Basically, GSCS follows the curriculum prescribed by the Department of Education.

The teaching and learning process is usually done in the classroom. The pupils are required to
come to school every day and commonly use traditional learning materials such as books,
chalkboard and many others in the process. At times, the instruction is also aided by ICT. The
teachers are encouraged to use new teaching strategies that are constructivist and progressive
in nature. It also aims to maximize the full potential of the students in order for them to be
productive citizens of the country and world at large.
