Cambridge - IGCSE

GIIS has been a Cambridge international secondary school for more than a decade, offering the International General Certificate Secondary Education for students in the age group of 14 to 16 years. These two years give students a taste of life in high school. They have the flexibility to choose their subjects, determine their style of learning and follow through this path to success.

Bridge Programme

We believe in accommodating the needs of expatriate students, which is why we keep the flexibility of getting admission in the secondary school throughout the year. For students, who join in the middle of an academic year, we ensure not just seamless experience but also seamless assimilation in the learning process. 

Through the Bridge Programme, we assist students to catch up with their peers in academic and other school activities. Our teachers make a consolidated effort to help new students gel into the new environment by providing academic support through project notes, extra effort through teaching, and offline support when required. This helps students to get comfortable in the new learning environment, catch up with the rest of the class and build a friendship bond with other classmates.
