Greenfield Chennai International School believes that small class sizes with a low student to teacher ratio are actually logical extensions of the educational philosophy.

At Greenfield Chennai International School Student-teacher ratio is important for a number of reasons.

1. It is used as a tool to measure teacher workload as well as the allocation of resources and the efficacy of teaching.
2. It is an indicator of the amount of individual attention and the amount of time a teacher will be able to spend with individual students.
3. Improving the academic performance of the children. The more individual attention a student receives, then, the more his learning improves and the higher his chances for academic success become.
4. The most impactful aspect of teaching is observation. When a teacher had fewer students to observe then smaller things can be quickly picked up on and correction could be carried out.
