On Campus
Garden International School Facilities
At GIS, our students are offered the very best facilities to help them to maximise their learning opportunities, enabling them to thrive. From specialist learning areas to our newly designed Sixth Form Centre, our campus has it all covered.
LEARNING ENVIROMENT
Specialist Learning Areas
Our extensive facilities have been carefully designed to ensure our students are provided the best opportunities for learning. This includes thirteen well equipped Science laboratories, state-of-the-art Design and Technology workshops, a STEM room in our Primary School, a PMP (Perceptual Motor Programme) Room and a range of outdoor learning areas.
Study and Socialising
Sixth Form Centre
Sophisticated in its design and with a university-style atmosphere, our recently renovated Sixth Form Centre offers the very best in terms of space and resources, providing a superb opportunity for our students to maximise their learning, increase their enjoyment of school life and prepare for the transition to undergraduate studies.
Learning Resources
Libraries
Our extensive and beautifully designed libraries, across EYC, Primary and Secondary, are well stocked and offer a broad, diverse range of spaces and resources- both physical and online- for the use and enjoyment of our broader GIS community.
Sport and Fitness
Sports Facilities & Fitness Centre
We place an emphasis on personal development and offer a broad range of opportunities for students to learn outside the classroom. What's more, we encourage active participation in sports and recreational activities through facilities which are specially designed for use in the tropics. These include our Sports Hall, All-weather Football Field and Tennis Courts, 25m 8 lane Swimming Pool, Covered Hard Courts and Gymansium with Weight Training Room.
Creative Environment
Art, Music and Drama Facilities
Our state-of-the-art facilities provide students with excellent opportunities to flourish within the creative arts. The Performing Arts block is home to all Art, Drama and Music lessons.
Facilities include Drama performance halls and practice spaces, as well as our state of the art immersive Drama Studio. In Art, Primary and Secondary art studios and facilities are available, including a fully equipped photography studio and excellent ceramics facilities. The Art department is also home to an open plan sixth form studio where our A level students have their own workspace. Students also have access to industry-standard ICT to support Filmmaking and Photography. In Music, there is a variety of ensemble rooms and practice rooms, including an orchestra rehearsal room with a full orchestral percussion set. The recent addition of a music technology suite also means that students can work creatively on composition and music production using current technologies.
Specialist Environment
Design & Technology Labs
Our Design and Technology department is well resourced to encourage innovation, with specialist labs enabling access to industry standard ICT to support design. Students are given the opportunity to develop traditional engineering hand skills, as well as use a range of new technologies such as laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC routers, milling machines and centre lathes. Access to these facilities ensures that students develop a very broad skill base, which is essential for higher learning and industry.
Embracing Technology
Digital Environment
We are an innovative school that uses technology effectively to enhance learning and communication across our school community. As an Apple Distinguished School, with students, staff and parents using Google Suite across all areas of learning, we have implemented wireless access points and Apple TV in all classrooms, as well as interactive projectors which are installed widely across the school. In EYC and Primary, Macbooks and iPads are deployed across the classrooms, and from Year 3 upwards, students bring their own device to school (iPads for Years 3-9; Macbooks for Year 10 and above).
