What it is ?

SBIS global Connect is a global exposure program designed especially for students of SBIS, to learn from teachers all over the globe. It aims at bringing International Curriculum to doorsteps , providing children an opportunity to learn and interact with friends and students of similar age groups all over the globe.

Why a Global Connect Program?

Even a Sage as big , serene, simple and sober as Vivekananda had to visit overseas and mark his presence with his virtues , to prove , and cement his thoughts in front of the whole world. It was his global tour that provided respect to Indian culture and values. In the times of Internet where each and every country is just a call apart , such an opportunity is surely a blessing in disguise. Global Exposure and global level interaction provide our kids with an opportunity to know about various cultures and share their own values with others, thus breaking stereotypes.

Aim of the Program:

Develop communication level in students

Develop confidence in using English as a Second language

Developing global aptitude.

Cultural exchange Amongst countries

Knowledge Exchange

Creating opportunities for students globally in future.

Providing International level of learning.

How we do that?

The project can vary from a week to a month or a year , depending on the country and the school. A common topic is picked up between schools, children perform their research work with the help of a guide teacher, simultaneously they interact with the partner school on fixed date and time, depending upon the time zones, this gives them a chance to discuss the effect of the same topic at different geographical locations.
