After several years of establishment of APCL and School of Creative Learning,
it was felt necessary to set up a large campus to cater to a larger group of
students as well as increase the scope of activity. With this in mind, a plot
of land was acquired in Nargada Village, about 2 kms from Danapur Cantonment on
Danapur-Naubatpur Road, Danapur, Patna.
|
The plot of land is segmented in two parts. You can see the detailed plot layout by clicking on the image. The residential plot of land has been acquired by persons interested in supporting the activities of APCL. |
The Bhoomi-Pujan(Ground-Breaking
Ceremony) took place in March 2001 (See the picture
here). Now the first set of building has been completed and a school has started functioning here since academic session of 2003. Rest of the construction, wil be done in phases. We give below
details of this project for anybody wishing to understand the dimension/nature of the project. Site plan for the ground floor of school building at new campus

The main object of the project is to
Establish a School at Patna in the name of School of Creative Learning to provide quality education to children up to class X
Establish a Research Centre to develop and design tools of creative learning for the 6-14 years
Establish a Training Centre to disseminate the ideas of creative learning to teachers and educational administrators
Creativity is the most important quality for the development of human beings in the modern society. The present day education, which is based on rote- learning can produce only technological re-producer, who has little chance of coming to the top in the fast changing world. Further, we are too much dependent on the teachers and schools for our learning system, which only feels the obligation of passing on the informations rather than making the child skillful in the art of creating/collecting, analysing and presenting those informations in the useful manner. Hence, we are not able to produce world class scientists, writers, poets, artists, etc. on the scale we ought to have done on the basis of our long culture and large size of population.
The Expansion Project of APCL managed SCL (School of Creative Learning) is a step towards towards creation of a learning society, in which all organs of the society are involved in the learning process in continuous and sustained manner. All individuals are learners and all individuals and institutions are leaning facilitators.Such a situation is necessary for development of creative potential all individuals of society.
These days education is being seen as an empowerment process. The ultimate objective of the education system should be to empower people to fructify their own inherent potential. This empowerment is total, that is
Physical
Social
Cultural
Economic
Political
Moral
Thus, education system has to be designed in such a way that the inherent potential of all persons in respect of physical, social, economic, political, and moral dimensions should fully blossom in the process of learning.
These days education is no longer conceived as a classroom activity only, rather it is now seen to be acquired anywhere, anytime and by any process. What we should be concerned is the achievement and not the process or place of learning. A person like Rabindra Nath Tagore could learn without any formal schooling and achieve one of the greatest recognition in literature as Nobel Prize. Similarly, if Bill Gates can become one of the leading innovators of our times without much formal schooling, then entire learning system must be seen afresh with a new vision.
In this concept, education no longer remains a time-bound, place-bound process confined to the four boundaries of the school system and measured in terms of years of exposure of classroom teaching. Education is, now, equated with learning no matter how, where and when it is acquired. Clearly, as compared to the earlier structural and institutional approach, the functional approach to education is becoming more and more acceptable. A plant should get water in time, no matter whether it comes through rains or irrigation channels. So, a person has to get learning, no matter how and where it comes to him/her.
The avowed philosophy of the proposed school is to prepare the child to be a 24 hours and whole life learner. It should attempt to shape the character of its pupils in such a way that they become capable of taking leadership role in various fields of activities and profession in the new millennium. As we have indicated earlier the present education system mainly catered to develop children for obtaining jobs mainly in government. Now that jobs are shrinking children have to be prepared mainly for self employment. The school would try to provide such education that learners may not have any difficulty in establishing their own industry, business or institutions providing different services to the society.
This requires all round development of personality with a sound mind and healthy body. A person is now said to be learning 24 hours a day and all through his life. Hence, the major emphasis of the school would be to teach learners the art of learning rather than acquire a few informations and pass in particular examination. Students passing out from the school will be a learner for life. In this sense the school would provide a forum, where all the following four pillars of learning (identified by International Commission on Education in the 21st Century under the presidentship of Jacques Delors set up by UNESCO in its famous report named, "Learning: The Treasure Within") would be equally attended.
Learning to know
Learning to do
Learning to live together
Learning to be
No organization can run without money. Funds for the maintenance of the organization is essential.But, it can be procured either by directly charging money from the users or can be indirectly provided by the society. There is a positive advantage in the former that there is a direct accountability of the organization towards the users and thus they have to perform better at all cost. Even in the olden age the maintenance of schools was the duty of the society. Donations to schools teachers were considered to be the most pious job. The traditions were so strong that it was said that if a teacher comes to the house, he should be offered the meal first. Then only the hosts should take the meal.
It is often felt that schools opened by private individuals or a group of individuals are enterprises where, profits have to be earned at all costs. This is not true in all cases. In case of schools run by non-profit making societies the savings are utilized for the growth of the institution and are not cornered by any individuals. These savings play a crucial role in the development of such institution. Such organizations do not work for the motive of earning profit or having savings, but they work for certain social motive of reform and transformation. Such institutions can play an important role in the service sector as government schools fail to provide the desired level of service due to lack of accountability.
It is proposed to run this institution on self-supporting basis.
To underscore the importance of creativity in the society like minded people dedicated to the cause of promotion of creativity in society formed an association called Association for promotion of Creative Learning (APCL) which is a non profit making society registered under Societies Registration Act 1860 (Regn.No.171/97-98). It has, basically, been established to promote Creativity and Creative Learning in society. Since its inception in 1996-97, it has been able to establish its own identity in the field of child education. It has been able to evolve a unique teaching-learning methodology and evaluation system. To demonstrate the nature of changes in the education system, it has established a prototype school in the name of School of Creative Learning at Patna. This school works as a centre of action research in the field of new educational methodology/technology.
Scope of the proposed school project is to adopt a non-residential public school system designed to provide quality education of CBSE standard through English as medium of instruction. However, it will have classes commencing from nursery to class X. It will be a co-educational institution with a defined quota of reservation for S.C., S.T, OBC and economically depressed classes of candidates.
The school would also make special provision for mentally retarded and physically handicapped children. It would particularly cater to the needs of learning deficiencies in terms of multiple intelligence.
A group called Mukhar, which has been working as a teaching and research centre for Deaf, Dumb and Mentally retarded has also become associated with APCL/SCL recently. More detail about Mukhar is available here.
Proposed school shall be a progressing co-educational institutions with English as the medium of instruction. It will be an important wing of APCL committed to quality education through innovative methods and learning aids. The school curriculum shall conform to the CBSE standard and shall be modelled on the concept of day boarding schooling where the learners get competency for acquiring knowledge, skills and values for effective personal and professional gains in their future ahead.
The focus of the school shall be to provide an environment which is a fusion of the rich ancient cultural tradition of India with creativity and independence in thinking of west i.e. "focus on value education system which will inculcate among the students universal value and enrich his or her personality- intellectually, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually" Students shall be nurtured and grooved through love and affection and by persuasion and not by harsh methods of beating and ear pulling, Children will be encouraged to explore the mysteries of life and environment around them through project integrating art, craft, music, dance, drama, sports etc. Activities shall be designed to develop their fine motor skills and sensorial development.
The school is planned to be located in the village Nargada on Danapur Naubatpur main Road 2 Km away from Danapur Cantonment. It happens to be surrounded by Green fields. It is at a distance of about 3 kms from Danapur Railway station. One of the main features of the location is the fact that the area is near the famous village `Khagaul' (distorted form of `Khagol'(i.e. earth) named after the great astronomer and mathematician Aryabhatta)
To project the school as a fusion of the East and
the West, India's glorious past with its modernizing future The school
has adopted an emblem consisting of a maze of vertically upward and
downward triangle with a point in between emerging into sun and its
flame. It clearly symbolizes origin of universe and its existing
system, which is obviously the finest example of creativity of
nature. The school has adopted the great Brahman Saying "
" as its motto to emphasize the importance of dynamism in
creative learning.
The school shall have a House System, which will have 4 divisions :
Creative,
Constructive,
Imaginative, and
Cooperative.
Each child shall be allotted with a House after joining the school. Interhouse activities shall be planned to promote their competitiveness and cooperation with fellowmates.
Residential accommodation shall be provided to about 150 students. A Hostel Warden shall be appointed to look after the students, their studies, food and transit facilities. Preference shall be given to the students coming from outside Patna for admission to the Hostel, till a hostel is constructed. Later on the premises shall have its own regular hostels for boys and girls separately.
Generally public schools are charged with a social stigma of producing hypocrites. To some extent it was true, as seen from the point of view of preindependence British colonialists interested in utilizing the best talents available in the country among the feudal society of Rajahs and Landlords by adopting various segregative ways to keep the future administrators aways from the toiling masses then called the natives. But, when India acquired the status of sovereign democracy with leaning for socialism many evils of public school system disappeared. To keep this healthy trends up, the proposed school shall have a pattern of co-curricular activities which will promote the interaction of the students and their teachers with the residents in its immediate hinterland. The objective of such a co-curricular activity shall be to promote development in the the sphere of non-conventional energy, sanitation, housing, family planning, literacy, arts and culture etc. Co-curriculum shall be meticulously planned, to ensure participation of the people living around the school. This will also reduce social tensions and prejudices and promote social development in general. Students in turn learn to be kind and cooperative to the underprivileged and downtrodden class of people.
For instance social science will focus on values like democracy, tolerance, coexistence, respect for others views. Equally importance will be give to the role of school environment in spreading the message of value education. It has to be congenial. Full use will be made of morning assembly and the prayers sung there will certainly strengthen beliefs like secularism and patriotism.
Much as some may resent the intrusion of the television in our home, we will use them for teaching value education system through cartoons, strips, films, plays and even plain story telling. What is needed is that values are projected in a manner that children can relate and should have an earthly quality. The innocent but impressionable mind should be able to connect to what they see or hear with ordinary human beings they are familiar with. For instance, great leaders will not be presented in a manner that children feel that it is almost impossible for them to follow their ideals. The burden of studies seems to have virtually banished activities like NCC, scouts and guides. There revival will promote discipline, cooperation and a healthy attitude towards life. An academic activity like increasing reading habits will be encouraged, perhaps with a compulsory library period.
Admission to various classes shall be done strictly on the basis of admission test conducted every year on appointed dates subject to vacancies available in each class.
The test shall be conducted to evaluate the basic talents of candidates in Hindi, Mathematics, English and communicative skills. Interviews shall be conducted for screening out the candidates qualifying in the written test with 1:2 proportion for selection. All aspiring candidates will be required to get themselves registered after submitting the form with prescribed fees to the Principal of the school on or before due date. Academic standards of the parents shall also be considered before a candidate is finally selected.
List of candidates qualifying in the written test shall be displayed within 2- days after the test and final selection list within 1-days after the interviews. One week's time shall by given to selected candidates for getting them admitted into the school with necessary instructions for books, dresses, shoes and transit arrangements.
The school would take separate test for admission from children of outside Patna particularly of rural areas so that talented children may get opportunity to avail quality education. There would be provision for hostel facilities for these children.

There will be 8-vehicles plying through 6 defined routes to carry the students to and from different localities at Danapur, Patna and its agglomerate towns and villages (Khagaul, Phulwarisharif-Anishabad, Danapur-Digha, Patliputra Colony, Boring Road, Kankarbag, Bari Pahari & surrounding periphery etc. )

To develop teaching and learning materials for elementary learning in a joyful atmosphere
To develop new teaching and learning methods to suit the needs of children in the local cultural context
To arrange for publication and distribution of such teaching learning materials
A centre for quality education in modern times requires continuous updating as the information explosion is leading to doubling of information base in 3-4 years. The centre would be required to keep track of changes in the field of modern education and develop new teaching learning techniques so that children may get an opportunity for learning the most modern learning techniques.
Some of the teachers having aptitude in research would be associated in the research process apart from teaching. Teachers of other organizations would be engaged in research on honorarium basis.
