Transforming Education: Innovative Learning Studios at Chitkara International School, Panchkula
The Learning Studios at Chitkara International School showcase various learning centers designed to provide hands-on learning experiences. Whether called learning studios or labs, they epitomise the research culture at our school, providing students with the necessary tools for exploration and discovery. Each learning lab at Chitkara is grounded in a philosophy encouraging the freedom to question. We believe that no question is unintelligent. “Could an aeroplane fly?” was once a seemingly vacuous question later proven wrong by researchers. This freedom to question is ingrained in every student and faculty member at Chitkara School.
