| ◎ Academic Overview |
 |
Preschool |
| Children develop social and communication skills through physical games, individual and group challenges, and songs and poems in an English language environment. The Preschool program is a very important launching platform for children to acquire English fluency. For English speakers, Preschool provides opportunities to work & play within a diverse community and to establish foundation learning skills. We offer a full-day Preschool program. |

Kindergarten |
| The Kindergarten class has a full day program. Children are introduced to the concepts of literacy and numeracy with ample opportunities to gain understanding through the use of manipulative materials, books, games, and puzzles. |

|
Elementary (Grade 1 to 5) |
| GIFS strives to develop the whole child, emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually. The Elementary Grades help students form a strong foundation in numeracy, literacy, environmental awareness, and understanding of history and community while also establishing qualities of honesty, tolerance, compassion, and empathy. Elementary students take English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, Music, Health and Art. |

|
Middle/High School (Grade 6 to 12) |
| As students emerge into young adults, GIFS provides an environment where they are free to expand their horizons and stretch themselves mentally, physically, socially and emotionally. A creative, talented, and caring faculty supports this time of growth.
While students are ready for the enhanced academics and sense of independence that comes with this change, they also need monitored support during this time. In recognition of this, homeroom teachers at GIFS provide each student with a guiding, positive influence. Grade level teams work collaboratively to ensure student success. |
