Screen-Free Education: Insights from the Swedish Education Model

In the fast-paced world of smartphones, tablets, and laptops, it’s becoming increasingly essential to step back and evaluate the impact of technology on our children’s education. The concept of screen-free education addresses this concern, taking inspiration from the globally admired Swedish education model. With its child-centered approach, Sweden emphasizes the value of hands-on activities, teamwork, and nature-based learning to ensure children develop cognitively, emotionally, and socially.

At Earthwise Academy in Indore, we proudly adopt the Swedish screen-free philosophy tailored to the needs of Indian children. Rather than relying on screens for lessons, we immerse children in dynamic activities like storytelling, role-playing, gardening, and group projects. These activities not only ignite creativity but also promote stronger interpersonal and problem-solving skills, which are often lost in screen-based learning environments.

Why Screen-Free Education Matters
Studies show that screen exposure during early childhood can affect attention spans, sleep patterns, and overall health. By minimizing screen time and instead fostering physical play and real-world exploration, children succeed in building a well-rounded foundation for lifelong learning.

Earthwise Academy: A Screen-Free Oasis in Indore
Our campus in Vasant Vihar Colony, Indore, near the landmark Bombay Hospital, is an ideal environment for nurturing screen-free education. Surrounded by greenery, we incorporate nature into daily curriculums. For example:

  • Learning shapes by observing leaves and flowers.
  • Mathematics through simple puzzles and physical games.
  • Science through hands-on experiments.

We encourage parents to embrace the screen-free approach at home, extending the philosophy beyond the classroom. Want to learn more about how this approach benefits your child? Visit Earthwise Academy and experience screen-free education firsthand!
