Features of IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education)

The objective of Cambridge International Examination (CIE) is to prepare students for life by enabling them to develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. It finds reverberation with our own Mission Statement at Global Indian International School which outlines our venture to promote the all round development of students with the acquisition of principles and skills for life. Adhering to CIE’s approach, we at GIIS have made cognizant efforts to make our students confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged individuals, equipped to face new and future challenges and make a difference to their immediate society and the world at large.

Being accredited by the University of Cambridge International Examinations Syndicate GIIS has also been a centre for Cambridge International Examinations for over 5 years. Our students have consistently made us proud by securing excellent grades in Checkpoint and IGCSE examinations. With each examination series, we have new reasons to feel proud at the achievements of our students and also the effort of our teachers. Over the years, we have heard many success stories from our alumni who have gone on to excel in their higher studies and careers.
