At GIIS: the best primary school in Singapore, we offer the Global Montessori Plus Programme, an award-winning programme that offers a blend of the world renowned Maria Montessori approach to pre-school methodology with the best practices of modern education.
Pioneered by GIIS, this is the only international pre-school curriculum of its kind, and rests on five solid pillars that will give our pre-schoolers a strong foundation in their student life.
Through its targeted programming, the GMP not only fosters development of cognitive, expressive and motor skills, but also induces a sense of social responsibility, cultural awareness and environmental consciousness - all key components of GIIS’ GMP Montessori School's holistic pedagogy in Singapore.
Our GMP stands tall on 5 strong pillars.
Accelerating basic literacy skills with special emphasis on excellence is what our 'Excelerate' Programme is all about. OGIIS is a leading Montessori preschool in Singapore where our emphasis lies in giving students fluency in language through listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, as well as providing numeracy skills through maths in a fun and interesting manner. Our individualistic focus has resulted in our students being fast and eager learners from a young age.
We recognise that every child is different. The Thematic Learning methodology we promote at our international preschool in Singapore, aims to keep the individuality of students in mind along with creating interactive activities for them at school. All these activities are aimed at nurturing the students' inherent personalities as well as helping their intellectual capacities grow in a steady manner. Such a holistic approach helps in the all-round development of our students.
As a Montessori school and international preschool of imminence, at GIIS we promote interactive learning tools. Play is an essential part & parcel of learning at the kindergarten level - for physical, social-emotional and cognitive student development. We create the right environment for our students to interact and learn. We give them the choice of what to play, how to play and whom to play with under thorough learned supervision. This well-thought approach is meant to encourage students to accumulate information and assimilate it which in turn inculcates in them the skills of independence, cooperation and management.
Sensitising our students towards the community and the environment is a major part of our GMP programme at our GIIS preschool in Singapore. Through activities like gardening or charity drives, we teach students the universal values of compassion, kindness and giving. Interaction with community members and participation in bonding activities also help them understand the importance of honesty, punctuality and integrity which are strong character-building foundations for their bright future.

The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have a major economic impact on all industries, which may lead to job losses or loss of income. A timely financial assistance scheme has been designed under the Global Indian International School (“GIIS”) called the Resilience Scholarship (GRS 2020) , to allow students studying in any international school in Singapore cope with the COVID-19 impact.
The Global Schools Foundation has been contributing to the educational needs of students through various programmes and initiatives. Through the Merit-Cum-Means scholarship, GSF plans to extend support through financial assistance, and make education affordable for parents across financial spectrums.The scholarship is aimed for students who are residents of Singapore, including existing parents and student fraternity of GII.

As one of the best preschool for introducing the academic theory of Montessori in Punggol and Cheviot Hill, GIIS has outdone its peers in providing quality education. Our GMP's compelling value proposition lies in its customisation of Maria Montessori's world-renowned teaching methodology. By integrating the original theory with contemporary research and insights, we have infused the fundamentals of formal learning with the latest innovative learning tools in our GMP Curriculum. Our methodology offers unique and unprecedented growth and development opportunities for our students.
Our qualified teachers have a passion for teaching and learning and are handpicked for every class. Of the many important criteria that we look for in our teachers, excellence in teaching remains foremost.
The GMP programme, at the best primary and preschool in Singapore, is a stepping stone that helps a student make seamless transition into Grade 1. Our individualistic focus has resulted in our students being fast and eager learners from a young age.
This ensures that the students are well prepared to face newer challenges as they grow. Skills required for Grade 1 like reading, writing and numeracy are provided to students in Kindergarten 2 to ensure that primary curriculum is not overwhelming for students.
