Student Life

Life at GIS goes well beyond the classroom. Our students celebrate traditions together, take part in clubs and sport, and share special events throughout the year.

Celebrating Special Days

At GIS we celebrate Korean and international traditions together. In September our Primary students marked Chuseok in hanbok, with kite making, clicker crafts, songpyeon and a Tuho tournament.
