Collaborations & Associations: Partnering with Institutions of Global Repute


Globalization has ruled the roost since the beginning of cultures. From an exchange of commodities and cuisines to intermixing of languages and scientific knowledge, the world has thrived on a give-and-take relationship. In such a scenario, how can the realm of education be left behind?

At Genesis Global School, often claimed to be the best school in Noida, the focus has always been on internationalism and education beyond borders. This is why we have so many collaborations and associations with globally reputed institutions and organizations which enable our scholars to experience learning like never before.

Genesis is already a CIS- member school (Council of International Schools) as CIS believes in providing students with knowledge, skills and abilities to pursue their lives as global citizens. Here are some of the most notable partnerships we have forged since our establishment:

AFS

Genesis Global School is also a member of AFS which enables us to send scholars abroad, host global participants, interact with other AFS Member schools, community service programmes, and intercultural learning for scholars and mentors.

Clifton College

Clifton College is one of the oldest schools in England, and Genesis has a tie-up with them for student and teacher exchanges, and curriculum and pedagogy development.

Round Square

With Round Square membership, Genesis can partake in conferences around the world where the philosophy of educational expert Dr. Kurt Hahn is propagated. The school’s six ideals on environment, internationalism, leadership, service, democracy, and adventure are based on this very philosophy.

IPSC

Being the youngest ever member of IPSC (Indian Public Schools Conference), Genesis is able to encourage excellence and participation in national level co-curricular, sporting and academic activities.

Middlesex University

In order to possibly enrol students to courses at the University in London’s campuses, Genesis has an MoU for Progression of Prospective Students to Middlesex University after passing Grade 12. This is a great collaboration which serves to fulfil our scholar’s ambitions of higher studies abroad.

Schloss Neubeuern

Since 2014, Genesis Global School has had a special partnership with Schloss Neubeuern, a reputed boarding school in Germany. There is a plan in place for the two schools to carry out exchange programmes on various themes annually so that scholars get to embrace new cultures and ways of education.

Ermitage
As is the case with other schools, Genesis Global School has a strong student, faculty and cultural exchange programme with Ermitage, a highly rated French school located just outside Paris.

GSD Spain

Gredos San Diego has an MoU with Genesis for exchange and interaction of mentors, scholars and best practices, as well as development of the Spanish Language Programme and football camps in Madrid, Spain.

Microsoft

Microsoft is one of the leaders in developing educational computer tools, which is why Genesis has an integral liaison with them as the chief showcase school. This collaboration has allowed us to teach scholars to get hands on with technology from an early age, thanks to the use of SWAY, ONENOTE and Office Mix, and homework through O365 mail.
