Our curriculum combines the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), International Primary Curriculum (IPC), the English National Curriculum, and the Oxford International Curriculum for Lower Secondary. We focus on academic excellence, English language development, creativity, wellbeing, and character, helping students become confident, curious, and globally minded learners. Families choose PGIS for its welcoming community, experienced international teachers, multicultural environment, and commitment to ensuring every child is known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. With small class sizes, individualized attention, and a strong focus on real-world learning, students feel supported, confident, and inspired to reach their potential.

| Teaching approach of the school |
At Prasan Gateway International School (PGIS), we believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and actively engaged in their learning. Our teaching combines the structure and high academic expectations of the English National Curriculum with the inquiry-based learning of the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), International Primary Curriculum (IPC), and the Oxford International Curriculum for Lower Secondary. With small class sizes, teachers are able to personalise learning, adapt lessons to individual needs, and build strong relationships with every student. Learning is interactive and encourages students to ask questions, solve problems, collaborate with others, and make meaningful connections between subjects and the real world. English is the language of instruction, with additional support available for students learning English as an additional language. We also place strong emphasis on wellbeing, character development, critical thinking, creativity, communication, and international mindedness, ensuring students develop the confidence and skills needed to thrive both academically and personally. Teachers guide learning by connecting academic subjects to real-world themes and experiences, helping students understand not just what they learn, but why it matters. Lessons are designed to build critical thinking, communication, and creativity, while developing each child’s personal learning goals, such as empathy, resilience, and adaptability. We believe learning happens best in a supportive, engaging environment where students feel confident to ask questions, take risks, and celebrate progress together. |
