International Primary Curriculum (IPC)

Our elementary program is guided by the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), a thematic, inquiry-based approach that connects subjects through real-world challenges and global perspectives. Students investigate big ideas, collaborate on purposeful projects, and engage in daily Socratic discussions that help them develop their voice and reasoning skills. At GISS, students are active decision-makers in their learning—they help shape the questions, chart the path, and assess their own growth.

We empower them to take ownership of their education, not just meet expectations but exceed them with curiosity and purpose.
