Based on the ideologies and beliefs of THE VITS SCHOOL family, the art and science of teaching, at its core, revolves around methodology – the systematic approaches and techniques educators employ to facilitate learning. It's more than just delivering information; it's about crafting engaging experiences, fostering critical thinking, and nurturing a lifelong love for knowledge. Understanding the diverse landscape that children come from, designing the teaching methodologies is crucial for educators as it empowers them to make informed decisions about how to best reach their students and achieve desired learning outcomes. Ultimately, a thoughtful and adaptable approach to teaching methodology is the cornerstone of successful education; enabling students to not only acquire knowledge but also to develop the skills and dispositions necessary to thrive in an ever-changing world.
THE VITS SCHOOL promotes experiential, holistic, and integrated learning, emphasizing student-centered, inquiry-driven, and discussion-based teaching – learning process. It encourages teachers to use innovative pedagogies like experiential learning, art integration, and technology in the classrooms, and integrating vocational education.
Here, in THE VITS SCHOOL, we believe that children learn the best when they experience practically the knowledge that they receive through classroom teaching.
The NEP 2020 suggests experiential learning as the BEST way to learn. THE VITS SCHOOL has been imparting experiential and research-based learning since 2017. Our focus is on joyful learning where every child is given due attention. Thus, apart from the curriculum being highly flexible and analytical, THE VITS SCHOOL focuses on stimulating brains so as to ensure that children develop the ability to think creatively.

Since we use a variety of tools in our pedagogical approach like digital tools, hands on activities, field trips, excursions, art integrated pedagogical approach amongst others; this multi-dimensional approach ensures learning occurs in all children irrespective of the manner in which they learn. Differential Instructions cater to varied learning styles and behavior among children.
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is a crucial component of holistic development. It equips students with the skills to understand and manage their emotions, develop empathy, and navigate social situations effectively. The pedagogical approach of THE VITS SCHOOL promotes not only academic competence but also social, ethical, and emotional capacities. .
