Confinement of children to classrooms and thrusting monotonous theory sessions devoid of interest or excitement are some of the prime factors that develops a feeling of aversion to learning in the minds of children that leads to dropping out of school or in some extreme cases even bringing their lives to end. Why do these deplorable and avoidable things happen almost regularly? It is only because the children are not allowed to fulfill the needs of that age which invokes a feeling resentment and despair in their thinking.
At Gardenia, these difficulties are kept at bay with a clear and concrete plan of curriculum that helps children in achieving the needs that pertain to this stage. When children are involves in various constructive activities in and around the farm like erection of fences, cultivating plants or providing irrigation channels across the fields, taking care of farm animals etc. they learn a lot of concepts of their subjects in relation to the real world they live. This also helps them in understanding of the subjects in a much better way.
Math and Physical Science are learnt when making calculations in the construction of any structure while Biological and Zoological knowledge is gained when planting crops or engaging with animals. Subjects like Economics and Commerce is learnt when selling the produce of the farm while knowledge of Environment and Global climatic changes is acquired while working on the farm as well as visits outside.
