INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE DIPLOMA PROGRAMME
GSIS is renowned for being a place of academic excellence, with students’ well-being is placed on an equal footing with their academic achievements. We believe that there is more to academic education than examination results. We want our students to think from a different perspective, to challenge, to enquire and to debate. It is our aim to prepare each and every student by ensuring that they leave GSIS with the qualifications, broad range of skills and depth of knowledge needed to be successful in an increasingly international and diverse world. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a globally recognised diploma which provides a holistic learning opportunity by balancing subject choices across different disciplines, as well as students in Years 12 – 13 completing a core programme which comprises three elements: Theory of Knowledge, Creativity, Activity and Service, and an Extended Essay.
