Global Public School

Three distinct curricula run side by side on the Kochi campus. The flagship school follows the CBSE syllabus from India's national board and takes students to Grade 12. GPS International teaches the Cambridge international curriculum, which the Trust presents as preparation for university entry outside India. GPS Brookes Kochi is an IB continuum school created in partnership with the Brookes Education Group of the United Kingdom; its acting head of school is an experienced IB educator and former Diploma Programme coordinator who taught IB Mathematics at both standard and higher level. Because the three schools share one campus and one governing Trust, families choose the route that suits their child while drawing on the same facilities, teaching staff and pastoral structures.

Entry begins with a toddler group for children aged two to three, followed by three kindergarten steps covering roughly three to six years old at Stepping Stones. Children then move into Grade 1, with admission from Grade 2 upwards decided on the basis of a transfer certificate, the previous report card and an interactive session. The school structure above that is divided between Grades 1 to 8, led by a headmistress, and Grades 9 to 12, led by a vice principal for academics, which marks the division between the middle years and the senior school that ends with the Grade 12 examinations.

The Trust sums up its aim as global vision with traditional values. Its stated vision is to bring up lifelong learners and confident, responsible citizens who do well academically while living in harmony with other people and with their environment. The mission is to run a child-centred, inclusive learning environment in which every student is helped to find their strengths and build a lasting appetite for learning. A quality policy sits alongside both, committing the schools to strong academic and co-curricular programmes and to continuous improvement.

The campus combines teaching, sport and performance spaces. Learning areas include smart and air-conditioned classrooms, computer laboratories, a robotics laboratory, a library and conference and collaboration rooms. Sport is well provided for, with swimming pools, a football turf, a floodlit athletics ground, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, an indoor badminton court, a volleyball court and cricket nets. Creative work has its own spaces: a music room, a dance studio, an indoor auditorium and an outdoor performance stage. Campus life is served by a cafeteria, landscaped lawns and student gathering areas, while younger children have age-appropriate play areas and open green space.

Beyond teaching, the campus runs a cafeteria for day students and a catered dining routine for boarders, with special attention given to meals for students who are unwell. A school paediatrician provides on-call medical support and the boarding houses follow set hygiene and safety protocols, with parents contacted promptly in an emergency. School transport is run alongside the hostel, and transport charges are published with the fee schedule for each of the four schools. The contact office routes enquiries about admissions, fees, transport and hostel places to the relevant team.

Boarding is available to both boys and girls, who live in separate wings. Each student has their own bed, storage and cupboard, and shared study zones and recreation rooms sit alongside the dormitories; a daily laundry service is provided. The routine is designed to balance study, recreation, meals and rest, with particular care taken over meals for students who are unwell, and weekends built around group activities such as Super Saturday and Special Sunday. Welfare is covered by on-call medical support from the school paediatrician, hygiene and safety protocols and prompt contact with parents in an emergency. Boarders are expected to keep their own dorm spaces, follow dress codes and respect shared property, and the use of mobile phones and valuables is regulated. Both full-boarding and week-boarding places are offered.
