TAISI, The Association of International Schools of India, is a pioneer in conceptualizing and executing various programs/ meets – for Teachers, School Leaders, and Students – with student learning at the core. Nearly 130 schools in India are members of TAISI.
TAISI is keen to offer additional enrichment opportunities for students of their member schools, and they have partnered with GenWise for the same. This Summer Program is the first step on that journey.
The 2019 TAISI GenWise Summer Program was targeted at children who look for, and thrive on additional challenge. Open to children who would be moving to Grades 8, 9, 10 in 2019, this fully-residential program digs deep into a few areas of interest for your child. Designed and facilitated by top-notch instructors from around the world, this program will significantly enhance your child's context in these areas of cotemporary interest, which (research has shown) will allow for plentiful opportunity for Critical Thinking.
This program is much more than just its Academic component:
-
Minor courses - workshops on Writing Skills, Storytelling
-
Exercises in improving awareness and concentration, in a fun and engaging manner, to enhance student performance
-
Field trips to experimental communities with a sustainability focus
-
Daily interactions with industry/ social sector leaders, on contemporary topics
-
Daily sport/ physical activities (from among soccer, cricket, etc.)
-
Mind sports such as Bridge (with its proven impact on Test Scores, among others), Guesstimation Challenges
-
Talent Nite, DJ Nite, Quizzes, Dumb Charades, Treasure Hunt, etc.
We believe the full 3-week duration provides an excellent opportunity for children to build lifelong connections and make it memorable. However, children can choose to attend one, or more of the courses listed below:
