History

GIIS' first campus at Cheviot Hill was established by Global Schools Foundation in 2002 with just 48 students,^[4] with the aim of providing education to the expatriate community in Singapore.^[5][6] A new campus, PG Smart Campus, was initially planned to start its operations in July 2018, having the capacity of 3,000 students. The Queenstown and Balestier campus later shut down to merge with the new campus. ^[7] The school has since expanded across South East Asia, Japan, Middle East and India throughout the years.
