A Holistic Educational Framework called 9GEMS
Our major goal is to nurture students into wholesome personalities through enhanced learning experiences and appropriate new-age platforms for skill development. Our award-winning 9GEMS framework is designed to work hand-in-hand with the Indian International school curricula, to provide excellence in nine different areas of educational importance like Academics, Sports, Innovation, Leadership, Arts, Entrepreneurship, Community Connect and Universal values.
This dynamic framework integrates the syllabus with digital and futuristic platforms for activity-based learning which builds creativity, critical thinking capabilities and emotional health of the learners.
Bridge to Grade 2
We believe in accommodating the needs of expatriate students, which is why we keep the flexibility of getting admission in the secondary school throughout the year. For students, who join in the middle of an academic year, we ensure not just seamless experience but also seamless assimilation in the learning process.
Through the Bridge Programme, we assist students to catch up with their peers in academic and other school activities. Our teachers make a consolidated effort to help new students gel into the new environment by providing academic support through project notes, extra effort through teaching, and offline support when required. This helps students to get comfortable in the new learning environment, catch up with the rest of the class and build a friendship bond with other classmates.
