At GIS, our outstanding academic results, extensive extra-curricular programmes and innovative approaches to teaching and learning place us amongst the best British international schools in the world. This year, a record number of six students were offered places at Oxbridge, and ten students received offers to study medicine or dentistry in the UK. 99% of our students will go on to study at their first or second choice university, with many winning places at the world’s top universities including Stanford, Brown, UCLA, Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Edinburgh, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, Leiden University and Yale-NUS.
The world’s best universities expect more than just top grades, which is why we offer the GIS Diploma, providing our students with a truly enriched Sixth Form experience.
