Senior School

 

 

SENIOR SCHOOL (GRADES: IX-XII )

OVERVIEW:

Our Senior School learning builds on the structured, student-centred foundation laid in the Middle School. Its framework encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real World.

All the subjects are criterion-related and have strong inter-disciplinary elements. This curriculum is approached through inquiry, developing what the students know into an exciting journey of knowing more, thus stimulating a student’s latent curiosity and honing the skills of research, expression, presentation and application. Students learn to share experiences and work in teams.

METHODOLOGY AND LEARNING STYLE:

"Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?" - TS Eliot

This statement encapsulates one of our major objectives. A key skill in an age when we are constantly bombarded with information and pseudo-information is the ability to sift the evidence and come to our own conclusions. The Goenkan approach to learning encourages the development of this skill, not just because the CBSE curriculum demands it but because survival can depend upon it.

LEARNING TO LEARN
G D GOENKA aims to develop motivated, confident articulate students with the skills necessary for independent study. Observing that teachers are also learning, young people are themselves encouraged to become Life-Long Learners.

ANYWHERE- ANYTIME LEARNING:
Because the campus is student-friendly, with universal access to IT and other technological support, students become aware from the outset that learning can and should be ’Anywhere-Anytime’.
