Student Life @ GGIS |
|
|
|
Since its founding in 1991,
GGIS has been committed to the idea of Christian education.
In our complex and rapidly changing world, a good Christian education
prepares students to face the unpredictable future, not by training them for particular
careers, but by teaching them how to learn. GGIS strives to develop in its students
the practical abilities they need to contribute to society while ensuring that their
education will enable them to deal with the unexpected turns society will take.
At its most fundamental level, however, GGIS's purpose is to instill in its
students an affection for learning that leads to development of their intellectual,
creative, and moral capacities throughout the whole of their lives.

A student's learning
experience goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. Students learn not just about academics,
but themselves as well.
At GGIS, students learn about who they are and what lies ahead for them. We
provide students with opportunities for all areas and aspects of their life.
Through small classes, our teachers are able to provide each student with the
attention they need.
