We believe that in order to prepare our students for the fast changing world, we need to focus on experiential learning to develop 21st century skills. Middle stage focuses on critical learning objectives.

These experiences also provide an opportunity to develop skills like collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving and prepare the students for the future challenges of life.
