THE first thing that strikes you at the Aga Khan Academy in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, is the fact that there are no bells to mark the beginning or end of a lesson.
Yet the transition between periods or the end of recess is smooth, without the usual ruckus in the corridors. In fact, right from the time you enter the campus, spread over an overwhelming 100 acres (40.46ha), you can literally feel the difference.
In the junior school, students sit on the floor of the corridor outside their classroom, busy with their drawing kits.
Before you jump to the conclusion that they may have been punished by their teacher, one of them solemnly tells you that he likes being on his own while giving free rein to his imagination.
