The Future of Learning
Paradise School Goa India's first SOLE Cambridge School
Society is changing fast and education needs to reinvent itself if it is to have any genuine value for our children beyond the realm of certificates and passes. School has to be brave. Break the mould. Imagine something different.
Our Approach
Our aim is to use cutting edge methods to achieve mainstream results. This is why we married SOLE to Cambridge, a board which allows for such flexibility and innovation.
SOLE stands for Self Organised Learning Environments, whereby groups of children collaborate together using the internet to answer big open-ended questions, often way beyond their academic years. The intellectual journey they experience creates powerful and independent learning.
We believe traditional schooling must be redesigned to make it relevant and meaningful to the modern day.
Our educational vision is unique
Collaborative
Self-organised
Internet Based
‘Paradise School is different. They use Self Organised Learning Environments (SOLEs) to ‘outdoctrinate’ children from industrial age methods of an obsolete, and often colonial, education.
Instead, Spontaneous Order, the basis of all natural creation, becomes the platform for children’s learning. What this results in are children capable of dealing with questions to which no one knows the answers. Children who can deal with the unimaginable futures that await us’.

“When you walk into the school you shouldn’t be sure if this is a tech start up, think tank or co-working hub.”

“If we want children to learn, we assume that they must be taught. But there is a different way. If you allow groups of children to self-organise, then the learning emerges naturally on its own.”
