GIIS students have proved their mettle with strong results in the IB 2010 Diploma exams The outstanding offers of admissions from prestigious universities such as the Royal College of Surgeons, UK, Purdue University, Oxford University, NTU, SP Jain Inst of Management and NUS stand testimony to the academic and allround potential of GIIS students.

To quote Ms Geetanjali Kannan, IB Coordinator, GIIS, “GIIS has successfully prepared and nurtured IB students for the past two years. The growing number of students is a testimony to its flexibility and popularity. Students from other curricula like the CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE and Singapore MOE schools have been integrated and honed by a dedicated and talented pool of experienced IB teachers many of whom are examiners for the IB board. We motivate our students to become critical thinkers with application of knowledge through a practical approach, reflection and introspection. GIIS students have been consistently performing well in the IB Board exams. The comparison of GIIS vis a vis IB world averages clearly reflects this trend.”

With knowledge transfer intensifying year after year, GIIS teachers continue with well-established practices to ensure success for each student in his/her chosen subjects. The counsel and coaching provided by these dedicated teachers remains unparalled as GIIS students rise in their career pursuing graphs with each graduating batch of students.
