If the learning is facilitated through thoughtful process - what emerges is an example of `School of Creative Learning'. Here every activity is planned with Specific thought. There is a commendable effort to integrate and balance the folk traditions, culture, science, arts, and modernity. This can not be achieved without hard work of the team.

There is so much to learn from you.

Imagine a school where all children have to do to is to play games, put up plays, and make field trips to botanical gardens and museums! Sounds too good to be true? Mridula Prakash's Creative School of Learning with its alternate method of teaching is making this dream come true for children.

This experiment of learning through creativity is worth praising. If education is perceived as an entertainment and not burden, child develops dedication to school and not hatred. This makes it easy for the educator to inculcate human values in children.
