The GWIS learning methodology discourages rote learning completely. The backbone of our system is a structure of 'Pupil Performance Standards'.

GWIS follows the system of continuous assessment, a unique methodology for evaluating pupil performance. It comprises of Observation, Assessment of ongoing activity and written assignments through the year.
Since we firmly believe that no two children are alike, GWIS refrains from ranking or relatively grading children in progress cards. Instead parents are continuously updated on the monthly progress of their wards, clearly listing the skills acquired by them at the end of each monthly program while highlighting the strengths & weaknesses of the Pupil.
