NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Schools around the world are focused on cerebral and physical development at a time when knowledge is changing at dramatic speeds. Arun Kapur, Director of The Royal Academy, a residential school in Bhutan, has developed a holistic program to develop every learner in 5 key areas – Cerebral, Emotional, Physical, Social, and Spiritual. Kapur says his inspiration for the program came from his belief that education needed to move youth from being "storehouses of knowledge to creators of new knowledge." In an interconnected world, where "collaboration and peaceful co-existence are crucial to the continued existence of the human race," the 5 areas of development need to work together to help students become "responsible citizens."
In Kapur's model, the child has a tutor or mentor but creates her own road map. "This approach to the teaching-learning process is helping students to recognize and identify their own strengths and weaknesses and to develop skills that can be applied over diverse areas," says Kapur.
