Igniting the Fire of Learning at GJRIS

“Education is not preparation for life; Education is life itself.” — John Dewey

This is the philosophy reflected in the primary school program at GJR International School. This program covers Grades 1 to 6. Our program promotes:

inquiry-based learning
holistic growth — a balanced education of the intellect, emotions, and body

Our highly qualified teachers apply the child-centered approach—they focus on the student and their needs, skills, and interests. So, each child is given special attention, enabling them to learn at their own pace. Also, our teaching strategies help students in developing a positive self-image.

Curriculum for GJR International School

Our primary school program follows the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Primary Years Programme, or the IBPYP methodology. The features of our program are:

Transdisciplinary instruction method: In this technique, diverse disciplines are integrated to form a cohesive curriculum. This method enables students to correlate different subjects while studying a concept, which provides a deeper understanding of the topic to the student. It also enables students to understand how the concepts are applied in a real-world setting.
Regular Assessments: In the best IB schools, students are frequently evaluated by examiners to identify their strengths and drawbacks so that they can be groomed perfectly in the domains of critical thinking and creative imagination. These evaluations also reveal how much grasp a student has on a particular subject.
Beyond textbooks: We use different manuals and digital resources to research, evaluate, and present the curriculum. We do not depend on textbooks to transmit information.

The World is Your Classroom—Activity-Based Learning Methods

At GJRIS, textbooks are just the tip of the iceberg. Children at the primary school are taught using activity-based learning strategies, which fuel the all-round growth of the kids. Students learn better by performing a physical activity rather than just reading books. Therefore, these hands-on practices help children gain a solid understanding of different subjects. Also, activities like group discussions and debates provide the students a chance to interact with their peers and teachers, thereby improving their communication skills. Thrilling outdoor activities like scavenger hunts and field trips make school enjoyable for students, and learning becomes a fun voyage. These methods also play a huge role in developing the students’ cognitive skills.

Electrifying Extracurriculars at GJRIS

Let your child steal the spotlight at our flamboyant extracurricular events. Radiating energy and joy, these events enhance the social and creative skills of the kids. Spectacular dance and music shows, plays, arts and crafts exhibitions, etc., display the kids’ skills and shape their creative genius. Displaying their skills also helps your child articulate their ideas and opinions in front of the world and boosts their confidence.

Active Bodies, Active Minds

The sports events, along with providing physical development, teach children how to be a team player. When a child is made the captain of a team, they learn to take ownership of the team’s success or failures and work closely to achieve common goals. This instills leadership skills and selflessness among kids. Playing in a team enables children to bond closely, enhancing interpersonal skills
