GIIS History

GIIS History

We have come a long way since our inception in 2002.

Back then, GIIS had a small presence at Mount Sophia in Singapore with a strength of just 48 students. In the last 16 years, we have grown to span seven countries with 22 campuses combined in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, UAE, Vietnam and India. 

Today, we are a leading international school in Singapore offering Indian and International curricula to students from diverse backgrounds.

We, at GIIS Singapore, have steadfastly focused on providing an extraordinary education to students from all over the world. In adopting the cultural ideology of “Schools That Learn”, we make each and every member of our community an equal partner in the process of learning. 

We have established ourselves as one of the best private and international school in Singapore by empowering students to take on active roles in their own progress. We uniquely engage them while promoting a culture reinforcing the joy of lifelong learning.

Educational Philosophy

As one of the best Indian and international school in Singapore, our steady focus has been on providing high-quality, values-based education to students at a moderate price. In an effort to continuously better our processes, we have embraced the ideology of 'Schools that Learn' which automatically makes every member of our community an equal partner in the process of learning. 

Through academic, skills-based and values-focused knowledge that we impart on our students, we aim to nurture and mould them into global citizens who are capable of taking up any challenge thrown at them.

Ample opportunities are provided through proper academic exposure, practical demonstrations, as well as mentorship and guidance to cultivate the spirit of entrepreneurship, leadership and teamwork among students, empowering them to take an active role in their own progress and be joyful, lifelong learners.
