Back in 2014, when the foundation stone of Global Indian International School (GIIS) Ahmedabad was laid, with it were also laid great aspirations and hopes to inspire its students to discover opportunities, achieve academic excellence and emerge winners in every life situation. With students at the centre, the school aimed to not only help its students touch academic milestones but also provide holistic learning that focuses on all aspects of a child’s personality through its 9 Gems learning framework. Three years on, GIIS Ahmedabad is proud to witness transformations in its students who are culminating into young, dynamic and confident ladies and gentlemen, every day.
GIIS Leadership Lecture Series (LLS) is another element of the carefully crafted curriculum besides curriculum enhancers the Chandu Borde Global Cricket Academy (CBGCA) mentored by the legendary cricketer Mr. Chandu Borde, Global Student Exchange (GSE) program which includes project-based learning and Mahatma Gandhi Centre for Universal Values (MGCUV).
Under the LLS, eminent personalities from varied fields like arts, entertainment, music, science, philanthropists, economics and politics are invited to visit the GIIS campuses to inspire, teach and guide students. Since 2014, GIIS Ahmedabad has witnessed the presence of many eminent visitors to the campus who mingled with the students and gave some words of wisdom to be cherished forever. “The feeling to meet the people we admire, idolise and aspire to be like, is beyond comparison. Cricketers, actors, philosophers, etc. have been to our campus and mingled with us and shared their success stories which are engraved in our minds forever. And, this inspires us to ignore hurdles and hardships and just work towards our goals,” said a bunch of students.
