Pioneer in the CBSE curriculum in Singapore
GIIS is proud to be a pioneer in offering the CBSE to students in Singapore and the entire ASEAN region. Recognised by the Indian government, the CBSE is offered from Grades 1 to 12 at GIIS SMART Campus. It sets a strong academic base for students, along with the all-round development of students.
Adapting the CBSE curriculum to develop key 21st Century skills, GIIS has excelled in nurturing the following core skills:
● Critical thinking. These skills help students think around problems, enabling them in later academic pursuits and at work places.
● Creative thinking. Learning to think innovatively and find outside-the-box solutions to challenges students encounter.
● Communication. Help students become effective in interpersonal relations, community and organisational roles, entrepreneurship and leadership
