ABOUT THE PROGRAM

SoC-L is an academic supplementary program which runs in tandem with school academic schedule. The program is a series of art integrated activities meticulously designed to meet the fundamental needs of learning. SoC-L uses art as a medium as art is a proven instrument of Meta learning and is always close to the heart of a child. Art plays a significant role in child development.

The National Curriculum framework 2019 has recommended “Art integration- towards experiential learning.” It is realized that all disciplines being pursued by students at all stages require creative thinking and problem solving abilities. Therefore when art is integrated with education, it helps child to apply exploration, critical thinking and creativity for a deeper understanding of the concepts. School of Creativity (SoC) has been following this approach since last 4 years and is seeking to bring out a positive change in student's learning. The program is reviewed by Education officer (Maharashtra) - UNICEF. It is being used by over 5000 students and has shown results in terms of innovation, lateral thinking and enhanced empathy. It is offered by way of around 500 art integrated activities.

The coursework ensures that all the developmental domains are taken into account and are custom-made for a wide range:
• Starry Seeds (Nursery, K.G.I, K.G.II)
• Beaming Buds (STD I-IV)
• Flying Flowers (STD V-VIII)
• Creative Colours (STD IX – X)

The programs are designed to encourage participants to indulge in a number of cognitive tasks such as concentration, problem solving, critical thinking, persistence, making choices, implementation and self evaluation. The design also ensures ample opportunities for sensory integration as the participants get busy with various kinaesthetic activities. It creates space for the participants to identify the process and express emotions.

The material provided to the participants, as a part of the program, is hand crafted and actively avoids a factory finish look. It comforts children with the beauty of imperfection, allowing them to develop a more organic bond with the different elements of the program. This allows multiple opportunities for the participants to observe and understand the beauty of interdependence in the world. Most importantly, the program makes participants privy to the labour and joy of constructing their own answers, finding their own destinations and owing their journeys!
