24th November 2015: Practicing what is preached happens to be the driving vision of the gatewayschools.edu.in. The pioneering venture that started with the exemplary vision of Father Anon D. Cruz seeks to groom global citizens. The objective is not only to stick to the basic modalities of the scholastic curriculum but to go well beyond the same so that the students develop the power of enquiry and that of reasoning. The teachers not only serve as a connective link between the syllabus and the learners but are found adopting an interactive approach. This approach in turn, facilitates the growth and development of the individual personality.

Learning is a lifelong process. It is not possible to constrict learning to the water-tight compartments. The Chennai international school believes in this maxim, and in view of this it strives to adopt a broad-based perspective towards the challenges of the time. The goal is to inculcate similar spirit in the children so that they are well prepared to accept the challenges of today and tomorrow. It is here that learning serves as a source of empowerment. The Gateway educational organization has managed to take the entire process of teaching and learning to a new level, where there is a concerted focus on the holistic development of each and every child.

As a leading international school in Tamil Nadu, it provides both the learners, as well as the teacher with the right sets of tools and tricks. The developmental process depends to a great extent on the inputs that have been provided. Likewise the ambiance has to be congenial to the teaching-learning process. Here again, you notice a concerted endeavor towards creating an ambiance that has a judicious mix of values, principles, freedom, reasoning, questioning and innovation. The faculty members, non-educational staff source as well as the administrative wing of the international school strives towards providing the children with a complete and comprehensive learning experience.

As said before, the driving vision is to groom globally accomplished learners who are ready to take on the further challenges. Challenges are the part and parcel of life, growth and development. Be it in the academic field, or in the professional field; an individual has to be mentally and socially prepared to accept the challenges. It is here that the lifelong learning perspective pays off, in a big way. The international schools in India uphold the importance and objectivity “education and learning for life”. Hence, it isn’t difficult to understand the surging popularity of these international schools.

The spokesperson of the Gateway International School not only highlights the exceptional facilities that the students and the faculty members are provided with but also brings to light the outstanding hallmarks of the IB-based teaching learning process. “We not only develop the scholastic skills of the individual learners but also take effective measures for developing and grooming the social skills which the learner is supposed to use later on in his life, in the course of his professional and educational interaction”.

Every teacher is expected to attend the IB training workshop, and comply with the IB-oriented teaching-learning interaction. Similar, is true of the students who are supposed to imbibe the ten characteristics of IB:
• Cultivate a spirit of enquiry
• Think rationally
• Assimilate the knowledge that is provided
• Communicate with ease
• Adopt a set of principles
• Be open-minded and inquisitive
• Be caring and compassionate
• Cultivate the ability to take risks
• Adopt a balanced approach towards life
• Be reflective and innovative
