International Dimension

The world has become a global village and we can see many changes in every field including education, social economic involvement, the need for peace building between countries and cultures and the need to device methods of inclusive adaptability. Changing for development, for growth, for prosperity and for the greater cause is the need of the hour. Be it national laws, personal security, economy, social welfare or education, change is inevitable and irrevocable.

When we think of educational patterns and their changes and commend global systems of pedagogy that have adjusted as per the requirements of the each new generation. Forcing policy makers to frame new curriculum accordingly.

In order to stay competitive school leaders need to introspect the existing global education platforms and face the challenges of educating young people in today’s ever changing world. SAI has a clear vision and mission to help children understand the growing changes and diversities happening all around them.  We aim to equip our teachers with the tools necessary to help our students develop keen roles and responsibilities in shaping a better World. Global education is the term used to describe a form of education which enables students to think globally, act locally and link their own lives with those of their counterparts in other countries, making well rounded Global Citizens.
