Principal’s Message

Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,

As the Principal of Global Academy for Learning, I RUPA KARUNAKAR am proud to give you a glimpse of our school, where Innovation meets tradition and the future is within our students’ reach. As we move forward, we are committed to creating a secure, nurturing environment where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our vision is to build a vibrant community where every student finds a second home, filled with discovery, meaningful connections, and growth.

At GAFL, we are proud to lead the integration of social and emotional learning (SEL) into our educational framework. Our mission extends beyond academic excellence, ensuring that our students develop essential life skills that equip them to face life’s challenges with confidence, compassion, and resilience. We believe that education is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about cultivating self-awareness, empathy, and social responsibility.

Our holistic approach to education is seamlessly woven into the curriculum. We focus on nurturing self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship-building, and responsible decision-making. This comprehensive approach helps students balance academics with emotional well-being, preparing them to lead meaningful and balanced lives. Our skilled counsellors and staff provide personalized guidance through one-on-one sessions and group workshops, ensuring that every child feels valued and understood in a supportive environment.

To further enrich our students’ learning experiences, we offer several unique programs.
Our Leader in Me initiative builds self-confidence and leadership skills, empowering students to navigate the world with resilience.

Through School Cinema, students learn moral, social, and emotional values by engaging with thought-provoking films.

Our cutting-edge Tata Edge classrooms and interactive boards enhance the learning experience, captivating young minds with stimulating content.

The Class Saathi quiz platform promotes competitive learning and academic excellence through interactive quizzes, while … the Benesse Program, a Japanese assessment tool, helps identify and address learning gaps through personalized sessions.

Furthermore, our partnership with Transform Happily, Counseling ensures emotional well-being through regular counseling sessions that prioritize both students’ and staff’s mental health.

Mindfulness and well-being are integral to our routine. Regular sessions help students focus, reduce stress, and stay emotionally grounded. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion creates a respectful school culture, while active family and community engagement strengthen the support network for our students. We also empower students through leadership programs and peer support groups, encouraging them to make a positive impact in their communities.

At GAFL, we are not only shaping scholars but cultivating a new generation of leaders who embody empathy, respect, and responsibility. We celebrate students’ social and emotional growth, reinforcing the importance of these skills in their overall development. By prioritizing happiness, health, and safety, we guide our learners to become lifelong scholars who value persistence and fairness.

In conclusion, the Global Academy for Learning is more than just an academic institution. We embrace, engage, and empower every learner, preparing them not only for academic success but for life as compassionate, resilient leaders. Our students are ready to face tomorrow’s challenges and make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world.

Sincerely,
Rupa Karunakar
