Funkaar | Middle Years

Funkaar at the Middle Years is a celebration of experiential and creative learning through art, culture, and inquiry.
It is a collection of experiences that encourage students to think critically, imagine boldly, and create with purpose. Funkaar captures the spirit of interdisciplinary learning  where subjects blend and boundaries blur, sparking curiosity, connection, and joy.
This year, under the theme “India: Now and Then,” students will journey through time to explore how the past continues to shape the present. They will discover how traditions evolve, how communities sustain their crafts, and how every generation leaves its mark on India’s unfolding story.
- Grade 6 will explore India’s weaving and craft traditions — uncovering stories of pattern, sustainability, and community.
- Grade 7 will trace the evolution of governance and culture — connecting ideas of leadership and identity across time.
- Grade 8 will examine power reflecting on whose voices history remembers and whose are left behind.
Throughout Funkaar weeks, learning will extend beyond classrooms into the world. Students will meet various artisans, engage with experts, and walk through historic spaces where India’s living heritage comes alive.
