A French–American Online School with an Eastern Soul

LKG to Grade 5 | Fully Online | Global

About G&W International School

G&W International School is a fully online primary school for children from LKG to Grade 5, created for families who believe education should develop emotional intelligence, values, and academic excellence together.

Aligned with the educational vision of GNW Academy, G&W offers a globally relevant French–American curriculum, enriched with Eastern wisdom, ethics, and mindfulness.

Our school serves modern families across India and the world who are seeking a safe, nurturing, values-driven alternative to exam-heavy and pressure-centric schooling.

Our Philosophy – Empathy Before Exams. Values Before Grades.

At G&W, learning begins with emotional safety. Children thrive when they feel respected, understood, and supported—and strong academics naturally follow.

Inspired by Eastern principles such as compassion (karuṇā), non-violence (ahimsa), and reciprocity, and blended with Western inquiry-based education, our approach develops:

  • Empathy and emotional awareness
  • Ethical thinking from an early age
  • Confidence without comparison
  • Curiosity without fear
  • We believe education should build humans first, achievers next.

Who Is This School For

G&W International School is ideal for parents who:

  • Want fully online schooling from home
  • Are exploring homeschooling with structure and guidance
  • Prefer values, wellbeing, and ethics over rote exams
  • Want small class sizes and personal attention
  • Are dissatisfied with pressure-driven traditional schools
  • Want global exposure without losing cultural roots

What Makes G&W Different Empathy-Centered Education

Social-emotional learning is integrated into daily academics. Children learn to understand emotions, resolve conflicts peacefully, and practice kindness and responsibility as part of everyday learning.

Values-Led Learning

Honesty, respect, discipline, and integrity are lived daily—not taught as abstract lessons. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, not failures.

Holistic Health & Wellbeing

We prioritise the whole child through:

  • Nutrition awareness and healthy habits
  • Mindfulness, yoga, and movement breaks
  • Balanced screen usage
  • Alignment with healthy family routines
  • Global Bilingual Curriculum
  • French and English bilingual instruction
  • Exposure to global cultures and traditions
  • International classrooms that build global citizenship

Parents as Partners
