Admission Tips

The Global Indian International School (GIIS) is a globally recognised award-winning institution with more than 20 campuses across seven countries. GIIS was founded to provide quality education for students all over the world, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds. At GIIS Pune, students are encouraged to be active participants in their learning experience, making them equal partners in the process. 

Let us look at reasons for choosing the GIIS Pune

The vision and mission of nurturing today's learners to become leaders of tomorrow are the same across all GIIS campuses. It is this consistency in delivering academic excellence that has made GIIS stand out among other private and international schools. The modern and international Montessori program will blend the highest quality of in-house teaching techniques with Maria Montessori’s philosophy. 

Driven by principles

The Hadapsar Pune campus, a suburb in the city known for being the home of information technology. The smart campus aims to produce students equipped for the 21st-century world, driven by technology. Like all other GIIS schools, the Pune campus is guided by several principles listed below:

  • Management with information and metrics
  • Agility and adaptability
  • Teamwork
  • Creating an ambience for learning
  • To mentor, and make a difference
  • Attitude before knowledge
  • Honesty, integrity and ethical practices

Offers modern Montessori

The school is one of the few in the city to offer the Global Montessori program for its youngest students. The school adopts a dynamic, hands-on approach to teaching young learners. Experience-based learning and age-appropriate curriculum encourage active participation and creativity. 

9GEMS Teaching Methodology

The GIIS faculty realises that creating global citizens requires a lot more than academic excellence. That is why the school focuses on the holistic development of its students. In addition to academic excellence, students are allowed to be creative, and to explore their ideas as they learn about universal values and general ethics. Therefore, the school has merged the best of eastern and western modes of education and come up with the 9GEMS™ education model.

The 9GEMS teaching framework is what has transformed GIIS Pune into the best international school in Pune. The system focuses on building intelligence, skills and values among their students. So what are these 9GEMS?

1. Academic excellence

GIIS promotes academic excellence by teaching international curriculums using unique teaching methods. From early education to vocational training for older students, GIIS has adapted the modern Montessori international method and CBSE curriculum to prepare its students for the future. Additionally, children have a hands-on, collaborative learning experience that encourages them to be life-long learners. 

2. Sports excellence

Children enjoy a list of benefits from taking part in both indoor and outdoor sports. Besides improving their physical health, sports also help build character, enhance teamwork, and develop mental toughness. GIIS Pune has state of the art indoor and outdoor facilities to cater to all children interested in sports. 

3. Visual and performing arts

Creative arts are an excellent outlet for students. If your child wants to grow their talent or learn a new skill, GIIS Pune is equipped with art facilities and training studios to cater to every student. Students will get the equipment they need and have qualified teaching staff to guide them through their learning. Through these skilled based programs students can build their portfolios to help them in the future if they want to turn their passion into a career. 

4. Personality development

Personal development begins from early childhood education through to the higher levels of learning. Personalities vary among students. At GIIS, teachers use various methods such as meditation, critical thinking, self-expression and many others to develop each individual’s personality. 

5. Innovation and creativity

Our curriculums are student-focused. Therefore, students are encouraged to explore their interests and find creative ways to solve problems. Teachers identify where students excel the most and facilitate their growth in that particular subject area. Supporting innovation and creativity among students encourages them to be more open-minded in embracing new strategies and modifying them to solve global issues. 

6. Entrepreneurship and leadership

The events and programs calendar at GIIS is packed with boot camps, educational workshops and school trips that expose students to real-life situations within their interests. Additionally, the school invites experts in different fields who hold conversations with the students and impart their expert knowledge. Students also participate in group activities that challenge current concepts or find new solutions to old problems. It encourages the students to march forward with confidence in a subject they are passionate about as they create relevant connections. 

7. Universal values and ethics

The student population at GIIS is very diverse. Through the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, students are taught peace and respect for others. Students also engage in activities such as yoga to help instil character and equal treatment for all students. 

8. Community and care

Programs such as charity drives, green initiatives, and community events participation encourage our students to interact with the community. Academic excellence is essential, but service to the community helps students understand the situation on the ground. Interacting with the community helps shape the students' perspective when they are out there trying to solve global issues.  

9. Skill development

GIIS aims to produce people in society who are substantially equipped in both soft and hard skills. GIIS smart campuses fuse technology with education to ensure that students have both technology and academic skills. These skills, together with personality development, ensure that students truly become intelligent and respectable human beings.

Many parents are beginning to appreciate schools that focus on all round development of the child. Children spend almost half their lives in school, so parents appreciate the holistic approach of education offered by GIIS. A balance between academics and personal improvement is necessary, especially in today's world. The award-winning 9GEMS™ methodology is proof that holistic education is the approach that every other institution must adopt. 


Curriculum options

GIIS offers multiple curriculums through which an expat family's dream can come true. Some of the curriculums offered are the modern Montessori program and the CBSE program. The various curriculums are internationally recognised, so it is easy for your child to transfer schools later. 

State Of-the-art infrastructure

From facial recognition software to enhance school security to digital classrooms and professional sports and arts facilities, GIIS stands out when it comes to preparing its students for today's world. Students' data is analysed by digital software to know where teachers should improve. GIIS smart campuses have set a high bar when it comes to using technology for education. 


Competitive tuition costs

GIIS aims to make quality education accessible to students worldwide. Therefore, the school offers competitive fee structure compared to other international schools in India. It is common to assume that the school is expensive, but it is best to visit the campus and talk to the administration to know the facts. GIIS Pune also offers several scholarships for deserving students.

Encourages parent participation

One of the main reasons GIIS is successful is because of the support system that the school has developed over years. The school has the best internationally trained teachers to ensure quality education. Parents and students are allowed to share their feedback through surveys. The school management also works cohesively to ensure the daily running of the school is efficient. The school aims to live up to its name by ensuring all systems are working to achieve the common vision of GIIS.
