Learning resources

Child counselling and special education

A child is a symbol of life in its most beautiful form, full of innocence and energy. Children with unusual energy often pose a challenge. Love, strong emotional support and one-to-one positive rapport with them works wonders. Further every child lives at his own pace according to his capacities.

With this in mind, the school has set up a Learning Resource Cell. There is regular interaction with the children and remedial education is provided to those with learning difficulties. Importance is given to the psychological and emotional needs of the children.


Laboratories
Exciting practical activities form a crucial part of learning science and the IGCSE curriculum requires practical work at almost all the levels.

We have four well equipped laboratories, meeting the international standards, each dedicated to the three sciences namely Physics, Biology and Chemistry and one General Science for the junior students.

In addition to these, the IT Labs, the Language Lab, Mathematics Lab, Art Studios, Indian and Western Music rooms, Audio Visual Rooms and an Amphitheatre give the breadth of opportunity for our students to enjoy an all rounded development. At the basement, we offer a wide variety of sporting activities like Table Tennis, Basket Ball, Gymnastics, Yoga and Judo to name a few.


Library
The Library forms the fulcrum of any learning process. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. Our school library is equipped with a variety of books on a wide range of subjects, which indeed makes it a ‘Reader’s Paradise’ .

The primary section is separate and caters to the needs of the younger students adequately. To encourage the reading habit, there is a structured Reading Programme rolled into the curriculum.


Our technology resources
We believe that Information Technology (IT) should promote active learning. IT must facilitate the sharing of information efficiently by teachers, maintain proficiency, enable administrators to manage the school more effectively, and encourage communication between students, teachers, administrators and parents.


IT infrastructure
Computing and communications constitute the backbone of the school's infrastructure facilities. Our existing IT infrastructure includes:

Network: Instructional spaces, computer lab, administration office, library, staff room and other infrastructure of the school are connected over a 1000 mbps wireless LAN
Servers: The school's network is powered by the IBM servers
Laptops: The school computer lab has 25 state-of-the-art laptops to cater to each student
Internet: Access to the internet is available through a high-speed 2 mbps fibre link


Differential learning
It is a known fact that every child has the ability to learn but the learning becomes most effective and enjoyable when it happens at the child’s individual pace. Keeping in mind that every child is special in his or her own way, the school has put together a programme to aid both the gifted learner as well as children with learning difficulties.

The Learning Resource Cell has trained and competent special educators who work closely to monitor learning outcomes. The Teaching Faculty is well experienced in the field of education and is proficient in their subject areas. They are trained to use innovative teaching learning techniques. Besides, it is their inherent love and passion for what they do, which makes the learning atmosphere so active, lively and joyful.

The Learning Resource Cell at Aditya Birla World Academy is a place where children feel free to express their learning difficulties. They are taught to overcome their problems and difficulties under the guidance of an expert special educator and an eminent child psychologist.

A trained special educator for the gifted will provide educational opportunities of the highest quality to the academically gifted and talented students through programmes designed specially to meet their abilities and needs.
