How to Prepare Your Child for LGIS School Entrance 2026

At LGIS, we believe that education is not simply the acquisition of knowledge—it is the cultivation of curiosity, character, and confidence. Preparing your child for the LGIS School Entrance 2026 should be a journey filled with discovery, shared learning, and joy.

Our goal is not to test children but to understand their readiness—their grasp of basic concepts, their ability to express themselves, and their willingness to learn.

This guide outlines the academic focus (based on and slightly above the ICSE curriculum standard), along with the ethical and emotional development we encourage. It is written to help parents prepare their children for both the academic and value-based expectations of LGIS.

The LGIS Philosophy: Learning with Values and Vision

At LGIS, education goes beyond textbooks. It is a partnership between teachers, parents, and students—grounded in ethics, respect, and lifelong learning.

Our teachers nurture curiosity and confidence, guiding children to think independently, communicate clearly, and act responsibly. We encourage every student to respect teachers and classmates, show gratitude toward all who support them, and take pride in ethical conduct.

We believe that knowledge has meaning only when combined with character. That is why, at LGIS, we focus on both—academic excellence and ethical growth.

The Syllabus and Preparation Guidelines

The LGIS entrance interaction and assessment are aligned with the ICSE curriculum, but we encourage slightly higher conceptual understanding and communication skills to ensure children transition smoothly into our academic environment.

Ethics, Respect, and Character: The Core of LGIS Education

At LGIS, we believe that knowledge without ethics is incomplete. While academic excellence is important, our greatest focus is on helping children grow into honest, respectful, and compassionate individuals.

We guide children to:

Speak respectfully to teachers, elders, and peers.
Show gratitude to school staff and helpers.
Display kindness, fairness, and teamwork.
Take responsibility for their actions and words.

Parents can reinforce these values at home by modeling politeness and appreciation. Children who learn to value respect develop humility and grace—qualities that make them lifelong learners and good citizens.

The Importance of Handwriting and Presentation

Good handwriting reflects focus, effort, and self-discipline. Encourage your child to:
Write slowly and neatly, maintaining consistent size and spacing.
Use correct punctuation and capitalization.
Keep notebooks clean and organized.
Take pride in presentation — it builds confidence and a love for learning.

At LGIS, children are appreciated not only for correct answers but also for neat, careful, and thoughtful work.
