My school journey at GD Goenka Public School, Dwarka, has been amazing. With excellent teachers, AI-based learning, and engaging classes, academics are strong. Through dance, debates, and MUN, I’ve gained confidence, skills, and leadership. I truly love my school

My journey at GD Goenka Public School has been full of encouragement and opportunities. I feel very lucky to have teachers who always believed in me and guided me to give my best. Their constant support gave me the courage to take part in different competitions and showcase my abilities.

One of my proudest moments was winning the Gold Medal in a science fair, where my project was appreciated for its creativity and practical thinking. Science has always been my favourite subject, and my teachers motivated me to ask questions, explore new ideas, and present them with confidence.

Along with science, my school has also helped me discover my talents in other areas. I have participated in quiz competitions, singing events, and inter-house activities, which have helped me grow as a more confident and expressive student. Each opportunity gave me a new experience and taught me how to balance hard work with enjoyment.

Winning prizes in different competitions has been exciting, but what I value most is the encouragement I receive from my teachers and the belief my school places in me. GD Goenka has given me the platform to learn, perform, and dream bigger each day.

I feel proud to be a Goenkan and I hope to continue learning, experimenting, and contributing in different fields. My message to my friends is to never stop trying — because every opportunity is a step towards discovering your true potential.

What comes to your mind when you hear school. Word- school always take me to my memories at GD Goenka. Walking through the gates of GDGPS never felt like just entering just school – it felt like coming home. Being a part of such a institution for 7 years is more than prestigious for sure. From the very first day I was in awe of the world class infrastructure – digital classrooms, well equipped labs, auditorium and green fields, every corner feels like home. Management is outstanding, Principal is exemplary and teachers are masters of their craft. School offers unforgettable experiences – be it interhouse, interschool, cultural fest or even the opportunities to meet real life achievers and celebrities who visit the campus. Teachers at GDGPS are more than just educators – they teach, guide and care with maximum genuineness. What I love the most about GDGPS is the perfect balance between academics and co-curricular activities. School believes in holistic development and has helped me become more confident, discipline and open minded. I am proud to be a part of GD Goenka family, where everyday is a new opportunity to learn and make lifelong memories. Thank you GD Goenka for shaping me into the person I am today.

Goenka is not just a word but an emotion since 2022. GD Goenka has been more than a school, it is a place where academics unite with activities. The school doesn’t just provide holistic development but also opportunities which bring us closer to who we aspire to be.

The halls of the school fade in laughter of more than twenty student clubs, 15 sporting activities and not forgetting the National Cadet Corps, specially brought for those with a passion for the armed forces. The school celebrates every personality and every student’s individuality.

The schools’ environment nurtures not only cultural vibrance, but also academic brilliance, felicitating those on the merit list every year.

I walk in these corridors when every memory replays in my mind of the school assemblies and teacher student interactions. The memories I made in the theatre, Design Thinking-AI and the mass media room stand out to this day. From the legal battles of the legal studies room to the creative radiance of the fashion studies room, everything stands out. Activities like MUNs, Mock trials, movie making, symphony and fate not only create a vivid landscape of cultural activities but also add colors to the personality of each student.

My journey at GD Goenka started in 2013 when my family and I shifted to Lucknow from Chandigarh. My parents, both strong headed alumni faced a disagreement while deciding which school to send me to. My father had the upper hand since his school provided co-ed education unlike my mother’s. My mother wasn’t the sort to give up easily and so began her research to find the best school in Lucknow that was better than both of theirs combined.

After spending 12 years here, I realized that what makes this institution stand out is that the teachers pay attention to each and every student. They understand that each child is different and their individuality is what makes them special. They recognize their potential and push them forward unlike other schools that simply rotate a good lot. The teacher faculty not only ensures academic development of the child but also encourages students to play sports, participate in the performing arts and brush up their communication skills in public settings.

We live in an ever-changing world that has shifted its focus from degrees to in demand skills and GD Goenka is geared up to prepare their students well before letting them step into the world. Whether it is by introducing new subjects like Artificial Intelligence, Mass Media and Legal Studies; teaching technical skills like editing, videography and podcasting or by providing self-defense training with the National Cadet Corps.

GD Goenka Public School is more than just and institution, it’s a journey that brings out your true potential.

"My experience at GD Goenka International School, Gandhidham has been truly transformative. The faculty's dedication, the supportive environment, and the hands-on learning opportunities have helped me grow both personally and professionally. I’m grateful for the guidance and encouragement I received throughout my journey."

Coming from an army background and having changed school eleven times, adjusting to new environments has always been something that I have struggled with.

Last year in the month of November, I and my family shifted to Lucknow. I was in grade eleventh at the time and finding a good school mid-session was quite a task. So we started enquiring, that’s when we realized that GD Goenka Lucknow was quite popular and widely recommended. Initially, we could not understand the hype about the school. We decided to dedicate an entire day for visiting numerous schools of Lucknow. Among all the schools, that we visited GD Goenka, made the entire admission process seem really easy including transfer of LOC for board registration. Unlike the other school, they did not present us with ‘ifs and buts’ rather welcomed us with open arms. The principal, Dr. Prerna Mitra even arranged a school tour for us, which gave me and my parents a better look on to how things take place within the campus. Next thing, that caught our eyes were the variety of subjects Goenka offered, because of which I could easily find my chosen set of subjects, thereby negating the fear of changing subject mid-session. Then came the entrance exam for which proper syllabus, was provided including the blueprint. Upon joining the school, all the teachers and students were very accommodating and took due care. Teachers made sure that I was comfortable. In every few days they would ask me how things are going on, which made adjustment at Goenka feel like a piece of cake. Even coordinator took steps to ensure that I felt included and not alienated. Considering, second unit examinations were about to commence when I joined, teachers took extra initiative to help me bridge my backlog. Co-curricular were perfectly made to balance with academics. Then came class XIIth in where bridge-courses and podcasts were conducted within the school premises to give every student a better insight on the future fields or paths they intended to pursue. Goenka leaves no stone unturned in maintaining a safe environment for the students. Moreover, teachers take extra care in ensuring that no student falls short on their potential. With that being said GD Goenka School Lucknow truly provides the best nurturing environment.

After becoming a part of this school in grade 11 and having completed two years since, I have truly been able to realize how far an efficient schooling background can take people.

When I joined this institution as a new student, the one thing that intrigued me the most was the sheer amount of subject options that the school was willing to offer even at the intermediate level. GD Goenka is one of the only schools in Lucknow that realizes this essential pre-requisite in a world with numerous new and emerging professions. This assortment of subjects paired with an excellent pedagogy provides a structured academic curriculum.

A healthy and competitive learning environment is created through the plethora of skill development/enhancing activities organized by the school all-year round. I, personally, have been able to seize the opportunities to represent my house in inter-house and flagship competitions along with the school in inter-school events. I was also a part of the internship program of INAYAT NGO which was facilitated by the school as well. A combination of such initiatives increases the area of exposure for students and encourages them to participate and discover.

The 5-day Bridge Course, which constituted of student interactions with professionals from several fields and walks of life, was, according to me, the most beneficial and rewarding chance for the entire school community to question, learn and grow.

My peer group and the student body as a whole is treated and taught in a way which allows them to maintain autonomy in decision making and organizing events with effective guidance from the teachers. This approach has helped us develop good management skills and become solution-oriented individuals. We have developed a symbiotic relationship with the school through collaboration and action.

The school promotes adherence to rules and regulations and has a firm stand on inculcating discipline within the students. I believe that this school has widened our career and life prospects several-fold, becoming an irreplaceable part of our academic journey and a stepping stone towards success.
