The knowledge they acquire at our SMART Campus equips students for a world well beyond the school, making them ready for the next phase of life
Assessments and results
Every assessment is designed to help both teachers and students to assess the students’ learning as they progress, know where they are in their academic journey, and recognise the gaps in their knowledge so that they can support them in the areas they need guidance in.
The Cambridge checkpoint tests are globally recognised as fair and valid assessments of student progress. To further assist it, we have reduced our teacher to student ratio, so our CLSP experts can offer better counsel to each student. The students additionally enjoy a well-equipped library, Learning Commons and other similar collaborative spaces to gain more insights from peers.
Data Analytics at GIIS
GIIS has a unique methodology to check the academic and non-academic progress of our students. We have devised methods and installed platforms which give us raw data on students’ performances inside and outside the classroom.Data Analytics in academics at GIIS is called the 7S method, in which teachers and coordinators gather stats on a student’s marks in seven different areas of development. This includes school, segment, section, subject, subject-teacher, student and summary. The data is then studied by the teacher to determine progress of the student in all areas of development, and an assessment is done which helps students understand their strengths and weaknesses.
