FAQs About Class Apart.

Q. What is Class Apart?
A. As the name suggests, It is a class that stands out from others. Infact, calling it a class is perhaps a mismoner. It is a one hour programme for your child, that aims at expanding his mental horizons. At Class Apart, your child will be exposed to a new topic every week. The topics might range from Solar System to Human Evolution to Olympics to political systems. Basically, The whole gamut of information that a child is exposed to, but never properly explained, would be explained. The topic will then be reinforced via a story and a hands on activity. Children will also be required to assemble and present weekly news in front of the class. The news will then be discusssed and deciphered for the benefit of kids.

Q. How do I know what's going on?
A. The Class Apart is a community, not only of kids, but of parents as well. The Parents will be kept in the loop, through this blog. It would be updated every week, right after the class. You will also recieve an email about the class every week.

Q. What does my child need to bring along?
A. We request that you make a seperate 'Class Apart' bag for the child. She must have the following in it:
1. A Scrap book big enough to paste A4 size papers.
2. A pencil Box with shaperned pencils, eraser, scale.
3. A box of oil pastels
4. Kid Safe scissors and Camlin krafty glue.

Q. What is the age criteria for Class Apart?
A. We are accepting children from class I to class IV.

Q. Do all the children attend the same class?
A. I believe that we should not control the level of information reaching the child, for we may err in judging his/her capabilities. So, Though the children will attend the same "information session", their grasp and understanding of the material would obviously vary with the age. They may be given different activities according to their skill levels. For example, if the activity for the day is crossword, the difficulty level of a grade 1 child's crossword would be different from the older kids.

Great, I think every child should enroll in such programs. 21st Century need people with overall personality rather than bookworms. Wish you all the best in your initiative.
