==Creative learning==
APCL developed a new Teaching/Learning Methodology (TLM) called "Creative Learning" which aims at developing [[creativity]] of a person. The school believes that "Every Child is born Creative". The basic purpose of the system is to develop the child's intrinsic learning processes. Based on the information processing model of learning, it attempts to develop seven basic competencies called Core Creative Competencies (C3): concentration, power of observation, memory, thinking, imagination, emotional management, and communication/expression power.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.creativelearning.in/ |title=Association For Promotion Of Creative Learning |publisher=Creativelearning.in |date= |accessdate=2012-02-10}}</ref> The system is based in traditional [[Yogic]] cultural practices, but integrates them into modern learning systems.

The content of learning is selected specifically for each child, taking into account the child's personality, family, and social environment. Through the use of monitoring and evaluation, the materials are regularly adapted to the child's strengths and weaknesses.

The system used by the school is published in the book ''Creative Learning: A Handbook for Teachers & Trainers'', by Shri Vijoy Prakash, Founding Executive President of APCL.

=== Creativity Olympiad ===
Creativity Olympiad is a unique event in which participants competitively engage in activities related to development of core creative competencies identified in Creative Learning - concentration, imagination, memory, thinking, power of observation and communication. The 22 events held across five categories have activities ranging from [[Yogic]] exercises to art and music. The month-long Olympiad is held annually at the School of Creative Learning.<ref name="news6">[http://ww.telegraphindia.com/1110825/jsp/bihar/story_14418892.jsp Boost to creative skills at school, The Telegraph, 24 August 2011]</ref> It has been held at the school in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

==The Ritu Sinha Knowledge Centre for Creative Learning==
In December 2009, the Ritu Sinha Knowledge Centre for Creative Learning was inaugurated, which serves as the resource centre for various educational and research activities being carried out at the school. The centre is equipped with a library, computer centre, conference hall, health centre and exhibition hall. The Centre has hosted several conferences, seminars and workshops. The centre has been developed in collaboration with Ritu Sinha Charitable Fund (USA).
