GEAR has partnered with several organisations to help enrich the learning experience of all the GEAR cubs. These programs do not replace the regular curriculum and methods of teaching, but act as an enhancement to what is being taught.

Math App (Grade 3 to Grade 9): Math combines smart technology with the personalized attention with appropriate recomendations for better conceptual understanding. Mindspark is a cloud-based platform that aids in the study of mathematics by self-learning with a curriculum integrated database. It helps the Cubs improve his/her skills in Maths. It allows each student to follow a learning path that is based on their needs.
Smart Class (Grade 4-12): All classrooms are equipped with Smart boards, so these Smart classes have access to a large and extensive database of digital content.

The Syllabus also provides a Global Music component that exposes children to different styles of music from around the world including Western Classical music, African music, Flamenco and Jazz.
