Our Pedagogy
In MIS-K, integrating technology in classroom is much more than teaching basic computer skills and software in computer period. We include technology across curriculum to enhance the learning process. We believe in blended learning which contributes the best of both realms i.e. self-paced digital learningand facilitator-based class room teaching.
Milton International School prepares students for the IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) and A Level examinations. Middle School curriculum works towards grooming the learners to become responsible, confident and reflective individuals who are self motivated to engage in innovative activities. This is achieved by making learning interesting and fun rather than a necessity. Pedagogy guided by neuroscience, bloom’s taxonomy, and multiple intelligences, to mention a few ‘make every moment of learning meaningful, joyous and most importantly effective’. The syllabus in middle school is international in outlook, but retain a local relevance. Encouraging learners to engage with a variety of subjects, and make connections between them, is fundamental to our approach. Learners are constantly stimulated to develop a global view through interdisciplinary learning.

EDUCATION
In MIS , integrating technology in classroom is much more than teaching basic computer skills and software in computer period. We include technology across curriculum to enhance the learning process. We believe in blended learning which contributes the best of both realms i.e. self-paced digital learningand facilitator-based class room teaching.
We stepped into digital learning in the academic year 2013-2014 by integrating apps, games, video, movies in curriculum which promotes the 4Cs of 21st century learning skill i.e. collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. The apps, media, web links are selectively chosen to strengthen the variety of skills along with concept clarity. The focus of integrating technology in curriculum for us is achieving learning goals and outcomes in highly engaging manner, not the devices and apps.
