Experiential Learning
What is Experiential learning?
Experiential learning is an educational philosophy that extends learning beyond the classroom by engaging students in hands-on, real-world experiences. This approach allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. At Anand Niketan International – Sarkhej, we encourage active participation of the students which not only enhances academic understanding but also nurtures essential life skills, thus transforming them into responsible, thoughtful, and well-rounded individuals
