As a school, Glendale Academy International believes in and practices "Multiple Intelligences". We took inspiration from the hugely successful Aamir Khan starrer, "Taare Zameen Par" in the academic year 2007-08 and launched "Satrang", an art festival. The school has had a terrific response from the students and their creative expression has superbly authenticated the films tagline, "Every child is special". |
