Small Classes. More Attention

At GIS, classes are limited to a maximum of 10-15 students.

That means your child is less likely to disappear into the crowd. Teachers have the time to know each student properly — how they learn, where they're progressing well and where they may need extra support or greater challenge.

More Individual Attention

In a smaller class, students have more opportunities to ask questions, take part in discussions and get individual feedback.

If a student hasn't understood something, the teacher is more likely to notice early. If they're ready to move further, that can be recognised too.

Your child should not have to struggle quietly or wait weeks for someone to realise they need help.

Teachers Who Know Their Students

Knowing a student means more than knowing their name.

It means understanding how they learn, recognising changes in their work or behaviour and knowing when something may need attention.

Children have good days and difficult days. When teachers know their students well, they're in a better position to notice those changes and respond.

Parents Stay Informed

Parents should never have to wonder how their child is progressing.

Working with a smaller number of students allows teachers to build a clearer picture of each child's learning and communicate with families when something needs attention.

If there's a concern, we want to discuss it early. If your child is making particularly strong progress, we want you to know that too.

More Opportunities to Participate

Not every child finds it easy to speak in a large classroom.

A smaller class can make it easier for students to ask questions, express their ideas and take an active part in lessons.

Over time, students can become more comfortable contributing, explaining their thinking and working with others.

Why Small Classes Matters

For GIS, 10-15 students per class isn't a marketing number. It's a deliberate decision about how we want children to experience school.

It gives teachers more time to teach, observe, support, challenge and communicate.

Most importantly, it means your child is known.
