At GIS we prioritize Holistic development of every child, with a strong focus on Social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual development. We guide every student to work for excellence. In this quest of enlightenment, we ensure to nature innovative leaders who master skills of twenty first century to overcome challenges in the global community. Adopting multidimensional approaches, we promote the core values of GIS: - Sensitivity, Integrity, Pursuit of Excellence and Pride in one’s Heritage. With the core values we believe our students must be mold with habits that can be part of every activity they perform. Hence we have also internalized the seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. We take pride for being the only Leader in Me School in Maldives.

Education must Intrigue lifelong learners, who are sensitive to the environmental changes, the diversity of community and cultural differences. We aim at nurturing generations of peace makers. We believe our students must be aware of man-made destructions to our ecology and biodiversity. Hence, GIS uses only environment friendly materials and discourage any means of disposable plastic to be used in GIS. We instill respect for cultural differences and diversity. And believe each and every child is unique and special. Every child deserves respect and must be treated fairly. Students at GIS are natured to be self-conscious and faithful to one’s self and others with genuine desire for mutually beneficial solutions. The best students are those who practice honesty and shows consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values to justify their integrity.

We promote competitiveness in a positive manner. Challenge oneself for improvement in sportsmanship and variety of activities. Through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, we provide platforms for the students to excel holistically. We believe in scaffolding and ensure our children are led through the zone of proximal development.

Being a Leader in Me School, we promote the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: - be Proactive, Begin with the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand-then to Be Understood, Synergize, Sharpen the Saw. The seven habits are integrated and taught in GIS Curriculum. GIS beliefs in making a difference in the life of every child and making their future brighter and prosperous. “Giyasuddinians learn to lead”
