Kundan International School feels privileged to be chosen as the lead collaborator school in Hubs of learning programme. In order to ensure the enhancement of quality education and for self-improvement, the cluster schools have been working in unison for about a year for collaborative growth. The members of the cluster schools meet   frequently to chalk out the activities and maintain   record of all those activities which are undertaken jointly. The former Principal of the lead collaborator school briefed the member schools about the features of the Hubs of Learning, importance, significance and the nine characteristics of high performance schools as per directions of CBSE. The aim of the cluster schools is to provide quality education, adoption of innovative pedagogies, experimental and active learning, to focus on skills, arts and sports, capacity building for teachers and holistic development of the child through life skills and value based education. The annual hub calendar was chalked out by the cluster schools for resource sharing and working efficiently towards a common goal. The Lead Collaborator School in collaboration with the member schools took up various activities from time to time. The activities regarding PISA were discussed in the meeting where the members of the cluster schools suggested to share the best practices, worksheets and question papers. Number of workshops were organised for the teachers to promote academic enrichment through seminars and workshops for exchange of ideas, instructional strategies and assessment procedure.
