An ICSE Curriculum Built for Every Stage

In simple terms, metacognition can be defined as thinking about thinking or learning. Metacognition widely refers to the knowledge and thought processes behind one's own learning. At Gnan Srishti School of Excellence, we create opportunities for students to articulate their thoughts and to help them develop metacognitive practices. The process of metacognition is diverse, varying from child to child. Identified as a teachable practice, we ensure our students become creative problem solvers, reflective thinkers and critical analysts. Our school's metacognitive framework assists students to become self-regulated and independent thinkers. By equipping students with skills that allow them to identify, understand and answer their own queries, we develop them into 21st-century learners — moving from initial ideas and questions, through memory and self-learning and self-regulation, to thinking about their own learning.

Our Foundational wing opens its door to the tiniest of our learners. The first step into their formal education, we offer the safest learning space for our kindergarteners and grade 1 and 2 students. By exposing our students to activity-based learning and fun games, we ensure that your child gets the foundation they deserve. With a strong focus on developing learning skills, our Foundational programme is run by a team of passionate teachers who fill the classroom with positivity. Using Montessori techniques, the pre-primary section is focused on enhancing every child's cognitive, motor and social skills by transforming their playtime into a meaningful experience. Through fun-based activities and a focus on regular remediation, grades 1 and 2 are prepared for the more structured learning that awaits them. We guarantee a nurturing environment that trains them for the remainder of their formal education.

At Gnan Srishti School of Excellence, the Middle School comprises grades 6 to 8. The middle school wing follows a highly balanced outlook towards learning. Students are made to learn diverse topics through an inquiry-based learning approach. Our students have the wonderful opportunity to expand their skillsets through an intricately designed Critical Thinking Programme and an English Reading Club. Students in the middle school category, with the help of trained and dedicated teachers, are taught how to think and are exposed to a wide array of instructional tools that make them independent learners.

Our teaching staff is driven by highly qualified educators who have an evolved sense of empathy. Our teachers are the primary leaders of our school; they actively take ownership of varying tasks that make a student's journey at Gnan Srishti School of Excellence easier. Teachers at our school are consistently learning to keep their classes engaging yet informative. Tools including online and digital resources, along with creative activities and games, are used to enhance the instructional methodologies that our teachers make use of. Our staff encourages students to engage in discussions, "out-of-the-box thinking" and showcasing innovative performances for activities.

The core team at Gnan Srishti School of Excellence is a team of teachers comprising the Principal along with school coordinators and other staff members, such as the school counsellor and the librarian. The Admin core team supports the Academic team to achieve the collective goal of empowering students to be better versions of themselves — academically, emotionally and socially. The network of educators works together to make the learning experience of the students a fruitful one, while also balancing the needs of teachers, working towards conceptualising new frameworks for the school and addressing the academic, social and emotional needs of students and teachers alike, in service of a healthy, positive and flexible space for everyone. The team is led by our Principal, Ms. Priya Ramakrishnan, together with Ms. Geetha R (Secondary Coordinator), Ms. Balaviswapriya Senthil (Senior Coordinator – Admin and Academic) and Ms. Smitha Sreelal (Incharge – School Student Support).
