21st Century SkilLs
In the dynamic landscape of the 21st century, education is not merely about acquiring knowledge; it’s about equipping students with the skills needed to thrive in an ever-evolving world. We focus on equipping our learners with 21st century skills of:
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
Our belief is that we must harness the curiosity of our learners, so as to make them think. We encourage our learners to be original and divergent Thinkers, Questioners and Innovators who look at problems in a new way, and find solutions to better the lives of people around them.
Creativity
Creativity is the practice of thinking outside the box. It is equally important as a means of adaptation. This skill empowers students to see concepts in a different light, which leads to innovation. Creativity is the ability to produce new, diverse, and unique ideas. Thinking creatively means looking at things from a different perspective and not be restricted by rules, customs, or norms

them numerous opportunities for self-exploration and discovery. Different clubs are offered to every learner to help in the self-exploration. By giving them open ended tasks/challenges, we allow our learners to think freely, imagine creatively and implement their creative ideas so as to come up with innovative solutions to problems.
Communication
There is no denying the fact that communication is one of the core means by which we connect with others. Numerous Indian and foreign languages enable our learners to express their thoughts, ideas and opinions with clarity. Language fluency and accuracy is enhanced through multiple listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing activities conducted within and beyond the classrooms which give an edge to our learners’ communication skills.
Collaboration
This 21st- Century Skill, is about working together to reach a goal and putting talent, expertise, and smarts to work. Practicing collaboration and teamwork helps students understand how to address a problem, pitch solutions, and decide the best course of action. It’s also helpful for them to learn that other people don’t always have the same ideas that they do. Multiple learning opportunities such as Hands-on Team Activities, Group work, Socratic Seminars, Inter-class events, Inter-school competitions and Brainstorming Sessions are a regular feature at PPIS to enhance learning through working together.
