The IB Primary Years Programme is recognized worldwide as a remarkable curriculum for the complete development of students. For an international school like GIIS who wants to nurture global citizens, offering PYP resonates with their philosophy of offering an education that helps develop the student as an inquirer and critical thinker.
PYP is a curriculum framework which believes that students are agents of their own learning, and they need to be equal partners in the entire learning process. This premise allows them to take ownership of their learning, learn collaboration and communication, and enhance their confidence due to deeper understanding of topics, in a stress-free manner.
IB primary schools follow approaches that encourage student learners who have the potential to wonder, question, inquire and theorize - about themselves and the world around them. Learners create their own learning needs through an inquiry-based approach to education, which is transcends disciplines through concept-based models of teaching and learning. Learners are encouraged to demonstrate imaginative minds, and agile traits to respond to challenges and opportunities for the betterment of themselves and the world.
At the end of five years, the learners celebrate their achievements through exhibitions which helps them share their learnings and understandings with the larger community.
Teaching and learning complement each other in the PYP approach, where engaging and relevant material meets challenging and significant inquirers. This collaboration develops knowledgeable, and caring students who have an intercultural understanding and respect for the world and multidimensional world view.
Subjects are taught in a transdisciplinary manner, guided by subject areas like ‘who we are, ‘where we are, ‘how we express ourselves’, and more. This powerful approach helps students learn to appreciate knowledge, understand concepts and connect them to skills and personal attributes.
The unique and well-designed projects and assignments encourage students to work in collaboration and share information to enhance the knowledge and skills. The IB PYP curriculum fosters a joyful and enthusiastic environment that encourages students to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners.

GIIS has a unique methodology to check the academic and non-academic progress of our students. We have devised methods and installed platforms which give us raw data on students’ performances inside and outside the classroom.
Data Analytics in academics at GIIS is called the 7S method, in which teachers and coordinators gather stats on a student’s marks in seven different areas of development. This includes school, segment, section, subject, subject-teacher, student and summary. Data Analytics in Sports is called SPEDAS, where devices on playgrounds and on the student’s person, capture on-field movement which is converted to data.
Both data are then studied by the teacher to determine progress of the student in all areas of development, and an assessment is done which helps students understand their strengths and weaknesses.
With 40+ skills-based studios, digital classrooms and well-designed Learning Commons and Student Innovation Rooms, the GIIS SMART Campus stands out as an exemplary premises where IB Diploma students can gain maximum benefits in their learning journey. Technology adds sheen to our educational offerings, while our award-winning holistic framework called 9GEMS adds to the depth of learning students experience during their two year programme
