“Education is not the learning of the facts, but the training of the mind to think.”- Albert Einstein
We believe that every child has his/her own natural gifts and talents, which we strive to enable each one of them to explore and develop his/her potential. Based on this fundamental principle and in light of the ever-changing world, we offer education in a safe, secular and 21 st Century environment.
My experience of working for more than a decade as a Primary/Middle School teacher and Coordinator in designing school curriculum, majoring student’s achievements and promoting an effective teaching method will play an even more vital role in creating learning environments that reinforce the view that students can master academic subjects. We believe in empowering our children in such a way that they act as representatives of a meaningful and value-based society! Our pedagogy which is holistic and comprehensive, complements this.
“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow”.

I strongly believe that education is a collaborative effort that involves professional
administrators, committed teachers and motivated students. We dedicate ourselves as professional administrators in creating a dynamic education programme empowering the students in a global perspective. As a Graduate teacher and an Academic Coordinator, I have enjoyed working in reputed schools over a decade. We are a group of diverse experiences and outlooks, committed to excellence in preparing learners for enriched opportunities worldwide. This holistic synthesis, we believe, is what the GIIS stands for and It is to this inspiring tradition of education that I consider myself privileged to belong. In short, learning at GIIS is a wholesome package of attitude, challenge and opportunity.
