Extracurricular Activities at GIIS Bangalore: Promotong Holistic Development through Talent Nurturing
Beyond Academics: Building Well-Rounded Learners
A core component of holistic education is the Extra-Curricular and Co-Curricular activities that shape the development of students. They are instrumental in honing talents and developing social skills, critical thinking and teamwork.
Our school has an array of ECA and CCA activities for the benefit of our students. It is mandatory for our students to participate in at least one activity under both categories.
To instil a sense of belonging, camaraderie and brotherhood among students, many of these activities are held by grouping students into four Houses, which encourages healthy competition, a hunger for winning and pride in accomplishments. These efforts make us one of the leading Bangalore schools with ECA and holistic development, where students grow academically, socially and emotionally.
