The 38th annual Cognito at Modern School, held on 8th December 2024, was a remarkable showcase of the students’ creativity, imagination, and problem-solving abilities.

The event highlighted the school’s commitment to inquiry-based learning in a stress-free and open environment, offering students the freedom to explore real-world problems through hands-on projects. Unlike traditional classroom settings, Cognito fosters independent thinking and encourages students to take ownership of their learning, guided by their teachers and peers.
