Pathways World School, the first full International Baccalaureate (IB) School of North India, organised a seminar to disseminate information in details about the school on April 26. The school is dedicated to promote international standards of education alongside traditional Indian values. At the seminar, an interactive session with prospective students and their parents was also organised. The principal, faculty and governing board members of Pathways conducted the seminar. The International Baccalaureate diploma is acceptable for higher studies in over 115 countries around the world and students are offered direct admission. Officials from Pathways World School explained the salient features of the IB curriculum and its growing relevance for students in terms of preparing them for educational opportunities available worldwide. The school supports both the full diploma of Geneva, Switzerland and the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGSCE) from Cambridge, England. Prabhat Jain, director, Pathways World School, said, “We are happy that parents and prospective students have shown keen interest to join Pathways. I am gratified to have established a reputation for the international quality of our teaching methods within a very short period. And our endeavours will always be to make Pathways boarding a home away from home.” The school is located near New Delhi in India and attracts students from all over the world for the quality of the education it imparts. The school has an outstanding and committed faculty from around the globe. With approximately 1,200 students from Nursery to grade 12 Pathways offers the flexibility of day, weekly, fortnightly and term boarding.

The school boasts of all facilities that are commensurate with its status as a true international school. Pathways practices the ‘Theory of Multiple Intelligences’ and ‘Student Centred Learning’. Other key themes adopted Pathways are: learning-by-doing, learning-how-to-learn, anytime-anywhere-learning, skills-based-learning and life-long-learning. Lalage Prabhu, principal, Pathways World School, shared, “More and more parents and students from the region are prepared to go the distance to receive quality education and our attempt here is to answer as many of their questions as possible in person.” With the growing demand for higher studies abroad, the school aims at providing world-class international education while preserving traditional values. Prabhu said, “The Pathways blend of tradition and internationalism is very appropriate for the global citizen of tomorrow. We are gratified by the response from parents and students because it underlines the relevance of our approach to education.”
