| | | | English Primary | | | General Information |  | Introduction The GSIS English Primary Department offer a distinct educational Experience where every student is respected as an individual and learns to value and respect others. We believe that our safe and supportive learning environment enables each student to develop a strong moral sense and spirit of co-operation and consideration for others. We nurture this through our five Guiding Principles of Respect, Intellectual Inquiry for Understanding, Positive Relationships, Courage and Optimism. We consider this part of their education equally important as their academic success. Our English Primary department has classes from Year One to Year Six with two classes in each year band. The curriculum taught at GSIS emphasises the enjoyment of learning and the mastery of skills; all content areas integrated across the curriculum subjects whenever appropriate. Staff
Our teachers come from diverse countries- including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand- and that diversity in culture and teaching methods adds significantly to the richness of the education our students receive. Members of staff are encouraged to undertake professional development to keep abreast of the latest educational philosophies.
