JG International School (JGIS) is an endeavor of ASIA Charitable Trust (ACT).

Established in 1965, the trust also owns and manages 20 colleges offering Bachelors and Masters Programmes in Education, Commerce, Management, Information Technology, Performing Arts, Nursing and Physiotherapy.

JGIS was founded in 2004 to real-ize the vision of creating a school where young children emerge as global citizens of tomorrow. This has manifested into a set of values and effective pedagogical practices that enable students to discover their inherent potential.

The learning environment at JGIS is student-friendly and pur-pose-driven. Intellectual curiosity, cre-ative reasoning, and enthusiasm in teachers and students are encouraged alike resulting in meaningful interac-tive sessions within and beyond class-room. The community service and social work form an essential part of curriculum to sensitize the students to the environment around them.

In alignment with its objective of well-rounded development of every student, the school focuses as much on activity and sports as on academics.

The school also provides wholesome nutritious food thrice a day in a profes-sionally managed in- house dining facility where students and teachers in defined groups partake meals.

JGIS’ success in following its philos-ophy in all facets, can be seen in its students topping the world and country at CIE examinations and topping the

state in ISC. There students are regu-larly selected to represent the country in football at international and nation-al levels and also pioneers the State Level Annual Inter-School Football Tournament- JG CUP.

The school has wide open spaces and green lawns – well-designed sports areas, play-park for younger children, indoor games arena, air-conditioned learning zones, health-center, capa-cious auditorium, the dining and resi-dential facilities for boys.

Class sizes are small with a teacher/student ratio of 1:7. Classrooms are technology-enabled making the teach-ing-learning process lively and chal-lenging. The career counselor prepares students to get placements in colleges of their calibre and choice. JGIS is proud of her alumni pursuing presti-gious courses in reputed universities in India and abroad.

Sharing her experience Kavita Sharma, Principal, JGIS shares, “As our tag line says “a class apart”, what makes us unique is the Joy that permeates every nook and cranny of our campus. Right from the corridors to the learning stations and the playground we see happy faces not just of the children but of all the stake holders. If Bhutan is the only country in the world that focuses on GNH, JGIS is probably the only school which focuses on the happiness index of each stake holder. I believe Learning and growth will happen when all stake hold-

ers are happy. Each JGIS student I can confidently say is joyful, grounded in reality, innovator and a social change maker.”

JGIS prepares students for Cambridge International Examination (CIE) - Primary and Secondary Checkpoints, IGCSE, AS and A levels as well as International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, in addition to the National curriculum- Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) – ICSE and ISC.

When was the last time your child was without a mobile

phone? When did he last go to a real zoo or park? We are keeping up with today’s fast-paced world, but have lost touch with what really mat-ters. We don’t know how to disconnect from the virtual world. Unfortunately, chil-dren have fallen prey to this trend too.

Sharing her experience, Usha Agrawal, Founder Director of Little Wings Holistic Childhood Center says, “After years of study and analysis into the field of ECE (early childhood educa-tion), we asked ourselves that what is missing and the

answer was the touch of real world, the touch of nature and awareness about importance of holistic early childhood education amongst the par-ents. Education doesn’t hap-

pen only in classrooms and a child’s mind works in an incredible way. When you put them in touch with nature and introduce them to the world of infinite possibilities, wonderful things happen. Learning becomes fun and creativity comes naturally, which is what a holistic approach education is.”

Since 85% of a child’s brain is developed till 5 years of age; which is the founda-tion in life, Little Wings Holistic Childcare Centre not only focuses academically, but also on the holistic develop-ment of the child. Five natu-ral elements (earth, fire, water, air, ether) based cur-riculum ensures that the child connects with nature. This helps to develop not only a child’s cognitive and psy-

chomotor skills, but also helps to create a positive atti-tude towards oneself as well as the society.

Little Wings eco-friendly infrastructure ensures a healthy environment which hugely impacts a little one’s growth. This is where their interests lie. They have taken the time to understand and research child psychology meticulously. Innovation to provide a continuously stimu-lating learning environment is their strong suit. So that their growth and develop-ment happen as they should. The curriculum is a balanced combination of Indian as well as international education system - the perfect balance from “OM to I-Pad”.

Apart from regular pre-school and day care, the acad-emy regularly conducts pro-grammes for parenting and mother-toddlers.

All in all, it is the holistic approach to child develop-ment, child-friendly infra-structure and lively teachers who genuinely care that make Little Wings excep-tional.
