About Happiness

Happiness means knowing, believing in and loving what you’re doing. With happiness as the cornerstone of everything we do, our students learn to love not only school but also lifelong learning. We believe that no matter how relevant the curriculum might be, students need to be happy to engage and learn.

Measuring Happiness

While happiness may be both relative and subjective, it’s not unquantifiable. Because we strive to ensure optimal happiness at our schools, we measure it according to the following factors:

A questionnaire through which the happiness index is computed

Feedback from students

Testimonials from parents

Regular attendance

Positive referrals and sibling admissions

High academic performance

High level of participation in school activities

Is it working? An upward trend over the past three years among the indicators above affirm that our students are organically engaged and thereby happy. In nurturing this engagement and happiness, we’re nurturing learning.

How it works

Cultivating an environment which maximises development and delight among students is an overarching learning outcome. It involves very distinct yet interrelated factors:

1

Physical Environment

We put process effectiveness in place for highest efficiency by designing, implementing, reviewing and standardising processes across all GEOs which helps us apply for quality management system certifications.

2

Curriculum

While every outstanding school has a comprehensive and meaningful curriculum, our award-winning 9Gems model elevates learning to another level. In addition to carefully constructed syllabi, we also offer enrichment opportunities, including self-learning, peer-learning and group learning, to further engage students.

3

Faculty

Teachers who interact with the students are a key differentiator within any schooling system. Our teachers are the medium through which we nurture happiness in our students. Because we believe that each of them must understand our unique philosophy, all candidates undergo a rigorous recruitment process which factors in not only academic qualifications and experience but also attitude. Our staff members have the desire to teach, but they also have the desire to learn - not only from other adults but from the students, too.

4

Environment

The environment our students dwell in helps them in becoming emotionally secure and balanced and allows them to process and understand a lot of information happening around them. Students are exposed to a judicial mix of scholastic and co-scholastic life-enriching activities that help them enjoy multiple aspects of learning so much that coming to school every day is like an exciting journey for them to start and gain wisdom.

5

Treatment

Students love doing things when they know what they are doing and believe in it. We believe in treating every child as a distinct individual having an unmatchable personality and possessing talents we can nurture. Each campus works on various dimensions of student life, so they enjoy every part of schooling.

I love the way GIIS provides students with platforms to compete, perform and excel. The school is doing a wonderful job in giving students the opportunity to participate in national and international competitions - whether it is sports, extracurricular or co-curricular activities. My daughter is being groomed towards perfection with each passing day. I want to thank the Noida team for their exemplary work.

My daughter has been studying in GIIS, Noida Campus since 2017 and as a parent I am very happy with the continued efforts and innovative approach of the school towards an overall development in students. Through their collaborative and project-based approach to learning, young minds like my daughter’s are learning in a playful and fun way. She has become a great communicator and critical thinker. I think this will provide her with unlimited growth opportunities in future.

GIIS has a very good framework under their Global Montessori Plus programme, where children get the opportunity to explore their own learning at their own pace. It has given my child a nurturing environment as well as polish her natural skills. I am happy that she has developed a sense of ownership and better self-confidence through ECAs.

I would like to applaud and appreciate the work done by the students and teachers of the school. At this moment, when our whole country and the world are suffering from the Covid-19 pandemic. The virtual classes are a very good initiative taken up. Lastly would like to thank the staff of the school without whose efforts and hard work this would have not been possible.

Virtual classes are helping us to get 360-degree feedback on my child's performance and the curriculum. I appreciate the hard work and effort being put in by the teachers during this stressful time and making all possible efforts to let the academic curriculum run as normal. The content of the everyday class is well thought off and designed in a manner that is easily understandable by the kids.

Global Indian international school is a great institution for the students to learn beyond their textbooks and become global citizens of tomorrow. Even during COVID times, the school worked hard to ensure that not even one day of the children was wasted. I loved how the school kept the students busy with various workshops, assemblies, etc. that were conducted online so that they didn’t feel bored or stressed out from being at home all-time during the lockdown. I am extremely grateful that my children get to study at such a dedicated school and I’d like to thank the whole GIIS family for the same.
