I conceptualized CLP (CUSTOMIZED LEARNING PROGRAM) fondly called it sugar cane juice model of education. The curriculum is customised on three bases namely content, skill, and time. I understand that student-athletes always have demands on their time through training, matches, and tournaments. CLP is designed to take into account the time pressures placed upon the students. Flexible educational curriculum provides a tailor-made academic schedule to the athletes, built around their sporting commitments. CLP encourage and provide all means to our students to balance their pursuit of sporting excellence without compromising on their academics. We at Sreenidhi create lifelong learners who can balance sports as well as academics. We use technology and individualised teaching strategies to ensure that every student is able to continue learning toward the targeted outcomes. CLP ensures that the needs of every student are catered for. Feedback, content coverage, individual teaching, an online portal, and extensive teaching resources, all ensure that the academic programme complements the sporting developments and allows the students to flourish academically, emotionally, socially, and in sports.
