Global Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (GCIE)
Innovation is the calling card of the future. New ideas for innovation grow out of the minds of new generation. GCIE provided the students with a platform of wide range of resources and space to create and innovate their ideas into models revamping their curriculum into reality. Initially the project kicked off with simple STEM experiments which enabled the students to understand the basic fundamentals of science and math with hands on activities and visual experience.

Project & Activity Based Learning
Project-based learning and activities are a great way for our students to have hands-on experience. We encourage collaboration, co-operation and research in our holistic educational framework, at Global Indian International School, Abu Dhabi, which teaches our students the art of respecting different opinions and builds on their conflict management and presentation skills.
Reading Program
Our international programme is designed as a sequential reading programme that ensures each student in our Abu Dhabi international school, completes a set of 5 designated books in a year. This is interspersed with specific related tasks which ultimately culminate into a literary week. This helps students gain the ability to grasp text better and respond appropriately.

STEM Based Learning & Robotics

Our dedicated focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) helps foster a scientific temperament and give students' minds a logical bent. Robotics and model making lends itself to the applied and real-life problems found in project-based tasks. Students excelling in STEM subjects help us become one of the best schools in Abu Dhabi.
Integrated Technology in Learning
We believe in moving with the times, which is why we harness technology to enhance learning.. Having international-level software labs in Maths and English are a part of the academic infrastructure, while our emphasis on virtual classes gives students sitting in Abu Dhabi, a chance to learn from worldwide experts in the field. Tools like the Google Classroom and platforms like the Khan Academy tutorials, offering support to the Indian curriculum are put to best use.

Global Student Exchange (GSE)
Being a technology savvy school, we incorporate this platform in as many projects as possible. One of them is Global Student Exchange, under which students from different countries research on a single idea and present their findings to each other. This engagement, through video-conferencing, teaches students to be good at research, good at presentation and to learn from each other. It is an interactive way to prepare our students for bigger challenges like global competitions.
Individual Development Plan (IDP)
We devised the idea of creating an IDP document for senior students where they engage in setting targets for themselves in consultation with their parents and teachers. A suitable action plan is worked out, and the student takes ownership of his progress with the support of the school.
7S Analysis & Detailed Assessment
Our award-winning proprietary pre-emptive evaluation tool is called 7S. It is a unique analysis that measures the continual improvement of students in 7 areas, phases and sections of learning. In this international community school, a parallel, a topic-wise formative assessment tool, called Detailed Assessment (DA), is implemented which tests a student’s conceptual knowledge and helps identify any learning gaps.
Al Tasamuh
The values and beliefs of the great leader Mahatma Gandhi on non-violence are more relevant than ever in the world today. Global Indian International School, Abu Dhabi campus honors the values of tolerance, harmony, forgiveness, peace and friendship by organizing Al Tasamuh, an inter-school competition every year coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti. Gandhiji remains a symbol of peace, resilience and patience even today after his 150th birth anniversary.
GIIS continually strives to inculcate these qualities in its staff, students and their ways of working and Al Tasamuh has been an initiative in the same direction. The primary aim for GIIS to organize Al Tasamuh every year since 2016 is to celebrate and preach universal tolerance and peace to the global citizens of the future.
