our learners’ growth, creativity, and discoveries.

Children showcase their projects and talents, sharing not just what they know — but how they think, grow, and express themselves. It captures the bold, learner-led spirit of Agile Shaala.
