Global Indian International School (GIIS) is a Singapore-based international school established in 2002.[1] With two campuses located in Punggol (Smart Campus) and Cheviot Hill (East Coast Campus), GIIS provides a diverse range of curricula options including GMP, IB PYP, IB DP, Cambridge IGCSE, CLSP, and CBSE. Admissions are open throughout the year. GIIS is under the Global Schools Foundation.
History
GIIS' first campus at Cheviot Hill was established by Global Schools Foundation in 2002 with just 48 students,[2] with the aim of providing education to the expatriate community in Singapore.[3][4] In 2006, GIIS opened 2 other campuses in Malaysia and Japan and another campus in Singapore.[5]
A new campus, PG Smart Campus, was initially planned to start its operations in July 2018, having the capacity of 3,000 students. However, a fire had occurred, possibly due to the burning of rubber, during the construction of the newly planned campus, delaying the progress.[6] The construction was eventually finished in 2018.[5] The Queenstown, Eastcoast
and Balestier campus later shut down to merge with the new campus.[7] The school has since expanded across South East Asia, Japan, Middle East and India throughout the years.
Campuses
GIIS has two campuses in Singapore, one at Cheviot Hill, the East Coast campus, and another at Punggol, SMART Campus.[8]
Besides that, it has presence in over seven countries and 23 campuses which include those in Singapore, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), India (Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Noida, and Bangalore), UAE (Abu Dhabi and Dubai), Thailand (Bangkok), Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) and Japan (Tokyo).[9][10]
The GIIS campus in Surat discontinued its operations following challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, its affiliation with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) was revoked, according to information provided by globalindianschool.org.[11]
