CITY GUIDE 2018 165LEARN & PLAYA teacher’s perspective
Name: Sapna Sunder
Role: Elementary teacherI’ve been teaching at Stamford American for five years,
specialising in incorporating various practices such as Brain
Yoga, which aids in maximising the power of students’ minds
and boosts overall wellness of the body.
The school has adapted an enquiry-based curriculum and the
school’s Student Support Department offers much-needed assistance
to those who need it. The CCA programmes such as drama, art,
music as well as the field studies and athletics programmes are really
robust and enriching for students. I love that as teachers we have
the freedom and support to integrate technology, arts and crafts,
and role-play into the core curriculum.American
