Testimonials
Our eldest son joined GIS five years ago, and our second son started last year. Being part of the GIS community has been a wonderful experience—not just for our children, but for us as parents as well. The school is vibrant, engaging, and welcoming. From the very first day, we felt a true sense of belonging. If you’re looking for the best for both your children and yourself, we wholeheartedly recommend GIS!
Ai Goto
CHANGE Founder & volunteer, GIS parent since 2020
I am very satisfied with not only the quality of education but also the emphasis the school places on ensuring children grow up to be good global citizens. My son is in Year 4 now and he enjoys going to school to learn, to play sports (a lot of it!), and partake in many extra-curricular activities. I can see he is becoming a more well-rounded individual thanks to the teachers and faculty members at GIS!
Amy Lee
GIS parent since 2024
Being part of GIS has been a positive experience for us. Isaac and Kyra have been in GIS since EYC. Isaac is now pursuing engineering at Cambridge, while Kyra explores architecture in Year 12.
Jean Ong
GIS teacher and parent since 2009
We have found the GIS community to be vibrant, welcoming and active – with plenty of parent workshops, events and opportunities. GIS has a well-deserved excellent reputation for academic achievement, while also offering a comprehensive co-curricular program.
Both our children have had amazing opportunities to travel and represent the school in international sporting tournaments hosted by AIMS, FOBISIA and SEASAC. Our family has really enjoyed being part of the GIS community over the past 7 years.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with GIS and it’s so rewarding to see how well our daughters are thriving in their careers in London. My confidence in GIS’s guidance speaks volumes – our son is in great hands as he prepares to follows their footsteps
GIS has provided a solid foundation and consistently nurtures excellence and this is reflected in my children’s achievements be it in academics, sports and mental wellbeing.
Jessica Sidhu

GIS sets you up for the future, and my wife and I consciously chose the school to provide our children with the same exposure and develop their independent and critical thinking skills.
Taranjeet Singh
GIS Alumni and parent since 2018
Our journey with GIS began in 2019 after moving from Sydney, Australia, and it has been such a welcoming place for our family. The teachers and staff are highly qualified and also incredibly warmhearted, making a big difference in our girl’s learning experience. Our kids had so many school activities to choose from and have truly enjoyed every moment.
As a parent, I’ve also felt so included, whether through parent workshops, volunteering, or just meeting other wonderful families. I never expected to make so many great friends, both for myself and my kids. GIS has given us a strong sense of belonging and made life in Malaysia so much easier. We’re truly grateful to be part of such a supportive and caring community.

I wouldn’t have gotten into Oxford or even applied, let alone gotten the scholarship, without GIS.
