GIIS PRIMARY PROGRAMME
A Unique Learning Environment
The Primary Programme at GIIS is a three-pronged approach designed to ensure all-round development of a child.
A child between 5 to 12 years of age, is in the accelerated mode of growth, both physically and mentally. While their brain is developed and can take a lot of information, we at GIIS ensure that learning is not a burden but a joyful experience.
Lessons and timetables are planned to make all days filled with academics and sports activities.
Curricula We Offer
IB Primary Years (PYP) Grade 1-5
IB PYP* nurtures and develops young students as caring active participants in a lifelong journey of learning.

CBSE Grade 1-12
The CBSE education system prepares students for competitive examinations while facilitation entry into their world’s leading universities. This pedagogical approach to holistic education enables students to focus effectively on academics, as well as pursue their interest in sports and extracurricular activities.
Add-Ons, Value Added Academics
STEM
Every student gets STEM kits (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) from school. The kit has experiments, that students need to use during the academic year. These are mapped to the concepts taught during the year. STEM equips students to understand key concepts in the subject for real-life use, by creating working models of these concepts.
HeyMath!
An online tool for students to understand Mathematics and familiarise themselves with the joys of learning. It helps them hone their mathematical skills from an early age. The tool ensures that every student not just understands the topic in-depth but gets to practice it at length. It helps students overcome their fear of Maths and focus on self-learning.
Detailed Assessment
Popularly known as DA, Detailed Assessments are online practice tests. Students get to appear for these tests in school as a part of extra practice. These online exercises help teachers understand every child’s strengths and weakness in that particular lesson or concept, and device methods to help students do better.
Activities, PE and Sports
A primary student at GIIS gets the best of both worlds. He/She gets to experience the rigour of academics as well as get support to explore their sporting talents through extra-curricular activities like Physical Education and Gold Squad.
The programme ensures 40% of the school time is apportioned to physical activities and sports. In a week, students have Yoga, Physical Education, ECA and Gold Squad along with other co-curricular activities.
Sports is taken very seriously from a very young age. Students are encouraged to take up one Sport of their liking in their ECA.
