Educator-Learners at Pathashaala, while not following any rigid methods, attempt to offer each student a meaningful and enjoyable education through the active learning approach that emphasises engagement, not passivity, as the key to a learning environment. This approach offers a supportive environment with multiple structures, where Educator-Learners facilitate learning, empowering students to actively participate and feel responsible for their education. It fosters lifelong learning skills, confidence, and empowerment, creating a dynamic and enriching educational experience for both students and teachers.

A manual on active learning methodologies prepared by The School KFI through its outreach work with Tamil Nadu Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (TNSSA) can be found here.

Middle school covers English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and a second language (Hindi/Tamil). It encourages explorative learning, physical activities, art, dance, and local field trips, while emphasizing a connection with nature, self-reflection, and creative conversations. One representative time table for class IX is here.

The school is a registered Cambridge International School and prepares students for the IGCSE, AS and A level examinations. Students are also supported for NIOS exams as and when needed.
