Learner Centered, Future Focused
Keeping in line with this motto, Indo Scots Global School does not leave any stone unturned when it comes to giving the best to its learners. We understand the importance of intellectual, physical, emotional, moral and social growth of the children hence we strive to provide best suited environment to nurture them and bring out holistic development of our learners which helps them to live a balanced life in harmony with all existence. At Indo Scots, educational process forms character, fosters confidence, makes one mentally strong and expands the intellect to think beyond the lines and make them ready for the future. Our school is founded upon the four pillars that transcends the child to a whole new plethora of opportunities that he can acquire as he traverses the years when curiosity is at its peak and innocence at its best.
The Four Pillars
At Indo Scots School, we believe education plays a vital role in empowering our young explorers to wrest control of their lives. Hence, we aspire to lay the appropriate foundation by building our school around four important pillars - Infrastructure, Curriculum, teacher, and Assessment. The inside of our school logo depicts the 4 important pillars mentioned in our Ethos. These four principles are the mantra of our success. The lions on both the sides holding the shield - One lion portrays the national emblem of India and the other the Lion Rampant of Scotland. The shield represent strength, as well as controlled environment & safety of the members of the Institutes. It's a symbol of protection. The golden leaves depicts the laurel wreath and is a symbol of triumph or victory.
Infrastructure
In every child there is an Einstein, a Da Vinci, an A R Rehman, a Bill Gates, a Narendra Modi or a Mother Teresa. Apart from the homes that they live in, the school is the place of exploration for every child to give wings to his creativity and hone his inborn talents. Our smart classrooms and learning spaces are well equipped with the latest teaching aids, fitted with the right quality of acoustics and lighting, to improve the overall interest and attention span of learners. We believe that in this day and age, having superlative sporting infrastructure and a state-of-art space for creative expressions are a pre-requisite as it plays a crucial role in shaping the personality of a child and boosting his/her chances of achieving excellence in the global arena of creative arts and sports.
At the Indo-Scots Global School, we are proud to proclaim that there’s no shortage of sporting facilities. Our institution models an immaculate blend of modern and traditional infrastructure while also having superlative playground and state-of-the-art sporting facilities in place that aids in modeling the overall development of a child. We believe that in this day and age, having top-notch sporting infrastructure is a pre-requisite as it plays a crucial role in shaping the personality of a child and boosting his/her chances of achieving excellence in the global arena of sports. By facilitating a home-away-from-home, we are proud to state that we are able to give our learners a safe and supportive living environment at all times.
Curriculum
Academic rigor that is tuned to the 21st Century needs Academic rigor that is based on test taking, tons of homework and rote memorization of facts were all methods ensured the success of the student in the last century. ISGS recognizes that to be successful in the 21st Century those erstwhile education pattern may not be sufficient and thus the rigor at ISGS is much more expansive as we believe in encouraging our learners with opportunities to explore real-world concepts and issues, challenge assumptions, think critically and endow them with skills that they can apply throughout their educational and professional journeys. Our curriculum encourages students of all ages to think critically, challenge assumptions and consider both local and global contexts. The curriculum gives them challenges to construct their own path of learning and think beyond the time.
Teachers as Facilitators
We at ISGS aspire to be to be pioneers in imparting 21st century skills and being known as a future focused educator. We are fully aware of how fast the world is moving what took some things 50 years in the past is now reducing to maybe 10 years or even just a year. Technology and innovation are spearheading this change and we as educators also have to be as adaptive in our teaching to enable our teachers to be able to move out of their comfort zone and go beyond the historical and traditional way of teaching and become more and more relevant to the demands of the hour. Their task is to present the information to the young explorers effectively in a way that it makes them want to learn by themselves. Teachers enable and support learners as they develop the approaches to learning they need for both academic and personal success.
Assessment
To prepare our learners for the life of the future, we will need to re-imagine learning. Things like walkman, typewriters, videocassettes, film roll cameras, the assessment of rote learning and judging of students by marks could also follow. We are all well aware that quite a lot of the careers of today will be taken over by AI (Artificial Intelligence). So, should we also not be different and teach differently, assess differently to foster an environment of creativity, critical thinking and futuristic outlook. For us at ISGS, assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning. The word assessment comes from the Latin word Assidere which means to sit beside. We therefore treat every learners assessment as an opportunity to sit with your child to help them and of course you as parents and make you understand where the child is in their progression of learning.
Pre Primary
The inquiry-based approach of our pre-primary curriculum in introduced from 3 years onwards in order to educate bright, inquiring minds and to ignite their curiosity for success in primary school. This is the foremost and highly imperative aspect of the Indo Scots continuum.
Our Learning Hands is a learning model wherein different strands of education join together to present a complete and valuable learning experience for children.

The curious nature of children is led to exciting discoveries and age-appropriate pedagogical awareness that prepare them for success in the journey of their life. The components of the curriculum are interlinked and interconnected with appropriate facilities.
It’s imperative that the right setting is provided to the young learners as we believe that it’s a key part of a successful foundation that inspires the child in preparation for a lifelong learning adventure. By providing the right set of opportunities along with the apt learning spaces, our young learners will be able to learn, to grow and explore possible worlds through their imaginations.
Our bespoke environment is innovative, creative and most importantly, purpose-built for them.
