Creative learning

APCL developed a new Teaching/Learning Methodology (TLM) called "Creative Learning" which aims at developing creativity of a person. The school believes that "Every Child is born Creative". The basic purpose of the system is to develop the child's intrinsic learning processes. Based on the information processing model of learning, it attempts to develop seven basic competencies called Core Creative Competencies (C3): concentration, power of observation, memory, thinking, imagination, emotional management, and communication/expression power. The system is based in traditional Yogic cultural practices, but integrates them into modern learning systems.

The content of learning is selected specifically for each child, taking into account the child's personality, family, and social environment. Through the use of monitoring and evaluation, the materials are regularly adapted to the child's strengths and weaknesses.

The system used by the school is published in the book Creative Learning: A Handbook for Teachers & Trainers, by Shri Vijoy Prakash, Founding Executive President of APCL.
