The New Normal
The New Normal
Accelerated by school closures amid COVID-19, blended learning has become the new normal. In July 2021, in Swiss Cottage, we started Blended Learning. Blended learning combines independent learning (learning at home without direct teacher supervision) with in-school experience (learning directly facilitated by teachers and supported by peers in a face-to-face setting). In short, the blended model makes e-learning or home-based learning part and parcel of your overall school life.

By experiencing both types of learning experiences at regular intervals, we hope that you will pick up the relevant skills and dispositions that will make you a self-directed and lifelong learner. With HBL taking place fortnightly - on even-week Fridays, you have time for curriculum work (about 4 hours worth), as well as the space to pursue your own interests (about 1 hour).

We have embraced the new norm or blended learning comfortably, thanks to the annual e-learning routines and prevalent use of technology in day to day lessons. Hence, though we did find ourselves having to catapult into the new normal in 2020, we have more than survived the change.; we have thrived and continue to appreciate the benefits of independent learning alongside the support and social interaction in a school environment.
