Is your child’s education or learning driven by school or curiosity? In today’s curated lives, learning has also become highly structured. Here is a slice of the day from a family –
Children often come home from school and immediately rush off to their tuition classes. While academic performance is crucial for child’s development, excelling in extracurricular activities is equally important for achieving success. Let him rush to the football coaching after his tuition. And yeah the special mental math class is on weekends.
We all have experienced such conversations or thoughts many times. A crucial question that we don’t often consider is “Why does a child need tuition despite spending nearly 8-9 hours in school?” We might mistakenly assume that there is some inherent weakness in our child leading us to put extra burden of tuition on him. Does any child need endless coaching classes or tuitions to thrive? Instead of focusing solely on supplementary education, we should also ask ourselves, “Why is the child struggling in school?”
May be the child is struggling because we are trying to fit her in the system that is not of her interests or liking. Or she may be curious about something that is not the part of regular academic system.
Curiosity drives learning not coaching classes
Curiosity, not age or endless coaching, sparks real learning. At Aarohi, kids learn every day by exploring what excites them. It’s all about asking, observing, and diving into their interests. Forget rote learning—curiosity leads to self-driven growth. After all, if learning was limited to textbooks, we wouldn’t have reached the age of AI!
We celebrate curiosity in all its forms. Kids ask questions, observe, get inspired, and try things their way. We fuel their curiosity by exposing them to real-world challenges—like designing a water level controller—and listening to their ideas without judgment. Curiosity pushes boundaries and takes learning beyond comfort zones!
Hands-on experiences enhances learning
A 3-year-old’s curiosity led her to explore carpentry through observation, design, and hands-on work. Experimenting with tools, she developed hand-eye coordination, learned about measurements, and practiced safety—all by doing, not reading. Her efforts resulted in a self-made keychain.
At Aarohi, learning is all about active engagement. Kids dive into hands-on projects that spark creativity and critical thinking, making learning both meaningful and fun.
Skill building happens everyday
A 10-year-old took on the responsibility of serving breakfast twice a week, turning it into a weekly project. From planning to execution, she learned by doing—measuring flour and water for dough, rolling puris into fun shapes, and mastering the skill of frying safely. Her creative solution of sliding puris into hot oil using a ladle brought her immense joy as she watched them puff up. These small yet meaningful projects helped her build practical skills and confidence week after week.
At Aarohi, learning is personalized and hands-on, empowering children to explore, experiment, and grow at their own pace based on their interests.
Concepts are around us everywhere not just in textbooks
At Aarohi, we organized “Aarohi ki Dukan,” where children set up their own food stalls on campus. This hands-on experience allowed them to grasp math and business concepts in a fun and engaging way. They created their own currency and determined its value, learning essential skills like money management, basic math operations, selling, and negotiation.
The philosophy at Aarohi emphasizes that education should cater to the child, not the other way around. Let the child lead his learning driven by curisity. By recognizing each child’s unique potential and respecting their individuality, we foster a nurturing environment where children can thrive without the pressures of standardized assessments or rigid timelines. Concepts are all around us, and learning extends beyond textbooks.
At Aarohi we believe that curiosity can be a far more powerful tool to drive the child’s learning than conventional coaching classes. By focusing on hands-on challenges, skill-building routines, and personalized resources, Aarohi ensures that every child embarks on a fulfilling educational journey tailored to their unique strengths and interests. Let education evolve—let it fit your child!
