beyond academics
-
Art Philosophy
The term 'Art' includes a wide spectrum of experiences that enrich human life: the Visual Arts, Performing Arts like music and dance, Speech and Drama, and others forms of creativity as well. Our commitment to our students’ continuing engagement with art is evident in the Arts spaces that we provide them with – like our Performing Arts Studio and our Design and Visual Art studios – and through the impressive team of art teachers we pull together.

Life skills and Values Education
To achieve our motto, 'Engaging Minds, Changing Futures', our children need to be empowered with more than just academic knowledge. They need to have interpersonal and social skills as well. Our Life Skills sessions at Garodia International Centre for Learning Mumbai's new international institute help students from Grades 3 to 5 manage hostile emotions like anger, and help them deal with failure and bullying. The weekly sessions also help them set goals and make friends.
-
Entrepreneurship
Our Incubation Centre and the structured Entrepreneurship sessions we conduct, expose students in their early teens to a vibrant and dynamic process early in life – that of thinking like an entrepreneur. Using games, events, simulations and important Life Skills lessons, this module aims to equip students with the basic tools, ideas and the safe space to be entrepreneurs.

PSHCE and Counselling
All students at Garodia International Centre for Learning Mumbai undertake a weekly programme that encourages them to tackle personal situations and learn how to be better citizens.
