From Teacher-Centered to Student-Centered Learning

We believe in shifting the spotlight to empower students in the classroom. By relinquishing control and fostering autonomy, we create environments where learners take the reins of their education. This nurtures critical thinking and self-directed learning, which ensures our students are equipped with skills to thrive in the ever-evolving world.
