About Us - School Philosophy

Holistic development of children with focus on their physical, emotional, intellectual, technological and social development and well-being is central to a AGS education. This is sought to be achieved through a multitude of opportunities for students to go beyond the learning of the core academic subjects. The breadth of sports and co-curricular activities that the School offers and the regular upgrading of infrastructural facilities and resources to match those requirements; the participation of students in various competitions within J&K and abroad, and so on, are proof of our school's commitment towards children's well-rounded development. We place emphasis on Art, Indian Music, Western Music, Dance, Drama, Physical Education, Yoga and encourage Service Learning from the Primary Classes. Promoting experiential and exploratory methods of learning, encouraging the appreciation and practice of our school's core values, participation of students starting from the kindergarten level in the annual day drama productions, fostering digital literacy among students, exchange programmes with other schools, and leadership and entrepreneurship development opportunities, and technology in the teaching and learning processes, are some of the many efforts that go on to supplement students' holistic development. Presentations, role-plays, small skits, and impromptu debates go a long way in developing students' ability to express themselves confidently and build on their knowledge and skills. Students have a variety of out-of-classroom activities and experiences such as theatre, football, cricket, basketball and many more. Community service helps sensitize children to the values of being compassionate and empathetic towards others' situations and needs.

The higher education pursuits of our alumni in diverse fields and their career choices encompassing a wide cross section of sectors, including as social entrepreneurs, creative artists and sportspersons, are a testament to our emphasis on providing children with a holistic education..
