Curriculum
At the heart of our educational approach is a globally-focused, cohesive, and thematic curriculum. This enables students to explore the world as both autonomous and collaborative researchers, distinguishing us as the premier international school in Hyderabad. We emphasize a comprehensive educational experience grounded in skills, attitudes, concepts, knowledge, and action. The Gaudium provides the IB PYP curriculum for students from Nursery to Grade 5. For Grades 6-10, students can choose between CAIE, IB MYP, and CBSE, while Grades 11-12 have the option of CBSE or IB DP.
Pedagogy
Many conflate pedagogy with curriculum. While curriculum outlines the content to be taught, pedagogy delves into the methods and approaches of teaching—the art and science of education. It’s the nexus between learning methodologies and cultural contexts, shaped by an educator’s convictions about the nature and process of learning. At The Gaudium, our distinctive pedagogical approach sets us apart, cementing our reputation as the top international school in Hyderabad.
Academics
As students transition from the skill-focused elementary levels to the content-driven secondary levels, they encounter increased challenges. These include comprehending textbook information, noting down lecture content, working autonomously, and conveying understanding through written essays and written exams. Distinct from pedagogy, a Learning Strategy aims to optimize both teaching and learning for everyone involved.

What’s the connection between a petting zoo and a school?

Curriculum
Our core curriculum is an international, integrated and thematic programme through which students study their world as independent and interdependent investigators. Ours will be a rigorous educational programme based on skills, attitudes, concepts, knowledge and action. The Gaudium offers IB PYP curriculum from Nursery to Grade 5. It offers a choice between CI, IBMYP & CBSE in Grades 6-10 and CBSE & IBDP from Grades 11-12.
Pedagogy
Pedagogy is often confused with curriculum. The latter defines what is being taught, while pedagogy actually refers to the method in how we teach—the theory and practice of educating. Pedagogy is the relationship between learning techniques and culture, and is determined based on an educator’s beliefs about how learning should, and does, take place. Irrespective of Curriculum, Pedagogy at The Gaudium is unique to say the least!
Academics
As students shift from the skills emphasis of elementary grades to the content emphasis of secondary grades, they face greater demands to read information from textbooks, take notes from lectures, work independently, and express understanding in written compositions and on paper and pencil tests. As opposed to Pegagogy, a Learning Strategy is how to make both – teaching and learning – be extremely effective for all concerned.
