Hence parents are opting for such high schools to secure their child\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

GIIS<\/h2>\n

The Global Indian International School (GIIS) is considered one of the best international schools in Japan<\/a>. It has been ranked as the #1 school among the CBSE overseas schools in 2020. GIIS high school Japan<\/a> is a modern school with the latest curriculum and modern methods of teaching. We offer 7 different advanced curricula<\/a> to our students which also includes the Cambridge programme even at the junior level. In short, we provide world-class facilities, individual attention and next-gen education. We have won 15 awards for our outstanding operational practices and innovative teaching methodologies.<\/p>\n

At GIIS, we follow the 9 GEMS framework, which is our unique patented teaching methodology that keeps academics at the core, with ample emphasis on other important aspects such as sports, entrepreneurship, leadership, innovation, community care, etc. This unique educational framework ensures the holistic development<\/a> of every student and prepares them to be responsible citizens of the future.<\/p>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n

Here are the dynamic 9GEMS that concentrate on enhancing your child\u2019s abilities, both in academics and other non-academic pursuits.<\/p>\n

\u200d<\/p>\n

1. Academic Excellence: Our academic sessions are highly interactive and are usually based on engaging discussions, project-based learning and the use of innovative tools to get a better understanding of the subject\u00a0 in question. This kind of learning engages students to give their best and learn from their errors faster.<\/p>\n

2. Sports Excellence: We believe in the saying,, \u201cA healthy body is a healthy mind\u201d. Sports is an integral part of our international school<\/a> and we encourage all our students to take up at least one sport to their credit.<\/p>\n

Sportsmanship, tolerance and resilience in character are some of the advantages of playing an active role in sports and GIIS ensures it gives its students state of the art facilities to do just that.<\/p>\n

3. Visual and Performing Arts: To encourage innate creativity in students, we provide them a skill based programme, along with the right guidance and tools. Any form of art is therapeutic, and is a great way to give a boost to the student\u2019s self-confidence.<\/p>\n

4. Personality Development: Personality development is among one of the most important frameworks for our students. GIIS helps students to help attain a strong personality through their many events and activities that need critical thinking, interpersonal skills and communication skills.<\/p>\n

5. Innovation and Creativity: Each student has an innate ability or skill that can be further developed to achieve greater results. Innovation being GIIS\u2019s core, the students are given every opportunity to hone their creative skills and this leads to newer innovative methods that can be adapted in their future.<\/p>\n

6. Entrepreneurship and Leadership: These are the two most important skills needed to survive in this century. Industry experts are invited to talk to our students and encourage them to participate in worldly discussions and trending topics to help improve communication and presentation skills.<\/p>\n

7. Universal values and ethics: Students are taught to learn the importance of respecting one another and imbibe values that can help them build their character to grow into responsible adults.<\/p>\n

8. Community and Care: Children are taught the importance of their community and their environment and are encouraged to participate in green initiatives and charity programmes.<\/p>\n

9. Skill Development: Here, the emphasis is on building skills useful for the real world and also building soft skills such as communication, team work, time management and decision-making. GIIS provides platforms to enhance these skills and build a strong personal portfolio for their future.<\/p>\n

The IBDP Bridge Programme of GIIS Tokyo is designed to accommodate the academic gap between CBSE\/IGCSE and IBDP. It also ensures that students from CBSE and IGCSE are fully equipped to undertake the IBDP course.<\/p>\n

GIIS has a lot of unique co-curricular activities<\/a>, for instance, it offers Carnatic Music lessons, Bharatnatyam and Kathak dance forms, Bollywood dance, etc. in the Japan campus. We also have other interesting options like cartoon drawing, Igo, calligraphy and others.<\/p>\n

GIIS also offers an array of extracurricular activities for the benefit of the students. Some of them include table tennis, karate, soccer, board games, and more. Besides these It also offers Summer Programme<\/a>\u00a0which includes the activities like Yoga, STEM-based activities, Role-Playing, Sports, Robotics & English Language Support (ESL).<\/p>\n

The school has numerous scholarship <\/a>options and we offer them to students right from kindergarten<\/a> to class 12.<\/p>\n

The scholarships are specifically created to benefit children who are exceptionally gifted, who cannot afford an international school education.<\/p>\n

It is their belief that every child, who shows a keen interest in education, should be given an equal opportunity to fulfil his or her dreams.<\/p>\n

The scholarships they offer are the Global Citizen Scholarship, 9GEMS Holistic Development Scholarship<\/a>, Hideki Yukawa Global Skills Scholarship<\/a>, Sadako Ogata Merit cum Means Scholarship<\/a> and Global FUTURE-READY Merit Scholarship<\/a>. The details are available on their website under Scholarship.<\/p>\n

GIIS is quite affordable given the quality of education, infrastructure and facilities it provides to the students. The school admission process<\/a> is very simple and can be easily completed online through the website. In case of any queries, one can contact the enquiry team via the website.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

The teaching methods and approach differ from one school to another, some may have the IGCSE curriculum while some may have CBSE. At GIIS, we think of the best interests of our students. Every student has their unique way of grasping lessons and a choice of atmosphere that they would be comfortable in. We pride ourselves by providing a platform that will suit every kind of child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
