HOMEWORK POLICY

The Homework Policy at Gurugram Global Heights School, Dwarka Expressway is designed to support meaningful, age-appropriate learning beyond the classroom. Rooted in the principles of NEP 2020, the policy emphasizes conceptual understanding, creativity, and independent thinking while promoting student well-being.
