The curriculum includes the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programme of the International Baccalaureate Organisation of Geneva. Pathways World School was the first IB Continuum School in North India and the first residential school in the region to follow the IB curriculum.
The school applies the Multiple Intelligences approach, developed by Dr. Howard Gardner from Harvard University. The campus is situated in 32 acres of land on an elevated, wooded site along the majestic foothills of the Aravali Hills. This not only ensures a tranquil environment away from the rush and din of city life, but also offers a magnificent scenic panorama across the hills. Despite its unique location, the school is only 35 kilometers from the Delhi International Airport and falls within the NCR.
The school offers both day and boarding options for students while providing flexibility in the boarding options with choices among week, fortnight and term boarding. The current student strength of the school is approximately 1400 with representation from over 40 nations.

The school was also the recipient of the ‘Designshare Award’ from New York, the USA in 2003 for its aesthetic and purposeful infrastructure design and the ‘Best IT User Award”in the education category in the country’ from NASSCOM in 2004. In the year 2007, the school was rated among the five best architectural works in Delhi and NCR. In the year 2010, the school earned the honour of becoming a global member of Round Square and is also a member of the Council of International Schools (CIS).
Pathways have created a benchmark in the purposeful use of technology in school education with universal radio networking and the use of interactive whiteboards & projection screens to integrate information communication technology (ICT) with classroom learning.
Residential facilities are based on the model of a first-class British independent boarding school with professional staffing, comfortable study-bedrooms & common rooms, and catering of international standards.
The school is a certified centre for SAT exams.

I am Akshit Srivastava and I was in Pathways World School Aravalli in Grade 11 from the year 2020-2021 . I would gave my sincere and honest feedback. I started my journey in Pathways with a lot of expectations of high degree in future somewhere overall development and the growth . But It was my most regretting decision where it is still with me . It all happened as in one year there are two semesters. In semester 1 everything was good just a side issues which keeps happening and going . And just from a CBSE to an IB background I was able and was yet in understanding the concepts. Although still was going good . But from the second semester the most disastrous things had happened with me actually I was trapped by a teacher in pathways regarding social media chatting and violation of school rules as being misguided for boarders to reach in campus where the areas boarders were not allowed but he insisted me only which he left the school forever . I was given a wrong way of special attention like discussing about me in class negative things which I felt bad after trusting him so much when I questioned him he denied that he didn’t says.Anyways I then thought to leave it but after that social media chatting gone wrong of beyond teacher student type of friendships and love jokes. Although I contributed in hiding which I had admitted it’s wrong but then in the second semester ……………. But when it was exposed I just wrote my emotions to school and after that only my life became hell. I was constantly being criticised especially by saurav sinha sir dean of residence ,saikat sengupta sir amazon hostel supervisor ,Nihal sir counsellor and senior school principle Manjula shenoi maam . I could not even properly breathe even for a second I was misguided by one teacher with all this . And then when I got some good topper friends these people only senior school principle Manjula maam ,Nihal sir ,Saurav sir and Saikat sir stopped me in talking to them as they were trying to help me socially and academically . But it was their bad eye that were not allowing me to attend. School only just they were saying that we would let you know when to come but weeks had passed and no response then my classes were missing and I only need to come but after that they had made that of my low grades one or two instead in the beginning of the session they said that incase my marks are not equivalent to diploma programme I would be moved towards course programme. But then they said to expel me from school and in the mid way it’s common that no school would take and as a result my entire career got ruined . I got a mental breakdown by this even director maam Sonya Mehta maam didn’t support Me at all and supported them instead. By writing emails expressing my opinions and mindset they were telling me to stop making fun of me that I don’t know that level English and academics and also then showing their egoism . I was just left in a helpless situation after that they said as only academics then they said only behaviour and overall was very confusing to me on their repetitive denials to help me and saying that they were not interested to listen to me . And after that I finally 2nd semester ended although my grades due to them which I became mentally affected and saying studying for me is of no use and when I ask them why they said they didn’t say it later on. Finally one known school Vivekananda accepted me And then my academic was good back to normal and I had scored 88 percent in CBSE board . I am saying for emotionally weak children and need of social support pathways is not for them they deserve something better than that . For academically and emotionally strong children pathways is for them . That was for day boarders but for boarders you can’t manage . I swear this is my honest experience in pathways the trauma of that Is still with me . Now saikat sengupta sir and saurav sinha sir are in barrow school harrow I bangalore . These ones ! Thankyou !

Pathways Aravali was an amazing school and it taught me a lot, but if I am being honest, it teaches more than education at its school. It teaches people how to use each other, it teaches how to bully, it teaches how to not be able to survive into the real world. It is like any other institute and it still affects me mentally after 7 years. Pathways Aravali is a business and is more focused on making robots rather than human beings. If you look at it from outside, it looks amazing, but the more you get to know, the deeper you fall into the pit, not being able to get out, no matter how hard you try. It stays with you for the rest of your life, making you suffer and regret every decision of your life from the minute you step into their school. I am not staying Pathways Aravali is bad, I am just saying that it will stay with you no matter how far way you try to get from it even after 20 or 30 years, it will stay with you and affect you.

My child has been going to Pathways for 4 years now and it truly was the best decision to admit her in this institution. The school is nestled in greenery. Away from the pollution, it gives a great environment for the kids to not only study but engage in all kids of physical activities. The teachers are very kind and accessible. Their keen observation regarding each child is very precise. The school gives equal weight to extra curricular activity like dance and art, which enables the child to focus on all areas of development. During the pandemic, the world might have stopped, but learning for the kids did not. They very quickly took the online mode, ensuring that the kids have to feel normal even in these uncertain times.

It is away from the hustle bustle and pollution of the city and has a beautiful green campus.

Pathways World Shool, Aravali, is the best progressive school in its true sense. This is one place where every child, as well as the staff member, feels nurtured and well taken care of. The prime focus is on providing students enough opportunities to learn at their own level by questioning the existence of the world around them. Teachers wear multiple hats to support and scaffold students’ learning at various levels, as facilitators, mentors, and coaches. Emphasis is on the development of conceptual understanding which is contextual as well and therefore, students find a deeper meaning and connection between their classroom learning and the application of the learned concepts in the outside world. I cherish my journey with the school so far and wish to continue in times to come, both as a parent and as a facilitator.

We have been associated with pathways for over 6 years now and it’s been a fantastic journey so far. Very professionally run and the confidence, curiosity, clarity of concepts and freedom of expression that the school has instilled in our children is really commendable. Apart from the IB curriculum this has also got to do with the quality of the teachers and small section sizes which allows a lot more personalised attention.

PWS Aravali has been the best school I have worked till now! Apart from the campus, the management is welcoming and regard their employee with respect and dignity. PWS had been very considerate to all its employees during the COVID times and they provided the best facilities possible to everybody without a pay-cut.The institution genuinely cares for the development of all its students and the management is very co--operative in the over all development of student and teacher fraternity. The management walks the talk and in my opinion, they do listen to the parent community in taking crucial decisions. There has been lots of times where we teachers were also asked opinions about the happenings in the school! They try their level best to keep the system transparent.
