– Senior (Grades 11–12): The IB Diploma Programme – globally recognized and externally assessed, preparing students for top universities.
To Know. To Question. To Share.
Excellence at StGIS means more than academic achievement. Our learning mantra – to know, to question, to share – guides students to develop skills, values, and a mindset aligned with the IB Learner Profile and a life of purpose.
