About us
GSIS is an inclusive learning community in which children and adults together are committed to, and inspired by, a love of learning, as well as caring deeply about the world around them and ahead of them by exploring all the possibilities. Our Faculty staff motivate our students to go beyond their academic comfort zones and encourage them to embrace academic rigour. Our Administration team comes from diverse backgrounds with varying skill sets and their dedication to the school allows teachers to focus on students’ learning and development. Our German Swiss heritage and traditions are something we are very proud of. The marriage of old and new, and innovative developments make for a unique educational experience for every one of our students.
