Gem International School

Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training or research. It is a continuous process by which a generation is prepared for the future by being provided with as many opportunities as possible to develop every aspects of personality. Our earnest effort is to provide students with an education that allows them to recognize and realize their dreams and skills and to be able to ignite the passion to excel. Learning is designed to develop understanding and to challenge students to push the boundaries of their thinking. We provide an environment that encourages the students to be self disciplined. Choosing where to start your education is a major decision and I believe that GEM International School, Kannur will be a choice you will not regret, especially if you are ambitious and determined to succeed. Chairman GEM school, Kannur is welcoming and positive school where there are high expectations for learning and behaviour .The children who attend our school are considerate and supportive of each other and are fortunate to be offered a wealth of opportunities to spark their interests, feed their enthusiasm and extent their creativity. Students at GEM School, Kannur are motivated to develop skills and a thorough understanding of interdependence. The aim of school is to provide unmatched qualitative education par excellence. Our focus is to train children to become autonomous learners. GEM, Kannur prides itself on the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual development of its students. We strive to impart knowledge that encompasses the prescribed syllabi of the institution as well as that of the world that lies beyond the class room. It is our endeavour to shape well rounded personalities that will contribute positively to the society. We shape our students for a globalized future, where changes take place every second and decisions have to be taken on the spot. A child’s mind is highly productive machine. Teachers need to make sure that they tune this machine in such a manner that it becomes respective. The staff of GEM are highly committed to the aims and ethos of the school, dedicated to develop the full potential of all. We are committed to focus on the individual and allow pupils to grow in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. Success at school begins at home. Parents are the single most important variable in a child’s schooling. Parents model both a silent and spoken language in front of their children daily. The close partnership between home and school is one of the exceptional strengths at GEM. Hopefully we can provide time for our children to be children. The reality of the adult world will be there all too soon. As children grow and learn, they find joy and satisfaction in working closely with their families towards a common goal. Such is the case with the students at GEM, Kannur. Commitment to the best for our children on the part of parents, students and staff is the key to our success with the children we teach. The children are the heart of our school. Our children are incredibly welcoming, so new pupils quickly feel a part of our school community. GEM school is a wonderful community being friendly and welcoming to all newcomers. The school works hard to maintain an atmosphere of caring and respect. We believe, children learn best when they feel safe, so we have an ongoing focus in providing a caring and culturally aware environment. We have strong literacy, programs especially in reading, written language and oral language. We offer programs to support children with needs as well as extending able students within our classroom programs. Improving student learning is the basis for all decisions made at GEM. At our school, students are learners today, leaders tomorrow. Our mission at GEM is to prepare our students to be independent, lifelong learners and productive citizens of the world by providing safe, stimulating and challenging educational experiences. I conclude my message with an invitation to you to visit the GEM International school, Kannur campus, where teaching and learning is simple and enjoyable and most importantly, within the reach of students.

It is with pleasure that I extend to you a warm welcome to the GEM International School website. As Principal, I am delighted to be leading this amazing school. GEM International School is a Primary Stage to A level School affiliated to the University of Cambridge International Examinations Our students are confident, friendly, highly motivated, morally aware, culturally respectful and socially responsible. It is the purpose of education to encompass a broad spectrum of experiences, so that the child may encounter or exclude those experiences necessary to fulfill the individual’s desire to explore and learn. Several basic principles underlie our educational philosophy. Firstly, be aware that each child is unique. Secondly, there is individual potential in all children and excellence in every child. Thirdly, children are skilled in how to think critically and logically about the world around them in order to make informed and accurate decisions about their education. Finally, the social and emotional climate of the classroom should be such that each child’s contribution is valued, each child takes responsibility for the community by respecting people and property and each child takes personal responsibility for certain aspects of the organization of his / her work and interests. The approach to learning is remarkably simple. Put talented and diverse young people together with skilled and dedicated adults, with support from engaged and committed families and you create extraordinary results that speak for themselves. It is a culture where students at all levels say it is “cool to do your best” or “cool to be smart” and where mathematicians, athletes, writers, and musicians all thrive side-by-side working together building a community of life-long learners. As a professional learning community, we are committed to working tirelessly to provide challenging educational opportunities for children each day. During the course of the year, it is my hope that we will work together to provide the students of GEM International School the best possible opportunities in preparing them to be world-class citizens ready to master the challenges of the 21st Century. As Principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors-staff, students, and parents is excited to be here with high expectations! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun and nurturing environment. GEM International School is a special place to learn and we welcome you to visit the school and become part of our learning community.
