At GISM, we believe in a holistic and student-centered approach to education, ensuring that learning is engaging, meaningful, and future-ready. Our curriculum blends academic excellence, skill development, and real-world applications, empowering students to think critically, communicate effectively, and adapt to a dynamic world.
KINDERGARTEN-CLASSES II
Entering Kindergarten is one of the most significant milestones in a young child’s life and it’s something that deserves to be celebrated. GISM follows a unique curriculum for kindergartners where we nurture their creative & thinking skills.
SAND WRITING
Kindergartners are exposed to sand writing to develop their fine motor skills. When a child uses his/her fingers to write a letter and number in sand, the whole arm is involved. This gives the complete stroke development as a whole which enhances their fine motor abilities.
OPENING ACTIVITY
Opening activity is one among the methodology which activates the little mind in no time. It also makes them revise their basics in a fun-filled way. Here at Gateway the kids are engaged in five different fun-filled learning activities five days a week. The mornings are energized by the surprise activities planned by our creative kinder team for our children.
STORY CORNER
The enriching story corners activates their mind to think beyond the set methodology of the classroom. Children come up with their own creative stories based on the picture portrayed in the corner. They narrate a story which beautifully depicts the plethora of imagination beyond the horizon. It not only enhances vocabulary but also trains the children to be an imaginative speaker.
SUBJECT CLUBS
With the introduction of exclusive club sessions, the students are provided with a wider opportunity to understand the concepts equipped for the current needs in the respective fields. The active participation for every child with the zeal and energy creates interest towards experiential learning. The school offers grade appropriate subject clubs as mentioned below:

At GISM, education is not just about memorization; it’s about understanding, exploring, and applying knowledge in meaningful ways. Our approach ensures that students develop skills for life, become independent thinkers, and grow into responsible global citizens.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment of learning happens throughout the year and it is completely based on CBSE board guidelines. Every work of the student will be assessed continuously throughout.
We believe that the observation as well as documentation of the observation is the most important method of gaining assessment information about a child.
Observation is the primary assessment strategy used in kindergarten. Teachers focus their observation on specific skills, concepts or characteristics described in the learning expectations and record their observations on a regular basis.
For graders there are various ways of documenting observations such as using anecdotal records, checklist of rating scales, Project exploration and term wise pen and paper assessment.
EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIP
At GISM, learning goes beyond the classroom with our Monthly Educational Trips, designed to provide hands-on experiences that enrich students’ knowledge and curiosity. These carefully planned outings align with academic concepts and real-world applications, ensuring an engaging and immersive learning journey.
Students have visited science museums, farms, supermarkets, heritage sites, and nature parks, gaining valuable insights into various subjects. Each trip is thoughtfully selected to complement classroom learning, fostering a well-rounded
educational experience.
OUT-BOUND LEARNING
Outbound learning program focuses to impart learning needs such as leadership, Strategic thinking, and Conflict management, team building, effective and productive mode of communication, creative thinking and problem solving techniques. Outbound learning sessions are well guided by instructors and experienced facilitators to meet the needs of the era.
