GIIS started in September 2002 and now has grown to 20 schools with thousands of children. The Global Schools Foundation and its Global Indian International Schools have become a symbol of pride for Indian Education abroad. The main thrust of the Global Indian Foundation has been to advance education and research for knowledge.

The GIIS schools represent the quest for excellence in learning and have emerged as leading schools combining the best education practices of USA, UK, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore with the Indian education.

In Japan, GIIS schools are sought after by Japanese students, so much so that Government of Yokohama has invited GIIS to set-up a school in the city of Yokohama. The Singapore Government invited GIIS to set-up schools in Singapore. Malaysian leaders have invited GIIS to establish schools in Malaysia.

By redefining our sense of what is possible in international education, we believe these education partners have the potential to spark dramatic changes in high quality education so that our students are successfully prepared for college, career and global citizenship.

I am pleased to note that GIIS schools have continued to promote Gandhian values and thoughts by establishing Mahatma Gandhi centres - these help children understand social transformation through the ideals so cherished by Gandhiji. Through values that are deeply rooted in India and yet find a resounding echo in the world at large, we will continue to create new generations who are not just ready for their future, but the world’s too.
