Chrysalis Studios
Encourage students to think logically, creatively, and critically. The books are called studios because it is in these books that students get to develop and showcase their skills. These books serve as a studio while students are artists who get a beautiful canvas to showcase their learnings and understandings. Filled with fun and colourful photos, Thinkroom books are designed carefully after extensive pedagogical research. Every activity in the studio is carefully chosen, designed and aligned with clear learning outcomes.
How
Thinkroom
Books are Different
from Classroom
Textbooks
When it comes to ThinkRoom vs Studio, Chrysalis studios are way ahead. Regular textbooks are filled with chunks of texts with no activities. The questions in classroom textbooks are such that they promote rote learning. But that's not the case with Chrysalis studios. The information is presented through colourful images and activities so students understand and retain what they've learned. Sub-activities and questions ensure that concepts are thoroughly understood. In Thinkroom studio, plain text is minimal and they look like colourful comics that students will be eager to pick up even when they are not in the classroorn. Simple and easy to understand, skill building studios take care of knowledge, understanding, application, and skill which are the basis of any standardised test.

Parents Responses
I am a proud mom of twins. As a parent I do not want to give my children just the standard form of education which comprises mostly of voluminous textbooks and a curriculum that demands mostly mugging up of textual information. Studios from Thinkroom turned out to be exactly what I was looking for! Its conceptual learning pedagogy is helping my kids to understand concepts from the very basics through practical application. I am truly amazed with their progress! Thank you Chrysalis!
