Houses
Students of Grades 6 to 12 are sorted into one of four houses. Inter-house competitions are held regularly and the best house is adjudged at the end of the academic year. House prefects who are responsible for house activities are nominated and appointed by the faculty annually in a non-democratized process. The four houses are:
- Fire
- Earth
- Air
- Water
Each house is headed by a teacher known as the 'House Co-ordinator' and two house prefects. The house prefects are also members of the school's Student Council.
Academics
Global Public School is highly academic and is selective (by competitive entrance examination). The students perform modestly for their CBSE examinations, with 61 distinctions secured in the year 2015,[3] as well as their CIE examinations, with Cambridge Outstanding Achievement awards being conferred upon students for securing positions including World Topper in Travel and Tourism and Business Studies, India Toppers in Accounting, Business Studies, Food and Nutrition, Travel and Tourism, Environmental Management and Biology.[1]
