Innovative Intl. School

All are kneaded of the same dough; but not baked in the same oven. – A proverb.

STEM Award

Vision, Innovation and Leadership are the anchor, buoy, and lighthouse of the GEAR Model.

The mission of GEAR is to create a genius in every child.

All children have strengths, but not everyone has abilities that could lead to outstanding performance.

• Gifted Ed Program to ALL the children • Belief: every child is gifted and/or talented • Identify. Nourish them; Nurture them. • Individualized curriculum • Multiple Intelligences FRAMEWORK • Higher Order Thinking

•  PAIR Approach• Creative Inventive Productive Excelment (CIPE)• CAP

Hands-on Science

"Hands on Science" is a continuous process of discovery and experimentation that help children to come up with different answers.

Through the "Hands on Science" children develop the skills of observation, collecting information, classification, experimentation, making estimation, prediction, drawing inferences and reporting.

Hands-on Science activities caters to needs of students from 2 ½ years

Compilation of a book of over 200 Hands-on Science activities

Helps in concept reinforcement

Encourages questioning and research

Assembly Activities

• Constants - observing, collecting data and analysing it to come up with a constant.

• SynapScience

• Divergent Thinking

Divergent ThinkingOpportunities to learners in lateral thinking, convergent thinking and divergent thinking along with the usual vertical thinking. Divergent thinking - to come out with innovative questions and make them think `out of the box’

Example:In the process of evolution, let us say, living organism did not evolve from water but did on the surface of the earth. In that process our body evolved to have the same percentage of air instead of water. Imagine the world full of such human beings. What are the differences we are likely to see on the earth now? Why would they be so?

Imagine a scene of a group of people sitting on the surface of water - lake or ocean, for a community meeting. Sketch such a scene.
