On the 2nd of September, 2017, I happened to attend the Premier School Exhibition, held at Expocentre, Sector 62 NOIDA. The exhibition was a great platform for the whole list of schools in NOIDA to showcase their values and exclusivity. It was a delight to be among school leaders, students brimming with vibrancy, and a pleasant commotion of parents. If you look at the list of schools in Noida, you would have seen the cream of the city there.
Most school booths had a certain area dedicated for play. So the parents can have a discussion with the school’s team, while the kids are busy playing or coloring right next to them. Among all the school stands that I visited there, one particular school caught my attention. Certainly, Global Schools are now making it to the top of the list of schools in NOIDA.
I noticed some colorful numbering on the posters in the background, which got me curious. I decided to spend some time with the team at that stall and try understanding the ethos of the school. For me, the ethos of a school means more than mere accolades, because a child may or may not win something because of the school, but how the culture of the school is, shapes their demeanor for life.
I got into a conversation with a gentleman at the stall. I asked him about what these numbers meant. So he told me that these are the number of ways we ensure each child is provided the true #GlobalAdvantage. Amongst these, I was thrilled to learn about the unique 9 Gems program that Global Indian International School has. He called it a holistic teaching methodology. He asked me, what’s your focus as a parent if you had to choose between co-curricular & Academics? And I happily answered that it’s Extra-curriculars. He said for sure your child is in the primary section.
‘As soon as kids reach the 8th or 9th standard, parents want them to follow a strictly academic approach because, at the end, marks do matter’, he added. He reiterated that with the certified 9 Gems program, the Global Indian International School ensures that the child develops holistically. The focus is on academics, Sports, visual & digital arts, personality development, creativity & problem solving, leadership skills, life skills & the like. The Global Indian International School as a school focuses on all the aspects, even if broadly divided into just extracurricular and academics.

So if a child has been attending a 3 day trip to a different city representing the Global Indian International School on a national level for a competition, when he returns, the entire staff focuses on helping that one single individual to pick up on where he has been lagging. So while the child was busy garnering accolades for sports in co-curricular, the school prepares itself to help the child gain a boost in their academics.
This seemed very interesting and quite a unique model to me.
The ethos of Global Indian International School is built upon the idea that the students, as well as teachers, basically need to be happy to learn or impart learning better. Frequent learning programs for teachers, beautifully decorated, colorful classrooms, lush green lawns, add-on to the aesthetics and eventually happiness. The school encourages concepts of self-learning & peer-learning along with classroom learning. This helps kids build bonds and learn in a more convenient way.
The Global Indian International School gets an index value by constantly seeking feedback from meetings and questionnaires for children as well as parents. It is something that their system is quite proud of, and should be, actually!
Schools play a major role in how an individual shapes-up to be and hence, it is quite important to make an informed choice. If Global schools are making it to the top of the list of schools in NOIDA, they are rightly doing so.
