1. Dear Parent,
All International schools share a
common philosophy—a commit-
ment to high quality, challenging,
international education that
AGSN believes is important for
our students.
We are working hard every day
to give our students a top of the
line education so that they excel
in life and become responsible
global citizens.
I am delighted to share that we
have introduced IB PYP and be-
come a candidate school for
IBDP that focuses on self-
directed learning.
The IB programme prepares stu-
dents to become active, caring,
and lifelong learners who demon-
strate respect for themselves and
others and have the capacity to
participate in the world around
them. It focuses on developing
the child’s curiosity, both within and
beyond the classroom.
IB PYP students enjoy learner-centered
teaching, with an inquiry-based trans
disciplinary curriculum model. Students
truly shine, showing the depth of their
learning and their unique personalities.
They become better learners in all areas
and often find ways to enjoy and be
more successful in areas that were pre-
viously viewed without enthusiasm.
Many thanks to the parents for support-
ing us and showing great faith in us
which is much appreciated.
Have a restful and relaxed summer
break! Warm regards!
Mrs. Jayashree Kad
Principal
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into
windows.”
