What is Experiential Learning? The Power of Learning By Living | Schiller International University Skip to main content Skip to footer

At Schiller International University, we're not here to play by the old, outdated rules of education. We're here to change the game. So, if you're looking for the same old, traditional, "sit-in-a-classroom-and-listen" kind of education, you might as well look elsewhere. Because here, we do things differently.
 

We understand that in the real world, success doesn't come from textbooks or theory alone. It comes from rolling up your sleeves, diving headfirst into challenges, and making things happen. That's why we've ditched the conventional and embraced experiential learning. 

What Is Experiential Learning, You Ask? 

It's not some fancy jargon; it's the most effective way to learn! Challenge-based learning is our mantra. It's about jumping into real, relevant problems and finding solutions. You're not here to passively absorb knowledge, you're here to own it! We believe in experiential learning because it's not just about what you know; it's about what you can do with that knowledge.

So, what's the deal with experiential learning? It's simple – it's embracing the power of learning by living. Instead of just sitting in a classroom, we throw you into real-life situations. When you're out there in the world, dealing with actual problems, that's when the real magic happens.
 

Experiential learning isn't about checking boxes; it's about shaping a future where you're not just a graduate; you're a game-changer. So, if you're up for this life-changing journey, welcome to Schiller – where experiential learning isn't a choice; it's a way of life. 

Why is Experiential Learning Worthwhile? 

The essential question is… Why stick to the ordinary when you can experience the extraordinary? At Schiller, we're not interested in sending you out into the world feeling lost and confused. Our mission? Transform your student profile into a seasoned professional, even before you graduate.

  • One course per month: That's our secret sauce. We're not just about getting through courses; we're about mastering them. This in-depth learning is ingrained in our educational philosophy and how we redefine education.
