Teaching and Learning at GM Legacy School

At GM Legacy School, teaching and learning are guided by the belief that every child can learn and succeed when provided with the right environment, guidance, and opportunities.

Our teaching–learning processes are designed to make education meaningful, joyful, engaging, and effective, while preparing students for academic excellence, life skills, and responsible citizenship.

Our Teaching Philosophy

Our teaching philosophy is based on the following principles:

Learner-Centred Education – The child is at the centre of the learning process.

Active Learning – Students learn best by doing, questioning, and reflecting.

Holistic Development – Equal importance to academics, skills, values, arts, and sports.

Inclusivity – Every learner is supported according to individual needs.

Continuous Improvement – Teaching practices are reviewed and refined regularly.
