Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink have a class specifically for Global Indian International School (Singapore)'s IB curriculum?
Yes. Global Indian International School (Singapore) students follow the IB Mathematics curriculum, and we run a dedicated IB Math class to match.
How does the IB Math curriculum differ from the local secondary syllabus?
IB Math covers different content at a different pace from the MOE secondary syllabus. Students who attend a general secondary tuition class risk spending time on O-Level or SEC exam content that won't appear in their assessments. Our dedicated IB class avoids that.
When should an IB student start tuition?
We recommend starting early — the IB curriculum diverges from the local secondary syllabus quickly, and gaps compound. Students who join mid-programme can also be accommodated.
What makes DeepThink different for IB students?
A dedicated IB class that stays on the IB curriculum throughout your child's secondary years.
School Overview
Global Indian International School (GIIS) is a private international school in Singapore, established in 2002 under the Global Schools Foundation. Its first Singapore campus opened at Cheviot Hill with just 48 students, founded with the aim of providing education to Singapore's growing expatriate community. Over the following years GIIS expanded into a network of campuses across South East Asia, Japan, the Middle East, and India, and today operates in over seven countries; in Singapore, its earlier sites were consolidated into a single purpose-built campus.
That campus is the SMART Campus at 27 Punggol Field Walk, in Singapore's north-eastern Punggol Digital District, which serves a large and highly international student body of roughly four thousand pupils. GIIS offers a full education spanning Kindergarten through Grade 12 and is notable for running several distinct curricula in parallel rather than a single track, so that families can choose the pathway that best suits their child. Its stated slogan is "Nurturing Future Citizens," and the school is accredited by EduTrust Singapore alongside its external curriculum accreditations.
Curriculum and the IB Pathway
Unlike a typical single-stream school, GIIS offers a range of programmes side by side. The early years run on the Global Montessori Plus programme, with the IB Primary Years Programme and the Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme in the primary and middle years. From there, families can continue along an international route through the University of Cambridge IGCSE and into the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), or follow the Indian national curriculum through the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The medium of instruction is English, with additional languages including Hindi, Tamil, French, Mandarin, and Spanish offered across the school.
The IB Diploma stream is a genuinely international pathway and differs from the Singapore MOE syllabus in both content and assessment: there is no O-Level or Singapore-Cambridge SEC examination, and the Diploma is built around its own core of Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, Service. Diploma Mathematics is taken as one of two routes — Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation — each at Standard or Higher Level, and the choice shapes a student's options in fields such as engineering and the sciences. Because the IB Mathematics syllabus moves at a different pace and covers different material from the local curriculum, DeepThink, a specialist mathematics tuition centre, runs small-group classes aligned to the IB Mathematics curriculum, including both the Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation routes, which some families on the IB Diploma stream find useful ahead of the Diploma years.
Admissions
Admission to GIIS is by direct application to the school rather than through Singapore's PSLE posting exercise or the Direct School Admission scheme, which apply only to local MOE schools. The school notes that admissions are open throughout the year, so families are not tied to a single annual intake window and can apply for entry across the different grade levels as places allow.
Because GIIS runs multiple curricula in parallel, an important early step for families is deciding which stream best fits their child — for example the international IGCSE-to-IB Diploma pathway, or the CBSE route — as this shapes the programme a student follows from the outset. As an international school, GIIS draws its student body overwhelmingly from expatriate and internationally mobile families; under Singapore government policy, local Singapore citizens generally require approval to enrol in an international school. Specific entry requirements, assessment steps, and current fees are published by the school's admissions office and are the authoritative source for prospective applicants.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The SMART Campus in Punggol is a large, purpose-built facility designed to bring the school's whole Kindergarten-to-Grade-12 community together on one site, in keeping with its location in Singapore's north-eastern digital district. The campus was completed in 2018 and replaced the school's earlier separate Singapore sites, consolidating teaching, sport, and the arts into a single modern environment intended to support both academic learning and a broad co-curricular programme.
With a student population of around four thousand drawn from many nationalities, GIIS supports a wide range of activities alongside its academic streams, spanning sport, the performing and visual arts, and special-interest pursuits. Specific clubs and team offerings vary from year to year and are published by the school, but the breadth of the programme reflects the school's aim of developing well-rounded students rather than focusing on examination results alone. The multilingual character of the school — with several languages taught beyond English — also runs through its wider cultural and co-curricular life.
School Community and Culture
GIIS was founded to serve Singapore's expatriate community, and that internationally minded ethos remains central to its identity. Reflected in its slogan, "Nurturing Future Citizens," the school places emphasis on developing students who are academically capable and globally aware, and its large, multinational student body and multilingual programme give day-to-day life a distinctly international character. As part of a foundation operating campuses across several countries, the Singapore school sits within a wider global network of schools.
For many families, joining GIIS means navigating a move to Singapore and a change of curriculum at the same time, and students entering the senior years sometimes need to settle quickly into the demands of the IGCSE and IB Diploma pathways. Mathematics is a subject where a smooth transition matters, because the IB approach can differ noticeably from a student's previous system. DeepThink's small-group IB Mathematics classes, which follow the IB curriculum rather than the local syllabus, are one option that some families on the IB Diploma stream use to help their children build confidence during this transition and through the Diploma years.
Frequently Asked Questions about Global Indian International School (Singapore)
Is Global Indian International School (Singapore) a good school?
GIIS is a long-established international school in Singapore, founded in 2002 under the Global Schools Foundation and part of a network of campuses across more than seven countries. It offers a full Kindergarten-to-Grade-12 education through several curricula, including the IB Diploma Programme and Cambridge IGCSE, and is accredited by EduTrust Singapore as well as by its respective external curriculum bodies.
What curriculum does GIIS follow?
Rather than a single track, GIIS offers several curricula in parallel. These include the Global Montessori Plus programme in the early years, the IB Primary Years Programme, the Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme, the University of Cambridge IGCSE, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, and the Indian Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum. Families choose the stream that best fits their child.
Does GIIS offer the IB Diploma Programme?
Yes. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is one of the senior pathways at GIIS, typically reached through the Cambridge IGCSE in the earlier secondary years. The Diploma includes the IB core of Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, Service, and Diploma Mathematics is offered as either Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation, each at Standard or Higher Level.
How does admission to GIIS work?
Admission is by application directly to the school, not through Singapore's PSLE posting exercise or the Direct School Admission scheme, which apply only to local MOE schools. The school notes that admissions are open throughout the year. Because GIIS runs multiple curricula, families also choose which stream their child will follow. The school's admissions office publishes the current requirements and fees.
What ages and grades does GIIS take?
GIIS offers a full education from Kindergarten through Grade 12, beginning with its early-years Montessori-based programme and continuing through the primary, middle, and senior years toward the IB Diploma, Cambridge IGCSE, or CBSE pathways.
Where is GIIS located in Singapore?
The school's Singapore campus is the SMART Campus at 27 Punggol Field Walk, Singapore 828649, in the Punggol area in the north-east of the island. This purpose-built campus brings the school's whole Kindergarten-to-Grade-12 community together on one site.
Does GIIS offer multiple curricula or just one?
GIIS deliberately offers multiple curricula in parallel. The international route runs from the Cambridge IGCSE into the IB Diploma Programme, while the Indian national route follows the CBSE curriculum; the early and middle years are served by the Global Montessori Plus programme, the IB Primary Years Programme, and the Cambridge Lower Secondary Programme. This lets families pick the pathway best suited to their child.
How is IB Mathematics at GIIS different from the local Singapore syllabus?
On the IB Diploma stream, Mathematics is part of the International Baccalaureate and differs from the MOE secondary and A-Level syllabuses in both content and structure. Students take either Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretation rather than E-Math, A-Math, or H2 Mathematics, so support matched specifically to the IB is more relevant than general O-Level or A-Level preparation.
Can my child get extra help with IB Mathematics while at GIIS?
Yes. DeepThink runs small-group classes aligned to the IB Mathematics curriculum, covering both the Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation routes at Standard and Higher Level. Lessons follow the IB syllabus rather than the local secondary syllabus, which suits students on the GIIS IB Diploma pathway.
What languages are taught at GIIS?
The medium of instruction at GIIS is English, and the school additionally offers Hindi, Tamil, French, Mandarin, and Spanish. This multilingual offering reflects the school's diverse, international student community.
What co-curricular activities does GIIS offer?
GIIS supports a broad co-curricular programme alongside its academic streams, spanning sport, the performing and visual arts, and special-interest activities, in keeping with its aim of developing well-rounded students. The specific clubs and teams on offer vary from year to year and are published by the school.
What is the history of GIIS?
GIIS was established in 2002 by the Global Schools Foundation, opening its first Singapore campus at Cheviot Hill with 48 students to serve the expatriate community. It later expanded into a network of campuses across South East Asia, Japan, the Middle East, and India. In Singapore, its earlier sites were consolidated into the purpose-built SMART Campus at Punggol, completed in 2018.
