“One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.” — John C. Maxwell
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has selected SAI International School as the Mentor School of five CBSE schools in its locality. The objective of the HUB is to create a school system that provides the most joyful, creative, exploratory and vibrant school experience and environment for its learners as well as provide the most fulfilling experience for its teachers. It aims to synergize schools to achieve educational equity in community.
HUB of Learning endeavours to make the CBSE schools future-ready by ensuring quality education, adoption of innovative pedagogies, experiential and active learning with a focus on skills, art and sports, capacity building of teachers for the holistic development of children. It attempts to identify the best practices of various schools and adapt or implement those in other schools.
This is an annual programme where in the Mentor school and the five identified mentee schools work together towards enhancing academic standards of the school through teacher exchange, sharing resources and collaborate to give more exposure to the students and teachers.
