Dear Parents and Students,
A very warm welcome to you.
At GIIS, we create an inclusive environment, inside and outside the classroom, where students can explore their strengths, nurture their passions and achieve their highest potential.
Our technology-driven SMART Campus enables collaborative and research-led learning for students. We have over 40 skill-based labs and studios, digital classrooms, collaborative learning spaces and well-designed areas for sports, performing and visual arts, language learning, music, culinary arts and more.
We take a balanced approach to developing students through our 9GEMS educational framework, which encourages excellence in 9 different areas. We’ve also been working on instilling R.I.S.E among students - R.I.S.E stands for respect, integrity, skills and empathy - very important universal values to be truly global citizens and leaders of tomorrow. We reiterate these values for every new student, teacher or parent who joins us.
For the last 20 years, our students have made us proud with their hard work, enthusiasm and many accomplishments, along with the dedicated support of our teachers. That’s why our students go on to excel at top universities around the world and in the future paths they choose.
Our website will give you an overview of the school but we recommend that you visit us in person to learn more about our educational approach, values and world-class facilities. Your child is always at the centre of the learning experience here at GIIS and our educators prepare them to face the future confidently.
We look forward to meeting you and having you join us on an incredible learning journey.
With best wishes,
Ms. Melissa Maria
Senior Principal, GIIS SMART Campus
Spread over 10 acres (3.5 hectares) of land, the SMART Campus is a tech-savvy premises which has a student capacity of more than 4,000. Designed by US and Japanese architects with ideas from our teachers, this is a state-of-the-art school which bases its pedagogy on 21st century learning. This school of the future is designed for imparting skill-based learning to make students expand their horizons and develop into well-rounded global leaders of tomorrow.
Our teachers are our best assets. Ask our students and they will tell you how much influence their teachers have had on them. Many of our teachers are holders of masters degrees and higher doctoral degrees, and some of them have been with us since the day the school began operations 20 years ago. Through subject expertise, constant upgrading of knowledge and moving ahead of the curve, our teachers have made a big impact on students - on their personal lives and professional profiles, by being mentors, guiding lights and pillars of strength and encouragement.
Our students benefit from a uniquely student-centric environment which is equipped to prepare them for the four C's of 21st century learning (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking). Our digital classrooms are spaces without borders or horizons, our skills studios are well-equipped labs for experimentation and creativity. We have brought technology into sports - both indoor and outdoor - to give students an extra edge in their quest for excellence.
The SMART Campus at Punggol combines modern teaching methodologies and innovative technologies to allow students to expand their learning into competencies beyond the curriculum.
We believe we strike a good balance in providing a holistic education to students, through our 9 GEMS educational framework. This ensures excellence in education, in sports, in imparting universal values and developing the personality and character of our students.
This is essential in the modern world as skill-based education is a prerequisite in job markets. A well-rounded student will excel in our increasingly complex and globalised world.
