Rak's Pallikkoodam. ICSE School. Coimbatore.

Pallikkoodam is a student-centered, future-focused, coeducational day school. Creativity and Critical thinking, combined with developing the strength of character is at the core of our programme. The school is also grounded in the 21st-century educational principles.

We are guided by 3 principles —Personalization, Authentic work, and Collaborative design. These principles have been arrived at based on several years of research and reflection.

Our teachers practice a learner-centred, inclusive approach that supports and challenges each student. Students pursue their passions through projects; they also reflect on their learning. Students work in small groups to solve problems together from different vantage points. Every student shares his/her own perspective, and a feasible solution is arrived at based on collaboration and effective communication.

We ensure that our school fosters relationships of trust, care, and mutual respect among students and adults through design elements such as small school size, small classes, advisories, and student collaborative work.

Our projects integrate hands and minds and incorporate inquiry across multiple disciplines, leading to the creation of meaningful and original work. Students engage in work that matters to them. The projects are also pertinent to the world outside school. Students connect their studies to the outside world through fieldwork, community service, internships, and dialogs with subject experts. Our facilities are collaborative workplaces with small-group learning and project areas, relevant technology, and common spaces where prototypes and other artefacts of student thinking are simulated and displayed.
