Pre-Elementary Department

AGS believes in the learners who are precious natural resources, Christian citizens and builders of the future. These learners have natural, unique and innate multi-faceted intelligences which need to be discovered and developed.
AGS further believes in the moral development of the learners together with the skills in leadership, fellowship, decision making and pro-social behavior necessary to produce good and productive contributors of the society.
Specifically, and as embodied by the national goals and the philosophy and vision of AGS, the school academic community endeavors to develop these competences among the pupils:






      • Mastery of communication skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing required for each level
      • Rational thinking: being able to express one’s thoughts clearly and listen with understanding
      • Functional literacy
      • Utilization of multiple intelligences to become lifelong learners
      • A healthy self-concept
      • Manifestation of the core values
      • Appreciation of literature, art, music, nature,
      • Patriotism and love of country

AGS therefore puts emphasis on the children as future adults, and in recognition of their innate qualities and aptitude early on, integrates values and virtues for moral development that reinforce responsibility and social concern.

Core Values

These values are the identifiable characteristics or marks which distinguish an AGS pupil form the rest and which the school develops in the learners as early as pre school years.

      • Love of God and spiritual dynamism
      • Commitment and responsibility
      • Humility and respect
