Pre-Primary Education

The school follows ‘Josephs Approach’ for pre-primary education. We follow a stress free primary year programme in Prep I and Prep II (two year skill based program).

Malayalam will be generally used as medium of instruction in Readiness class. From Prep I Onwards English will be the medium along with Malayalam.

Schoolification is not practiced at TGS. Schoolification is the label given to the phenomena of pushing down primary school academic work into preprimary programs.

Nature walks

32 nature walks will be under taken in prep 1 and 3 nature walks in the prep 2.

Nature walks gives an opportunity to the kids to explore and experience the nature.
