GEAR Innovative International School was founded in 1995 by Dr. M. Srinivasan, under the umbrella of GEAR Foundation. The school follows a research-based curriculum and project-based learning, accredited by LWF-UNESCO. Dr. Srinivasan established the school with the philosophy to bring out the innate potential of every child by creating an enjoyable learning process. The school's unique approach is based on Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI), which considers that every individual possesses eight different types of intelligences, and aims to address the individuality in each child. The school's motto, "Dream, Dare and Do," encourages children to develop into creative and independent thinkers and leaders of tomorrow.
