About Us

Global Vision. Traditional Values.

From a single Kochi campus in 2005 to a family of institutions — a community where every child is encouraged to explore, question, create and grow.

A community where every child can breathe, explore and grow.

Founded in 2005 under the aegis of the Global Education Trust was established with a clear vision — to provide an education that blends global vision with traditional values. From its beginnings in Kochi, GPS has grown into a family of institutions offering CBSE, Cambridge, IB and Kindergarten programmes, united by a shared commitment to academic excellence, innovation and holistic development.

In a world where childhood is becoming increasingly fast-paced, we offer something that is slowly being lost — space to breathe, exceptional teachers who know every child, and a world-class education within reach. Guided by passionate educators and globally benchmarked teaching practices, our students develop not only academic excellence but also creativity, resilience, leadership and compassion.
