The GMP programme is taught to students from Nursery to Kindergarten.

IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)

Our IB Primary Years Programme gives a great foundation to students in academic rigours.

The IB PYP is an inquiry based, trans-disciplinary framework, that encourages students to take the responsibility for their learning by challenging them to actively participate in their education as they explore local and global issues and opportunities in real-life contexts. Taught in over 109 countries around the world, the PYP curriculum framework is uniquely adaptable to state and national standards.

Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme (CLSP) is the first step for students who want to choose International Curricula as their mode of higher study.

Bilingual Curriculum

With the world coming closer together, it is essential that students learn as many languages as possible to help them manoeuvre the realities of the new world for worldly success. Bilingualism will be a distinctive skill throughout much of the 21st century, as professionals across all industries begin to work in a globally-connected economy.

Student Handbook

The Student Handbook is prepared as a guide for parents and students to be acquainted with the policies and procedures of the school, to be followed during the academic year.
