Johnson Grammar School started in 1979 with nine students<br />

and is today rated as one of the best ICSE schools in India and<br />

has a cohort of more than 5000 students. With its aim to plan<br />

collaboratively and diversify learning resources beyond<br />

textbooks, JGS is keenly driven by its mission statement of<br />

attaining a leading position in providing the finest quality<br />

education services for the all round development of students<br />

so that character is formed, strength of mind is increased and<br />

the intellect is expanded.<br />

The school’s vision of moving in pace with a fast changing<br />

world, led to the introduction of the <strong>IB</strong>DP in 2008. With its<br />

successful authorization to deliver the <strong>IB</strong>DP under the<br />

leadership of its visionary leader Dr Chandrasekhar, JGS has<br />

now had four triumphant years with the <strong>IB</strong>. The first two<br />

batches of students have successfully completed the<br />

programme, graduating with above average global scores.<br />

New students will be assessed for their proficiency in the<br />

English language and in the subjects of their prime choice,<br />

which range from science and math to business management<br />

and economics to languages like Hindi and French and visual<br />

art with English under group 1. Teachers and the admissions<br />

officer will be on hand to help each student choose the best<br />

combination of subjects.<br />

Students are involved in CAS, which enables group<br />

contribution to the wellbeing of society in and around<br />

Habsiguda, the school’s prime location. CAS also offers the<br />

opportunity to develop a wide range of skills including sports,<br />

theatre, debate, music and art, thus encouraging the student<br />

to participate in national and international competitions.<br />

Keeping in line with the suburban setting, the school offers<br />

air conditioned classrooms, custom made laboratories and a<br />

well stocked library for further study and research. High levels<br />

of professionalism among the teaching staff, linked to a<br />

change in the teaching strategies involving contemporary<br />

technology, enables students to get only the best.<br />

With its eternal belief that success is possible even when<br />

there are limitations, JGS has carved a niche for itself among<br />

other <strong>IB</strong> <strong>World</strong> Schools.<br />
