Aristotle once said that, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”.

GIS started in the year 2018 with a commitment to excellence in education. It was started as a dream – a dream envisioned by our Founder Members, who were a group of parents aspiring towards a liberal secular education for their own and other children in the city. GIS is a small school with a large vision. Education at GIS goes beyond the letters in the page of a textbook, and students emerge as confident young individuals, ready to face the challenges of the 21st century. We inspire our students to question and learn by doing, we give them the skills, courage, optimism and integrity to pursue their own dreams. In doing so, our students develop into confident, creative and caring adults who pursue interesting and challenging careers.

Learning takes many forms at GIS. Each student achieves his or her own potential in the classroom, art room, sports field or on the stage. Being a small school, there are several opportunities for each individual to explore and hone their unique talents. We encourage all our students to persevere, participate and take responsibility for their own development. Through the years at GIS our students are happy to come to school, as each day is an adventure, with something new and exciting to engage them

Our excellent results at CBSE Board examinations bear testimony to the excellence of the teaching staff who create a challenging and stimulating learning environment. This helps our students get a good grounding for their further education.

We live today in a world that is very different from the one we grew up, in the one we were educated in. The world today is changing at such an accelerated rate where we as educators need to pause and reflect on this entire system of education. Our school is well equipped to prepare our children to face the challenges that the future holds and work at implementing a well-balanced curriculum to ensure that the children who walk into the portals of GIS will not just leave their school years but truly be prepared to face life’s challenges.

Even as we impart education to match the advancement in technology and globalization, we march our children ahead with ethos of moral values and principles. We endeavor constantly to instill these qualities in our children. We pride ourselves to help them grow and develop into sensitive and responsible citizens of the future

GIS believes there is no contradiction between learning and fun, joy and the pursuit of excellence, the global and the local, and between respecting tradition and embracing change.

I am honoured to be the Principal of GIS.
