Pathways School Noida works hard to preserve the best in traditional Indian and international education and culture
Entering the sprawling campus of Pathways School with its pristine cream-and-white architecture, wide green spaces, well-maintained and equipped facilities, including a horse-riding course, transports you into a distinctly luxurious schooling experience. Located in the middle of bustling Noida, it is one of the top choices of parents from Delhi-NCR considering international education for their children.
IB in India
Pathways was the first chain of schools to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum in India – comprising the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma programme (DP). In fact, Pathways World School in Aravali offGurugram Sohna Road was established in 2003 – long before the IB program caught on in a big way in India. This has given the chain a head start, and Pathways consistently ranks among the best IB schools in the country.
Catering to multiple intelligences
Dr. Shalini Advani, Director at Pathways Noida, reflects, “What makes a great school? It certainly is not beautiful buildings, comfortable, temperature-controlled classrooms or great sports facilities – although we have those. It is not easy access to advanced technology, to student laptops and interactive boards – even if Pathways has been a leader in that area. It is not an international curriculum, well suited to prepare children for a globalized world – even though we offer the IB programme.
“What matters in a school is its heart...its conviction that a school must prepare each child to be the best that she or he can be. The recognition that different children excel in different ways and that for one person, being an outstanding soccer player is as important as being a brilliant mathematician is for another.”
