Pathways School Noida was launched in 2010 and was the first ever IB school in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The day school is centrally located with ease of access from Delhi, Noida and Ghaziabad. The school applies the Multiple Intelligences approach, developed by Dr. Howard Gardner from Harvard University. The school provides a safe, tranquil, stimulating and intellectually challenging environment suited to the learning needs of each individual. Our students learn to be confident communicators who think independently, use technology easily and move on to top universities in India and around the world.
The curriculum includes the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programme of the International Baccalaureate Organisation of Geneva. The curriculum taught by our highly trained staff is supported by outstanding facilities for sports, art, music, drama, and dance. The current student strength of the school is approximately 1500 with representation from multiple nationalities.
In the latest Education World Rankings for International Day Schools, Pathways Noida was ranked 2 in the whole of North India. The school has the honour of being a ‘Microsoft Showcase School’ for its global leadership in successful integrations of technology with teaching and learning. The school has also earned the prestigious ‘LEED-EB Platinum’ rating from the United States Green Building Council for its leadership in energy and environmental design.
Pathways have created a benchmark in the purposeful use of technology in school education with universal radio networking and the use of interactive whiteboards & projection screens to integrate information communication technology (ICT) with classroom learning.
The Primary stage of education is immensely important for every child, as it is here that the foundations of literacy, numeric reflection and thinking skills are laid down for the future. At Pathways we aim to nurture skilled, confident children who are inquirers both within the classroom and in the world beyond. We address every facet of their existence – social, physical, emotional, cultural and spiritual – in addition to academics.
The IB Middle Years Programme builds on the structured, student-centred foundation laid in the Primary Years Programme in Primary School. Its framework encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real World.
All the subjects are criterion-related and have strong inter-disciplinary elements. This curriculum is approached through inquiry, developing what the students know into an exciting journey of knowing more, thus stimulating a student’s latent curiosity and honing the skills of research, expression, presentation and application. Students learn to share experiences and work in teams.
The IB Diploma Programme is among the most prestigious pre-university courses in the World. It is a two year course and examinations are taken at the end of Grade 12. It is designed to provide a holistic approach towards education. This approach nurtures not just academic excellence, but also civic responsibility, articulateness and international understanding. IBDP mandates a broad based curriculum that covers all basic disciplines and also offers opportunity for increased focus in chosen ones.
An integral part of the curriculum at Pathways is the Community Service Programme – which ensures that students are not alienated from the real world.Â
The students are initiated as early as the primary years and engage in community service activities at least once a week.Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 14 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting.
Pathways World School, Noida encourages participation in various co-curricular and extracurricular activities such as music, dance, arts and sports such as athletics, basket ball, cricket, football, horse riding, swimming, aerobics, gymnastics, table tennis and golf.
