Global connection
The impact of a GIS education lies in its connected alumni network. Spanning generations and continents, the alumni network holds annual gatherings in key cities like London and Kuala Lumpur. These exclusive events provide a platform for alumni, faculty, and current students to connect, share insights, and create opportunities beyond geographical boundaries.
This commitment to bridging the gap between education and real-world experience is further exemplified by the THRIVE Internship Programme, which leverages the expertise and connections of the alumni network to provide invaluable internship opportunities for Sixth Form students. The extraordinary accomplishments of GIS graduates, who have achieved international recognition in diverse fields—from international sports champions and award-winning artists to pioneering business leaders and influential community leaders— stand as a testament to the school’s commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a supportive environment where every student can realise their full potential.
The spirit of community is evident on campus grounds, nurtured through a variety of engaging events and initiatives. On top of building parent engagement and enrichment through weekly parent workshops, another much anticipated event is the annual Spring Ball, a glamorous occasion where parents can connect, build lasting friendships, and expand their social circles, reinforcing the strong, supportive bonds that define the GIS family.
A lifelong investment
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. At GIS, education is more than just a preparation for university; it’s a foundation for life, a network for success, and a community for lifelong support and mentorship.
