A world within our walls
At GSB, we don't just talk about the importance of global citizenship; we truly live it every day. Our school serves as a vibrant microcosm of the world, a dynamic place where students from over 23 diverse nations, and who speak over 14 different languages, come together to learn, play, and grow in an inclusive environment. This rich tapestry of cultures not only enhances their education but also fosters a deep understanding and appreciation for one another's backgrounds and experiences.
Where diversity comes alive
Imagine a typical day at GSB:
Lunchtime Conversations: Students share stories about their families' holiday traditions, from Diwali celebrations to Christmas markets. They may have even packed different types of food in their lunchboxes, which then becomes a topic of conversation.
Breaks: Children from different backgrounds teach each other new games, discovering commonalities and celebrating unique cultural expressions.
Classroom Collaborations: Students with different backgrounds work together on projects, learning to appreciate different perspectives and problem-solving approaches.
Beyond textbook learning
This daily immersion in cultural diversity fosters:
Empathy and Understanding: Children develop their curiosity about different cultures and learn to appreciate the richness that diversity brings.
Open-Mindedness: By interacting with people from different backgrounds, students develop a more inclusive worldview and challenge stereotypes.
Communication Skills: Navigating a multicultural environment enhances communication skills, as students learn to interpret varied communication styles and express themselves with sensitivity.
