Kalorex: Nurturing Global Citizens

KALOREX – A word associated with progressive education since the past two decades, has its banner flying high in many cities in India as well as in the UAE. The Kalorex Group has always committed itself to offer an educational programme to the entire spectrum of learners. Be it an IB World School, the two Delhi Public Schools and five Calorx Public Schools following the CBSE curriculum and the Kalorex Preschool chain of schools.

The teachers implement curriculum methods and strategies that use technology to maximise student learning using Blended and Flipped class strategies. These are the new age global classroom methods which are being implemented in our schools keeping in mind the huge variety of online resources that are available. With the newly proposed Budget of 2018-19, with focus on technology enabled classrooms with smart boards replacing blackboards, the students of Kalorex have been exposed to the progressive methods of teaching and learning since the beginning.

We also cater to parents’ needs to help them realise that today’s generation is as much at ease with smart phone and laptops as the earlier generation was with books and pens. The age of mobile learning and cloud computing is upon us. Parent workshops are also being held continuously to orient them towards the new trends in technology to ensure understanding of the changing times and their cooperation. Technological innovations are influencing the way students learn and we are doing our bit to keep abreast with the fast moving technological advancements.

The indigenously designed Kalorex Taxonomy aims at developing Goal Setting and Peoples’ Skills in the students and all teaching plans are designed keeping that in mind. The teaching quality is kept in check with regular academic and quality audits done conducted by the Learning Development and Quality Department.
