Phoenix International Academy is a highly progressive and enterprising international school in the heritage city Mysuru. Here we emphasize on concept-based teaching and learning, as opposed to content and rote learning. We focus on processes and outcomes – what a student should know and be able to do at any given age – as opposed to emphasizing the acquisition of specific knowledge.

Key principles run through the entirety of PIA’s education system such as:

■ The idea that each student is unique

■ An emphasis on developing positive relationships (with teachers, parents and peers).

■ Focus on enabling environments, with an awareness that learning does happen everywhere not just in the classroom.

We emphasize the development of the student as a whole, and particularly at the primary level, there is a great deal of scope for creativity and individuality in the classroom. Choosing an international school like ours not only gives students the benefit of a concept based education, but the qualifications gained and knowledge acquired are highly transferable. The structure and consistency of the national curriculum allows students to easily move, if necessary to schools in various countries and within the country. The system also facilitates an easy progression to any universities across the globe.

At Phoenix, we provide a nurturing, stimulating, and student-centred learning environment. We want to ensure that students are confident in themselves, with others and in their work, and are prepared for transitions into new environments. We foster a love of learning that will prepare them for the challenges of an ever-changing world.
