THEGEMS follows the ICSE Curriculum till grade 10 and ISC till 12
Our Curriculum Framework consists of five essential elements: concepts, knowledge, skills, attitude and action. We offer a core of academic subjects like language, mathematics, science and social sciences.
The learning environment is child-centered and the curriculum is enriched by strong learning resources.
English is our first language, where appropriate art, physical education, social development, value education and computer education is provided.
We encourage children to discover and explore through experimental activities that are designed to make them think.
The curriculum is designed to strengthen higher order thinking skills by exposing students to a variety of content areas while nurturing artistic, physical and interpersonal development.

The academic atmosphere at Gurukulam English Medium School is a rare blend of modern day technical skills and the traditional emphasis on imparting knowledge.
School is actually a mini society. At high school level students are not only practical but also perfectly capable of acquiring knowledge.

Problem solver, Equanimous, Introspective, Persistent and Curious.
We act as facilitators who ignite a love for learning in our learners and guide them in their quest for knowledge.
