FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCES FORFUTURE LEADERSAs they say, experience is the best teacher.

In our effort to enable our students to mature and develop as multidimensional personalities, we organize camps, field trips and team-building programs. Through these opportunities, students interact with people who pursue and practise different professions, and also come closer to Nature. Under the careful guidance of their teachers, students get a taste of the real world and learn a lot by observation, inquiry and debate.

Our Leadrership Adventure Camps and other training programmes take place periodically right through the academic year. Appropriate to the grades they belong to, students take part in a wide range of exciting activities:

REASSURING PARENTS OFALL ESSENTIALSOF LIFE FORTHEIR CHILDRENWhile considering the wisdom of admitting them in a school,

the parents want to satisfy themselves that their children will

have all the essentials of life, besides the best possible education.

We fully appreciate the concerns and priorities of all parents.

Geekay has in place all that is necessary to ensure the safety,

comfort and well-being of its students – one hundred percent.

It is no wonder then that whether students are heading to a

classroom, to the playground, or to the canteen, you will always

see them wearing smiles as they approach their destination.
