Our programme for primary school in Japan is designed to be a joyful experience for students between 5.5 to 11.5 years, an age where physical and mental growth is accelerated and all encompassing.
At this critical juncture, our international primary school faculty step in to identify, nurture and grow the students’ academic and non-academic interests in such a way that information passed to them is measured and engaging, making the learning of the rigorous CBSE curriculum a fun and joyful experience.
Our academic teaching methodology can be compared to a spiral structure which rises up in a systematic manner, as well as burrowing deeper down. This concept - of rising higher and going deep - has been adopted in our academic structure which gives our students a good balance between imagination and understanding.

Our Bridge Programme is an important feature which allows our students to start at any time during the school term and receive the assistance they need to catch up with their peers. Rest assured that your child will be learning with his/her classmates as quickly as possible, once you apply for primary school.
This specialised programme exists to help students of all grade levels make up for lost time, complete important lessons and classwork, and catch up academically with their regular class.
As with all of our other curriculum offerings, academics are at the forefront of the CBSE programme at best private primary school. The interdisciplinary teaching at GIIS gives students a powerful opportunity to apply knowledge, principles and values to more than one academic subject simultaneously.
This commitment is exemplified by consistently outstanding test scores of our students in both Class 10 and Class 12 in CBSE Board Examinations. These fantastic results facilitate the entry of our students into world's leading universities with ease.
Our academic add-ons are programmes as per the primary school fees that give additional boosts to a student's learning curve through targeted primary school admission studies, helping them focus on additional areas and concepts at no extra cost.
We provide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) related material that helps students understand key concepts in the subject by creating working models of these concepts; use online tools like HeyMath! to hone their mathematical skills and conduct detailed assessments through which the teachers understand every child’s strengths and weakness in particular subjects.
Extra-Curricular Activities (ECAs) include honing inherent skills in students like performing arts, leadership, entrepreneurship and innovation. These activities balance the learning environment in the school and allow students to be well-rounded individuals who can excel at anything, and be ready to face the world as global citizens. There are also course enrichment activities conducted in class after each concept (like quizzes, group projects or short tests).
For our students, the rigour of academics is well-balanced by proper exposure to sports through Co-curricular activities, physical education and a Cricket Academy.
COVID-19 outbreak is likely to have a major economic impact on all industries. With business impacted, cases of job losses or loss of income are likely to rise. A timely financial assistance scheme has been designed under the Global Indian International School (“GIIS”) called the Resilience Scholarship (GRS 2020), to allow students studying in any international school in Japan cope with the COVID-19 impact.
The Global Schools Foundation has been contributing to the educational needs of students through various programmes and initiatives. Through the Merit-Cum-Means scholarship, GSF plans to extend support through financial assistance, and make education affordable for parents across financial spectrums.
The scholarship is associated with each of the GEM in GIIS Nine GEMS pedagogy. Students who have received National or International recognition, or have contributed, in fields of sport, co-curricular activities including visual and performing arts, community service, innovation and entrepreneurship, showed extraordinary leadership skills are eligible to apply.
Students go through a number of assessments in a year
• For Grade 1 and 2, there are four assessments in the form of tests. Answer sheets are marked with grades.
• For Grade 3 to 5, there are two major assessments in September and March - termed half yearly and yearly assessments. They also have two periodic tests in May and November.
There are also bite-sized assessments conducted in class after each concept (like quizzes, group projects or short tests).
We make sure that parents are involved in the education and growth of their children at every step.
All information about the student is shared with the parent through our customised portal - myGIIS - which acts as a communication platform between the two sides.
Newsletters and emails are sent periodically, while each parental query is responded to within 24 hours – unless it is punctuated by a weekend, public holiday or vacation.
Over and above academic excellence, our award-winning 9GEMS framework promotes values like discipline, creativity, sportsmanship, leadership and respect – many based on universally admired teachings.
This enriched learning experience helps develop our students into refined, morally upstanding citizens of the world; and better prepares them for the myriad challenges of their adult lives.
