GIIS 9GEMS
An award-winning framework which provides holistic education to students.
What Is 9GEMS?
It is a well-curated framework that promotes excellence beyond academics. The GEMS are 9 areas – including sports, entrepreneurship, leadership, creativity, universal values and community connect – which can be explored by students to become well-developed individuals. Through extracurricular and co-curricular activities, GIIS gives students a platform to shape their personality into allrounders who can be global citizens.
9GEMS Framework
Academic Excellence
This GEM supports excellence in the classroom by blending our unique teaching methodologies with a rigorous and experiential curriculum. We achieve this through digital classroom infrastructure, collaborative apps and data analysis for improvement.
Sports Excellence
Sports not only provide students with an opportunity to stay active and connect with their peers but also shape their character into team players and collaborators. We have sports like cricket, football, basketball, tennis and athletics, which give students ample ground to excel.
Skills Development
Learning extends beyond the classroom environment, which is why we prioritise a hands-on, skills-based approach to education. Radio stations, speech and drama studios and TV studios are just a few skills-based spaces where students can explore their interests while enhancing their educational portfolios.
Visual and Performing Arts
We have studios for music, dance, drama and other artistic skills which give students the space to express themselves. These creative spaces are where students showcase their talent, and are mentored by subject experts to excel. They also learn to appreciate art that others bring to life.
Entrepreneurship and Leadership
We want all our students to leave GIIS feeling confident, curious and inspired, which is why entrepreneurship and leadership is one of the sparkling gems in our framework. Through skills-based workshops, such as our Entrepreneurship Boot Camp, students practice their leadership skills under the guidance of an expert.
Innovation and Creativity
We nurture a spirit of innovation and creativity in all our students by helping them discover their interests and explore their passions. At events such as the GIIS Real World Challenge Convention, students collaborate to solve real-world problems and showcase their critical thinking skills.
Personality Development
To cultivate self-awareness, responsibility and empathy in students, we make personality development a central component of our curriculum. Through activities such as mindfulness, meditation and sports, we help our young learners to develop into responsible adults who are caring and nurturing.
Community and Care
Students are encouraged to connect with and care about the community they live in. Through community events, charity drives, event participation and more, we provide service for the betterment of the community. We measure student experiences and analyse the impact of our community events on their all-round development.
Universal Values
Our values-driven approach to education ensures that all learners understand the importance of being kind, respectful and socially responsible. Our Universal Values Programme is based on values of peace, brotherhood and empathy, and has been implemented at all our campuses worldwide.
