About GDGGS
GDGGS: A GLOBAL SCHOOL DIVERSITY AT GDGGS:
GDGGS will be home to students from diverse backgrounds and locations across India and the world. Together with children from across India, itself a melting-pot of different cultures, languages, religions and beliefs, GDGGS a crucible for global leadership in the 21st century. By definition, a transformative experience, we at GDGGS guide and support our students to forge new identities, impacting and impacted by this experience of ‘learning from difference’ (Crucibles of Leadership – Warren Bennis and Robert J. Thomas, FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2002 ISSUE, Harvard Business Review).
NRIs and Persons of Indian origin abroad connect with the experience we offer, as children enjoy an international standard of education, while reconnecting with the multiple cultures and values that form the backbone of India’s existence.
LEARNING WITH A DIFFERENCE
Learning with students from highly diverse communities ensures students gain exposure to different points of view that they would otherwise never experience as school students. The opportunities to grow and learn are many:
- Students get to see the world through multiple perspectives.
- The curriculum exposes children to global practices in learning and assessment while developing global awareness.
- They gain fluency in more than one language.
- They are encouraged to respect values of acceptance and inclusion.
- Aligned to the ethos at GDGGS, they value diversity and develop a commitment to honouring differences of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, ability and socio-economic background.
- This vibrant atmosphere of diversity strengthens GDGGS as a community and students as individuals who truly become educated leaders of tomorrow.
