The School of Creative Learning, founded in 1997, in Patna, Bihar to reimagine what education could be.

It emerged from a collective concern among educators and changemakers about the limitations of the conventional school system—where rote learning often stifles creativity and curiosity.

SCL was established as a model school and action-research lab, designed to test and demonstrate the power of the Creative Learning methodology: a joyful, activity-based approach that develops the whole child—not just academically, but emotionally, socially, and imaginatively.

What began as an experimental idea has since grown into a thriving 10+2 co-educational institution affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). At SCL, national curriculum is delivered not through textbooks alone—but through magic squares, memory games, theatre, music, storytelling, and real-world connection.

It is a pioneering institution under the Association for Promotion of Creative Learning (APCL), dedicated to transforming education through Creativism—a philosophy that makes creativity the source of happiness, inclusion, and social change.

We serve as a living laboratory of educational innovation, empowering children from all backgrounds—especially those excluded by traditional schooling—through art, science, storytelling, culture, and empathy.

In the words of Empowering Minds:

Creative Learning is not a subject. It is the spirit of education itself.

SCL exists to prove that education can be empowering, playful, rigorous, inclusive—and joyful.

Every day, it shows what becomes possible when children are given the space to explore, imagine, and create their own learning paths.
