Inventure Academy reopens with Inventuring

A new academic session at Inventure Academy does not start with books, uniforms or in classrooms but with Inventuring - a unique foundation program aimed at cementing bonds between teachers and students, making new students comfortable and setting the key note for expectations at Inventure Academy.


Students engage in projects – both single and in groups – and experience first hand, the creative process, thinking-out- of- the- box and being active participants in a team. The hidden agenda is helping students realize their inner potential, making them believe in themselves, understanding ways of true learning and respecting interdependence.

Designed on Howard Gardener’s theory of Multiple Intelligences and Inventure’s core values , the 2011-12 ‘Inventuring’ starts with a daily schedule of students participating in four broad categories- Outdoor, Classroom Projects, Choice Time and Golden Time.


During Inventuring, each day started with an outdoor activity, like dance or sports, to kick-start mental and physical agility and facilitating team bonding. This was followed with classroom projects based on exploring Multiple Intelligences (MI) of students.

The classroom projects on multiple intelligences had larger themes like Creative Sparks, Think-a thon under which students were tasks specific to their grades.
