From Kindergarten to Senior High School, GIS offers a premier learning environment that is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and the Council of International Schools.

The GIS Kindergarten academic program is based on The Creative Curriculum for preschool, a comprehensive early childhood education system that has been proven to enhance children's cognitive, physical, social/emotional, and language development.

The GIS Junior High School curriculum emphasizes research-based teaching and learning practices through age-appropriate intellectual, physical, cultural and social experiences. There are a variety of classes and opportunities for students that introduce them to new areas of learning where they can begin to develop interests.

Like GIS as a whole, the GIS Primary School curriculum adopts programs which demonstrate the best international standards, practices and results for student learning. We place strong emphasis on language arts and mathematics. To ensure a balanced curriculum, we provide programs in science and technology, social studies, modern language, fine arts and physical development.

Based on international standards, the GIS Senior High School academic program is designed to prepare students for a university that fits them best. It includes options to take the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP) diploma/courses. The more options students have to find the right path for them, the more success they will have now and in the future.
