John Dewey’s philosophy of education highlights the importance of imagination to drive thinking and learning forward, and for teachers to provide opportunities for students to suspend judgement, engage in playful consideration of possibilities, and explore doubtful possibilities.
He says, “Education is not preparation for life, but is life itself”. This philosophy is followed at KHS High School, Baner.
We at KHS High School Baner provide ample opportunities to all our students to explore and identify their own potential. Every child gets exposure and creativity is nurtured by providing safe and competitive environment.
