Academic Qualification of Darshan Academy

Learning Styles and Accelerated Learning

The academic instruction at Darshan Academy is based on the latest research in learning styles and accelerated learning. The schools use an internationally recognized accelerated learning program to help students reach their highest potential in the shortest possible time. Using teaching methods that increase comprehension, memory, and retention helps students excel in all academic areas. This method is also used to help students read fluently in the primary grades. Focusing on early reading achievement gives students a strong foundation for future academic studies. The method used to accelerate reading is by teaching to a student's best learning style.

Students are totally and actively involved in the learning process. Thus, lessons are activity-based, with course content being taught through various projects throughout the year. A positive learning environment is created, in which students learn in a joyful, emotionally safe and stimulating atmosphere. Enjoyment is essential for the learning process. Opportunities are created for collaborative learning.

All teachers at Darshan Academy are trained to teach in a multi-sensory way in order to reach all their students. Expert consultants hold training sessions for the principals and teachers so they can learn how to teach reading, writing, spelling, and math as well as all other academic subjects through learning style strategies. Thus, lessons have a visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic component to reach all learning styles. They also are presented sequentially for developing the left side of the brain and globally for developing the right side of the brain. Whole brain techniques are also employed, combining teaching through words and graphics or real-life experiences, thus engaging both sides of the brain. The combination of the basic learning style and the brain hemisphere preference learning style is one of the fastest methods currently available to link information to the brain. Teachers find this approach exciting and energizing. It is a great departure from traditional educational methods in India, which used to involve lecture and recitation. Teachers and students find the learning styles strategies engaging, and students learn more quickly and efficiently.
