We immerse our students in Urdu and English language to ensure they become bilingual, bi-literate and culturally-competent global citizens who are inspired to look beyond themselves and work towards a more peaceful world.
We believe in the importance of both academic as well as socio emotional success. We strive for our students to be compassionate problem solvers by exposing them to restorative practices in the face of conflicts.
We work in partnership with our families and community stakeholders to ensure GHS continues to represent the diversity of Karachi. We equally value the voice of each of these partners and aim to work hand-in-hand towards each student’s full potential.
We value excellence in everything we strive to do - be it in academics, character building, athletics or leadership. We stress the value of effort and the rewards that come with hard work.
We strive to teach a life-long love of learning through an environment that fosters natural curiosity, wonder, creativity, and engaged learning.
We teach explicitly, by example, an appreciation of racial, ethnic and cultural diversity.
Social responsibility encompasses compassion for others, responsibility for working on solutions to the problems of our immediate community and of the larger national and international community. Our students should understand the opportunities they have been given by their parents, their community and their school, and that there is an expectation that they will respond by leading socially useful and purposeful lives.
We use every opportunity to stress equality among races, ethnic groups, and social classes. Children may absorb negative values from the surrounding culture. Much of teaching needs to be by example and through practice.
We encourage our students to develop a caring and respectful attitude toward children and adults in their community. We live in a culture that stresses individual self-fulfillment, sometimes at the expense of others. Perceiving the needs and caring about the welfare of others is fundamental to becoming a mature person.
Students should begin to define their own values as part of a developing sense of personal identity. They should be able to be honest about their convictions and have the courage to defend them. We strive to provide opportunities for students to test and expand their ethical awareness.
It is important for children to understand the complex interrelatedness of people and the environment. We encourage our students to take responsibility for their own immediate environment and for advocating preservation and protection of the natural world.
Respecting the value of the present is one way of preparing for a healthy and productive future. At GHS, students learn that education is not only preparation for life; it is life. The day a child spends now in school is as valuable as what will come later. Above all else, a school should be a good place for people to be. It should exemplify qualities of human interaction that we would wish for people everywhere. School should be a place one looks forward to going to in the morning and is somewhat reluctant to leave at the end of the day. The school as a center for learning should have things going on weekends involving parents and people from the community as well as students and faculty.
