Message by the principal
At GIS, we prioritise the holistic development of every child, with a strong focus on social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth. We guide each student in their pursuit of excellence. In this quest for enlightenment, we nurture innovative leaders who master 21st-century skills to overcome challenges in the global community.
By adopting multidimensional approaches, we promote the core values of GIS: Sensitivity, Integrity, Pursuit of Excellence, and Pride in One’s Heritage. Through these core values, we believe our students must be molded with habits that become an integral part of their daily activities. To support this vision, we have internalised the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. We take pride in being the only Leader in Me School in the Maldives.
Education must inspire lifelong learners who are attuned to environmental changes, community diversity, and cultural differences. We aim to nurture generations of peacemakers. We believe our students must be aware of the human impact on ecology and biodiversity. Therefore, GIS exclusively uses environmentally friendly materials and discourages the use of disposable plastic within the school.
We instill respect for cultural differences and diversity, believing that each child is unique and special. Every student deserves respect and must be treated fairly. At GIS, students are nurtured to be self-aware and faithful to themselves and others, with a genuine desire for mutually beneficial solutions. The best students practice honesty and demonstrate consistent, unwavering adherence to strong moral and ethical principles, embodying true integrity.
We promote competitiveness in a positive manner, encouraging self-challenge for improvement in sportsmanship and various activities. Through co-curricular and extracurricular programs, we provide platforms for students to excel holistically. We believe in scaffolding and ensure our children progress through the zone of proximal development.
GIS is committed to offering the best holistic learning environment for all our students.
Thank you
