Top-class education, world-class infrastructure, highly-experienced teachers – All that is fine, but what makes a school stand apart? It is how they imbibe education and values in their students.
It is the methodology, the facilities, and the approach toward education that determines whether a child is going to be happy at school.
The Gaudium School redefines the learning approach beautifully by including a variety of activities and modules in its curriculum.
The word Gaudium means Joy in Latin, and we think the school lives up to its pleasant name. From an interactive adventure park to a petting zoo to a DIY life skills program, there are many verticals in which the Gaudium School is the first one to bring about changes. All these are put together to give children a childhood worth cherishing.
The school has campuses in Gachibowli and Kollur. The Gachibowli campus is relatively smaller while the Kollur campus is expansive and houses some of the best facilities a parent could imagine for his/her child.
27 acres of joyous learning!
The Gaudium School in Kollur is an ecosystem by itself. The campus is sustainable and eco-friendly and is home to flora and fauna in abundance.
So, children in Gaudium experience and learn from nature every single day. The chirping of birds, the rustle of trees, and the ripple of water are a part of their lives at Gaudium.

Infrastructure that sculpts happiness
Strongly believing that education flourishes in a green, eco-friendly setup, the founders of The Gaudium School took steps to build a campus that was aligned with nature and education at the same time.
The infrastructure is probably among the best in Hyderabad consisting of everything from a park to a zoo and water bodies.
Alongside this, the entire campus is secured with technologically advanced features such as CCTV surveillance, door access control system, fire detection, wireless network, and more.
Classrooms
Classrooms at The Gaudium School are inclusive, promoting child-centric, concept-based learning. Teachers use technologically-updated techniques and various interactive methods while teaching.
The school maintains a student-teacher ratio of 12:1.
Laboratories
Most things about The Gaudium School awe parents such as their diverse laboratories. Just about every school has science and computer labs, but Gaudium also has a writing lab, a STEM lab, a DIY lab, and a social science lab.
Each laboratory is ultra-modern with learning kits and next-generation apparatus.
Interactive science park
Science education comes to life at The Gaudium School quite literally. The science park enables children to take learning out of the classroom and into nature.
Stargazing, butterfly breeding, bird watching, and farming are some of the activities that children can engage in on a regular basis.
The park also has a petting zoo, which is another first in Hyderabad. No other school (that we know of) has a petting zoo in its campus!
The whole idea of this zoo is to sensitize children to other beings and teach them how to live in harmony with everyone. The petting zoo has ducks, horses, rabbits, and goats, among other animals.
Adventure campsite
The school has a dedicated area for adventure sports such as rope bridge crossing, camping, building tree houses, rappelling, and rock climbing. These activities bring joy and a sense of accomplishment in children, which is super important for confidence and morale.
Fine art studios
Depending on their preferences, children can pick music, theater, art & craft, dance, yoga & meditation, and sculpting & pottery. The school has amenities and dedicated tutors for each of these activities.
Sports Arenas
The Gaudium School has separate indoor and outdoor sports arenas. The indoor sports arena consists of table tennis, badminton, squash, and basketball courts.
The outdoor sports arena has a football field, a 400-meter athletic track, cricket nets, basketball courts, volleyball courts, a hockey field, and a swimming pool.
Scholastic and co-scholastic activities
The Gaudium School was the first in the city to offer STEM education. It has scholastic and co-scholastic STEM activities that promote this approach to learning.
- Scholastic activities: These include communication and language skills with a focus on handwriting, creative writing, listening, and reading.
- Co-scholastic activities: These include theater, problem-solving, physical fitness, self-discipline, social awareness, memory, life skills, etc.
Academics: It is all about experiential learning here!
At this point, it is quite evident why The Gaudium School is among the top 10 IB schools in Hyderabad. Its academic approach will strengthen this furthermore.
It offers a core curriculum of an integrated and international program through which children bring out their curiosity and imagination.
Teaching at The Gaudium School is far from just instruction-based. It includes a number of teaching strategies such as treasure hunt, projects, research, workshops, games, dissections, field trips, and celebrations. Age appropriate counseling is a part of the school’s regular academic approach.
Besides the regular curriculum, the school also offers special programs for gifted children. Remedial classes are conducted during the school hours for children who demonstrate the need for them.
