– Niru Agarwal, Managing Trustee, Greenwood High

Our Journey

Greenwood High International School, Bangalore was established in 2004 with a goal to educate young individuals to become actively engaged and socially responsible citizens. The school accommodates over 8,000 students and employs more than 1,600 staff members across two major campuses – Sarjapur and Bannerghatta, offering ICSE, IGCSE, & IB curricula. Greenwood High also boasts 6 preschools located in various parts of Bangalore. Since its inception, the school has been honoured with numerous prestigious awards for both academic and co-curricular achievements. The school’s world-class sports complex, a fully equipped auditorium, a theatre, and music rooms enables a holistic, globally comparable education. 

Vision

Our vision is to constantly strive to implement, innovate and align ourselves with the latest means and methods of education. We believe in preserving the traditional ways of learning while focusing on a pragmatic approach. The school analyses all prevailing methods and techniques available worldwide to come up with best practices apt for our students. We realise that improvement is an ongoing process, and our practices are assessed relentlessly as we move forward.

Practice

The school aims to develop students’ potential in diverse areas and to promote respect, tolerance, and cultural allegiance. Freshness in approach, openness of enquiry, breadth of study, creativity in communication and invention, independence of mind, and ambition for real quality – these are the keynotes in our approach to education, and we hope our students will embrace them with energy.

A harmonious student-teacher relationship is vital to our success. We believe in encouraging intellectual and cultural diversity and aim at developing our pupils’ sense of responsibility towards the wider community.

We are also committed to offer a dynamic environment where each student is challenged and encouraged to become a critical and compassionate thinker, dedicated learner for life, a contributing member of the local and global community, showing respect and understanding for other cultures and acknowledging that others can be different and right. Greenwood High pledges not to make its students apprehensive of their limitations. Instead, we encourage them to discover their own potential and develop it in our ‘Total Learning Environment’.
