Methodology
What is Dreamtime Learning Hub?
“Dreamtime Learning Hub is collaborative, outdoor oriented, tech enabled, creation focussed, flexible micro-school powered by hyper personalised curriculum (designed for 3 years to 16 years olds) where learners are grouped based on ability and interest rather than grade”. The Dreamtime Learning curriculum focusses on self – awareness – regulation – mastery. In other words, ‘thought learning’ rather than ‘taught learning’.
Who are the people involved in Dreamtime Learning Hub?
The DREAMTIMERS – Ms Lina Ashar
Ms. Lina Ashar – “Lina is passionate about children, learning, peace, happiness, self-mastery, creating a world of abundance, and questioning the status quo. She knows it is the right time to re-disrupt learning, education, and schools.
How is a regular day in the classroom at Dreamtime Learning Hub?
Our Daily Rhythm is designed as a container for learning, offering flexibility to continue exploring a subject if students are feeling inspired, or to take a pause and recalibrate their minds and bodies if need be. In addition to an hour of dedicated time in workshops and studios, any and all parts of the daily rhythm may take place in nature. We allow our learners ample opportunity to spend time in the natural and techno environments and in community areas outside of the four walls of classrooms.

What board is followed at Dreamtime Learning Hub?
The learners will have the autonomy, agency, voice and choice to take Cambridge Checkpoint assessments or NIOS assessments to benchmark their learning to global standards.
What is personalised Learning?
Personalised learning is a teaching approach that tailors educational content and experiences to the individual needs, abilities, and interests of the learner. It allows them to progress at their own pace and take ownership of their own learning, rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
How will personalised learning be implemented at Dreamtime Learning Hub?
An Individual learning plan will be created for every learner at the time of enrolment. Parent, learner and the Dreamtime team will co-create a hyper-personalised plan to ensure an exciting learning exploration journey for self-mastery while meeting academic outcomes in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Instead of grade bifurcations, ability based selection of subjects from across age groups will lead to a customised schedule crafted for each child.
Who is involved in creating the curriculum?
The instructional design team is led by Ms Lina Ashar (in.linkedin.com/in/linaashar) a pioneer in the education space for the last 25+ years as well as Divya Punjabi (www.linkedin.com/in/divya-punjabi-6594339).
What do you mean by education for the real world?
Parents today are painfully aware that the traditional academic world of endlessly-repeated lectures, note-taking, homework, rote memorization, standardized testing, grading, sorting, and ranking, may not be adequately preparing their children for a successful and happy future, much less helping them develop their talents to their full potential. Yesterday’s jobs are being automated away at an ever-increasing rate, leading to astounding uncertainty for our children’s future.
The 21st century needs and rewards resourceful entrepreneurs, innovative designers, creative problem solvers, independent critical thinkers, insightful analyzers, productive project managers, persuasive communicators, imaginative storytellers, inspiring leaders, socially-adept collaborators, conscientious citizens, resilient risk-takers, curious explorers, diligent researchers, and passionate self-motivated go-getters…yet these traits are routinely quashed in the traditional school setting.
Dreamtime Learning Hub will close the gap between the world’s demands and our educational system’s supply.
What is a Maker’s Space at Dreamtime Learning Hub?
Our Maker’s space is a creative studio and workshop, where mixed age learners come together to generate new ideas and engage in hands-on projects. Making and breaking makes learning relevant and application oriented which is not available in a conventional school setting.
The focus is on interdisciplinary subjects such as science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) to foster a culture of innovation, exploration, and ongoing learning through both digital and physical formats. Our goal is to empower learners by providing them with the resources, tools, knowledge, space, and community they need to become problem-solvers and make a positive impact on the world.
Some examples of activities that are held in our fully equipped, thoughtfully designed studios and workshops at the HUB include:
- Building and programming robots
- Designing and 3D printing objects
- Creating and recording music
- Designing and creating websites
- Crafting and sewing projects
- Woodworking and metalworking
- Electronics and circuit building
- Cooking and Baking
- Creating, recording and editing videos

What are the types of learning coaches hired at Dreamtime Learning Hub?
Our emphasis is on the quality of the learning coaches and learning experience design. We hire the most qualified learning coaches available on the market and seek to retain them through competitive salaries and benefits. Another advantage of our small size is that we do not require the same number of teachers as a big school. Every hire for us (just like every child) is a special one, as teachers within the community wear multiple hats and play several roles.
