It's about opening a whole new world for the child to look beyond the ordinary and explore new, uncharted territories that let them discover new things, and become passionate about them. Beyond Boundaries is a reflection of MLSI's philosophy. It is about going beyond the usual teaching norms and giving a child the freedom to chase their passion through different experiential and practical modules.
The shift away from teaching for the rote memorisation of prescribed methods requires teachers to rethink their approach to the discipline. With this new pedagogy comes a need to understand the processes of mathematical thinking in ways not previously required.

Although the new behaviours are adopted, something goes wrong, and it isn't always that the new idea itself is to be blamed. - Maybe it's culture?
"Later this month, the U.S. Department of Education holds its first Games for Learning Summit in New York City, a gathering of educational experts, students, teachers, game publishers and developers.
