GIIS offers Virtual Classroom sessions through video-conferencing on an unprecedented scale since the pandemic began. During the initial lock-down in Singapore in April 2020 when schools were physically closed, GIIS was one of the first international schools to switch to virtual learning. Our sophisticated technology, learning tools and fully integrated digital processes helped our teachers prepare for digital teaching much earlier and allowed students to adapt to virtual classes almost immediately. While many schools were coping with this pandemic-driven imperative, GIIS students thrived with interactive lessons through video conferencing tools.

All students are accustomed to using digital tablets or laptops in the classroom as a learning tool. Primary and Secondary students and teachers use GSuite (with Google Classroom IDs) for collaborative work, sharing assignments, projects and more.

Teachers use innovative strategies to engage students during online lessons. Through effective use of technology, GIIS ensures that learning for students remains uninterrupted and children progress with their curriculum at the desired pace.
