Community School

Education is a fundamental human right and an essential tool for the exercise of all other rights. The “CGS Community School” hopes to address this very human right by establishing a free education scheme for the children of deprived and socially marginalized families. The school, equipped with all the modern facilities, aims to promote individual empowerment, alleviate poverty and to foster ideal citizens.

About Community School

CGS Community School is the first community school in the country, dedicated to providing quality education to underprivileged children. Our unique model allows students to access the same facilities, classrooms and resources as other CGS students during evening classes. We offer a modern, safe campus and provide trained, compassionate teachers who foster both academic and emotional growth. We ensure every child has the resources to succeed by providing free books, drawing materials, uniforms and healthy meals. To support families, we offer Ramadan packs and Eid Rations, helping them celebrate these special occasions. Through this holistic approach, we empower children to achieve brighter futures.

Extra-Curricular Activities

We place great importance on this area of our student’s ‘life education’ as it builds skills and competences including interacting with peers, team dynamics, sharing, leadership and camaraderie. 

Extra Curricular Activities or ‘ECAs’ as they are called are mandatory for Classes 1 to 7, while participation in the Duke of Edinburgh’s (DOE) Award Scheme is compulsory for Classes 8 to 10 and incorporated into the school time-table. A wide range of activities are offered each year. They take place outside normal school hours and students are given a choice of activities from which they must choose one or two. Every activity will not be offered to all classes. This chosen activity is subject to normal attendance criteria and attendance below 80% will constitute a failing grade. The mark achieved is included in assessment marks on the report card and the final result of the student. In case of absenteeism, the parent must notify the school office or else the student risks getting a ‘0’ for that day’s missed ECA.

The following extra curricular activities are offered:-

• Basketball club
