Excel Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ECTS)

The Excel Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ECTS) is a multidisciplinary initiative designed to foster a deep understanding of scientific principles and theoretical thinking in students. The programme aims to go beyond mere knowledge transmission, emphasizing the development of higher-order skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to draw connections between diverse concepts. Through active learning strategies like discussions, case analysis, and presentations, students are encouraged to not only absorb knowledge but also contribute as co-teachers in the learning process. The programme’s activities span a wide range of disciplines, stimulating research, collaborations and encouraging students to engage in innovative thinking at the frontiers of science. Students of Grades 8 to 10 are allowed to opt for these classes, twice a week, one and a half hours each.
