Stories of Growth and
Thriving Partnerships

True education goes beyond textbooks and exams. It’s about shaping our minds, instilling discipline and preparing us to face the world with confidence. At GD Goenka, I’ve come to realize that education is not just about learning facts - it’s about learning how to think critically, act with purpose and grow with every challenge we face.

We, as students are fortunate to be in an institution where we’re encouraged to push our boundaries. It’s not just about excelling academically but mainly about building character. Through various intra and inter-school competitions, MUNs and other co-curricular activities, I’ve learned the value of teamwork, perseverance and the importance of staying focused on the bigger picture. These experiences have taught me that discipline isn’t about following rules for the sake of it; it’s about channeling our energy and effort towards achieving something meaningful.

At GD Goenka each house- Radhakrishnan, Teresa, Tagore and Vivekananda teaches us something unique. Whether it’s striving to lead, serve, conquer or rise and achieve, we are constantly reminded that life is about pushing ourselves and uplifting others.

Being a part of the council body was a life-changing opportunity for me. It’s a chance to not only work towards my personal growth but to help others shine too. The sense of fulfillment that comes from uplifting those around me is something I will always carry with me.

I’m beyond grateful for this institution, which has provided me with the values, strength and discipline to aim higher and shine brighter. GD Goenka isn’t just a school; it’s a place that prepares us for life.

Our school is not just a place of learning but a nurturing ground where every student is encouraged to grow in knowledge, discipline and character. The dedicated teachers guide us patiently, ensuring that we understand our lessons and develop curiosity to learn beyond textbooks. Sometimes, books can be boring, but not in our school because our classrooms have digital boards which allows us to understand the concept more efficiently and easily by playing educational videos on it. With the help of well- equipped laboratories, rich library, spacious classrooms, and focus on sports and co-curricular activities, our school provides all- round development. Our classrooms and buses are fully air conditioned which protect us from scorching heat and ensures that we don’t lose interest in our studies.

For every student our school is sacrosanct but for me it’s more than that. Our school focuses on our confidence building which is very helpful for us in future for interviews, and first time in India, our school is teaching us not only English but American accent. Not only this, but our school is focusing to create an English-speaking environment at home also by teaching the student’s mother English language. Our school has various co- curricular activities like sports (including cricket, basketball, football, athletics, archery, shooting, etc.), music (vocal and instrumental), dance (folk and western) and art and crafts. Our school organizes various competitions and cultural events like inter-house music, dance, exhibitions, etc. We have celebration for specific days like sports day, any festival, teacher’s day and children’s days.
