What is a MI school?

The schools that have adopted the pedagogy and curricular methodologies influenced by Multiple Intelligences are called the MI schools. The theory introduced/propounded by Dr. Howard Gardner, a Harvard educational psychologist. “Intelligence” is obviously not a monolithic ability but covers an entire spectrum of cognitive capacities termed as intelligences. MI schools follow a curriculum that covers all the disciplines complemented with extra- curricular activities. The challenge before the multiple intelligence schools is to rival the IQ centric education system which is deeply embedded & has spawned the existing curriculum around the globe.

There are 8 intelligences which include Logical, Linguistic, Visual, Kinesthetic, Musical, Inter-personal, Intra-personal and Naturalistic Intelligence.

How MI schools are a better choice?

There are many questions that could come up to the surface when the parents searching the best preschool end up meeting a Multiple Intelligence based preschool. What are the benefits of this concept? How is it different from the usual schooling? What does a student study when the syllabus is based on Multiple Intelligence Theory? Does he/she study only what he/she is inclined towards? Will they be having some special test to know about the child’s dominant intelligences? Does the MI school suggest student to read what will suit students’ specific intelligences to the exclusion of others, as per the school thinks?

Let’s figure out how it could be a better choice

We have tried to answer all these questions. First of all, there is no instantaneous or progressive test that is executed from outside to determine an individual’s intelligence. MI schools offer the concepts that are appropriate for the student’s age also does not deprive the child’s knowledge of anything on the presumption of any dominant intelligence. There are no presumptions. The child excels in the areas by applying his/her set of natural intelligences on his own. There are specific ways to teach a particular subject that suits every group of intelligences. Teaching aids are invariably required & therefore employed to teach every single concept focusing on the 8 intelligences. For more development the subject oriented Co-curricular activities have also been included.

Co-curricular Activities are a “make” to the education; not a “break” from education.

In fact, MI (Multiple Intelligence) Curriculum offers inclusive learning which inculcate interest among kids, as their engagement in the activities satisfy their inquisitiveness. There are no top down suggestions for kids about their specific intelligences, the discovery of intelligences and actualization of potential is all upto the kids whereas building the educational environment is left to the teachers.

At any rate, principles of multiple intelligences are gaining grounds around the globe and the conventional education system is also applying interactive education channels for imparting knowledge. The programmes based on Multiple Intelligence suit the need of the day and age as they are paving the way for inclusive education.
