History & Foundational Values
Founded with the objective of providing an internationally informed education rooted in local values, G.L. International School began as a small neighborhood school and has grown into a respected institution with modern facilities and an experienced faculty. From its first graduating cohorts, the school has emphasized character development, civic duty, and academic integrity. Throughout its history, the leadership has invested in continuous professional development, infrastructure upgrades, and strategic collaborations to broaden learning opportunities. The school’s core values — integrity, curiosity, respect, and service — are woven into daily routines, assemblies, leadership programs, and the curriculum so students graduate ready to lead ethically and intelligently.
Academic Programs
G.L. International provides a comprehensive academic program spanning Early Years, Primary, Middle, and Senior School levels. The curriculum blends national frameworks with international best practices, offering inquiry-based learning in foundational subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Languages. At the senior level, students can choose rigorous streams in Humanities, Science, or Commerce (depending on the board), with options for advanced electives in computer science, entrepreneurship, and applied sciences.
Assessment & Progress
Assessment at the school is multifaceted — combining formative checks, project portfolios, practicals, and term examinations. Continuous assessment helps teachers track progress and personalize learning plans. Student progress reports are detailed and focus on skills, habits of mind, and social development alongside academic grades. Regular parent-teacher meetings, mentorship sessions, and goal-setting conferences create a strong feedback loop between home and school.
Curriculum Design & Teaching Philosophy
The pedagogy values active, hands-on learning. Classrooms are organized for collaboration and problem solving, with lessons that connect concepts to real-world contexts. Inquiry projects, lab investigations, and cross-disciplinary modules encourage students to think critically and communicate effectively. Technology is thoughtfully integrated — from interactive whiteboards and digital labs to curated online resources that extend classroom learning. Differentiated instruction ensures that advanced learners are challenged while students who need more support are scaffolded. Life skills, ethical reasoning, and environmental education are embedded across subjects rather than treated as add-ons.
Faculty Excellence
The teaching staff at G.L. International is a mix of experienced educators and subject specialists. Selection focuses on pedagogy, subject expertise, and student engagement ability. Faculty participate in regular professional development: workshops on formative assessment, inclusive practices, classroom technology, and leadership. Mentoring programs pair new teachers with senior mentors to quickly build classroom confidence and effectiveness. Staff appraisal emphasizes growth and innovation while celebrating outstanding classroom practice and contributions to school life.
Support Staff & Counseling
Beyond classroom teachers, the school employs counselors, learning support specialists, and career guidance professionals. Counselors work with students on social-emotional learning, conflict resolution, and transition planning. Learning support provides targeted interventions for students with specific needs. The career guidance team organizes college readiness workshops, aptitude testing, and internships or exposure visits for senior students exploring higher education pathways.
Facilities & Infrastructure
The campus blends safety, functionality, and inspiring learning spaces. Science laboratories (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) are well equipped for practical investigations and guided research projects. A dedicated innovation lab makerspace encourages design, robotics, and basic engineering. The school library hosts a broad collection of print and digital resources, quiet study areas, and reading programs. Classrooms are ergonomic with flexible seating to support group work. Other facilities include an auditorium for performances and assemblies, computer labs with high-speed internet, art studios, music rooms, and well-maintained washrooms. Transport, cafeteria services, and medical rooms with trained staff ensure student wellbeing on campus.
Co-curricular Activities
Co-curricular programs are integral: debate and public speaking clubs, theatre and performing arts, visual arts and pottery, coding clubs, science societies, and language clubs help students explore interests beyond the textbook. Opportunities to lead — as club heads, house captains, and event organizers — cultivate responsibility and teamwork. Annual events, inter-school festivals, and community exhibitions showcase student work and build confidence.
Leadership & Service Programs
Structured leadership pathways move students from classroom representatives to student council members and peer mentors. Service learning integrates community projects with curriculum goals: students participate in awareness drives, local cleanups, tutoring programs, and health camps. These initiatives foster civic awareness and empathy while reinforcing project planning and reflective skills.
Sports, Health & Well-being
Physical education is a priority. The school offers athletics, football, basketball, badminton, table tennis, yoga, and martial arts coached by trained instructors. Regular intramurals and inter-school competitions promote sportsmanship and fitness. The wellbeing program combines physical fitness with mental health education: mindfulness sessions, workshops on stress management, healthy nutrition guidance, and counselling support contribute to balanced development. Sports scholarships and talent identification pathways ensure that gifted athletes receive focused training and academic flexibility when competing at higher levels.
