Principal’s Message
Dear Parents
“Education is about awakening –Awakening to the power and beauty that lies within all of us”
Education is not just about bricks, mortar and concrete, but about building character, enriching minds and about varied experiences that last a lifetime.
GDGIS has earned a reputation of academic excellence through the hard work of our students, teachers, parents, and staff. We support numerous challenging academic courses, an outstanding athletic program, Performing and Visual Arts program (PVA) and various school clubs for students. We encourage you to experience our school culture, one that is focused on providing students with the academic and social resources that will prepare them to achieve their post-secondary goals.
We believe that it is important for our students to be connected to school through positive relationships and a strong sense of community. I believe that every student can learn and be successful if provided the right support and opportunities. Our teachers and staff are committed to providing all students with an appropriate and challenging educational experience in a respectful environment that fosters learning and growth.
We, at GDGIS, practice RICRAC behavior. The RICRAC acronym is used to remind students & parents “Responsibility, Integrity, Caring, Respectful, Academic and Cooperative”. These values, we believe, will enable our students to take a leadership role in learning and in life.
There is a commitment to an integrated curriculum approach through inquiry learning. The development of higher order thinking skills, risk taking, adaptability, cooperation, and communication techniques are fostered.
I expect sincere cooperation from parents and guardians for the attainment of school’s objectives.
School Vision:
HIGHER, STRONGER, BRIGHTER towards Academic and Human excellence.
School Mission:
“We commit to accomplish our vision with utmost Dedication”.
But, without the support of our dear parents this is impossible. Teachers, parents and students work as team. A unique support system is developed when we work as a team.
I hope that all, (Parents, students and Teachers) would desire to become part of this timely and unique educational experience.
