The GFGS infrastructure and focus will be to engage the children with scientific theories, experiments and implements such as labs, books and installations that will invoke a sense of interest and wonder about the world of science and technology. CURRICULUM AT GFGS We follow the Central Board of Secondary Educations curriculum. The CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) is a CBSE initiative to reform the existing education system in our country. A historical prospective of examination reforms through the various phases as an example: presently, the Central Board of Secondary Education has introduced the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation in 2009 and has made the Class 10th board examination optional from 2011. To meet the objectives we need to look at holistic assessment of a learner. This will include both scholastic and co-scholastic areas of learner growth with particular reference to attributes such as life skills, attitudes, values, sports and games as well as co- curricular activities. The CCE scheme aims at addressing this in a comprehensive manner. We intend to hone the inherent skills and personalities of the children and make them globally competitive without burdening their frail, innocent minds. Facilities SMART CLASSROOMS We have been successful in bringing technology to our classrooms with the introduction of interactive Whiteboards or Smart Boards. These allow students to interact with the lesson content while allowing teachers to integrate a range of resources with their lessons. The classroom transforms into an interactive forum for sharing experiences among students, thus helping in widening their analytical faculties. LABORATORIES Keeping in tune with modern times, GFGS ensures that practical knowledge is placed on an equal footing with theoretical knowledge for the all-round development of the students. For this purpose, the school has laboratories in numerous disciplines, which provide hands on experience to its pupils. The student-friendly atmosphere in these laboratories helps to enrich the overall personality of the students through motivation and reinforcement.
