Job Description
(A Great Opportunity to Learn & Teach Project-Based-Learning)
About Us
(Start with this Presentation to get a comprehensive overview of our School)
The Polymath School is Mumbai's first K-12 Project-Based-Learning (PBL) School.
In projects that typically last 3-4 months, we integrate rich content, 21st-century skills and human values in the context of a real-life problem or a challenge. The interdisciplinary nature of projects, along with the real-life context, makes learning come alive for students and educators
(Examples - Organic Farming Project, "Building a Frog Habitat").
Even though we are a school, we try to maintain a start-up culture. The reason for that is simple - if we want our students to develop life-skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, etc., we, the facilitators (educators), need to live it ourselves.
Whether you are an educator, who is aching to do more, but feeling shackled by the existing school system; or a corporate executive, artist, or a professional looking to enter the education space for doing some truly meaningful work - do check us out!!
