"My son goes to this school since 2015, what I observed is, pathetic principal, who should look after education but looking after buildings, avoids meeting with parents. Recently one incident happened. One child was kicked by a teacher in the classroom and when parents asked the cctv footprints, school did not provide it. Teachers tick right even though children write wrong answers and I can go on. So be careful. "

"Pathetic school and even worse management. No teachers for classes for 6 months due to high attrition. Fee hiked by more than 50% in a year. Poor attitude towards children and their progress. Stay away from a pathetic school like this. "

"My Son is studying in KG2 in GIIS Bangalore. I had admitted him in primary. Its almost more than 2.5 years in the school, but academically I can say that its just an average school with highest fees in its category 9 not comparing international schools). Even kids from low end schools like Vagdevi villas and Sri Sri Ravi shankar schools are very bright academically. I thought that its OK for academics, but there will be some Extra Curricular activity, but I was shocked when other schools have Projectors in each class room, GIIS have none, only cracked, unpainted and with fungus walls. For this they have AV rooms and they proudly boast that we have AV rooms(what a shame) Seriously school need some maintenance. All web reviews are marketing gimmick. Only advice to school is to spend some money from school fees on these not only creating infrastructure and new buildings. We parents are getting fooled to fund your new buildings. If you need review please talk to real parents (if possible). "

Bangalore Nursery to Class V Admissions Notification (2013-2014 Sessions)

"Hi Parents , I like to highly recommend this school, my twin kids studying here has something new to talk everyday, GIIS have well lubed and tested curriculum (CBSE) with activities which is fun filled for kids. When I first visited them in Nov-2012 they were in construction mode, after referring the web on them and feedback from other global school, even tho it was far from existing school , I took the risk of sending my twin Girl kids to this very new school at Bangalore. I promise you my gut decision has paid out very well. I am Happy about their transport which was more impt on Pick-up-drop points . Principle Ramesh Mudgal is very polite and friendly guy to interact with , they have both Kannada and Hindi as Second Language. My daughters have taken Kannada as second language( Well it is always best to teach one's mother tongue first , then you can learn any language you like) they have a friendly Kannada teacher luckily who is also a writer himself. During joining I had requested to split-ted them to different sections(of 1st Grade) to make them independent. Both the class teachers are Good and keeps the class happy. Overall I can say GIIS is Outstanding to me till date. "

"Hi Shardul – Thank you for your input after recent parents meeting with principal. I understand that you are actually referring to the comments posted in above ‘recommendations’ section. Yes, you are right, those comments doesn't represent the true picture of current situation as school is set to open in near future. However, I figured out that, the when web site created, the creator must have copied those comments from other GIIS school which is successfully running and has created success record. I ignored that content as marketing strategy, however those are the comments written to generate curiosity in parents to bring them for school visit. Having said that, my observations and recommendations in my previous column came from the research I did using Internet, YouTube GIIS videos and my interaction with other parents who is already sending their kids to GIIS in different parts of the world. Since the school staff is not hired yet, I was very particular about their hiring process. In my one on one interaction with Mr.Mudgal, he was clear and confident about his hiring process and also mentioned that the hired staff would go through 80 hour training course with him. I was very much satisfied as I noticed the passion and confidence in his response. Well, once the school is open, we can always revisit our decision and check how far school stood by its words. Regarding the transportation, I was concerned about connecting points rather than security, as I took it for granted that ‘safety’ is school’s ultimate priority along with education. I hope they will continue to maintain safety standards on par with any other reputed in school in Bangalore area. Perhaps, they might lease or rent the transportation buses for the first year, I am Okay with it as long as safety measures are met. We couldn’t attend the latest principal-parents interaction meeting, but we receive updated thorough other channels. We request management to arrange interaction section before commencing the school and update us with school bus routes and their future plans. My honest feeling is, So far, things are going on right direct direction. Best wishes to other parents and kids. Also wish that GIIS will establish its mark in Bangalore with the hope that the management will not turn down on us and will be as successful as it in other parts of the world. Good Luck everybody.

"We have taken admission for my Son here based on initial talks with staff. As mentioned by few folks here, I don't understand how parents have arrived at observations, regarding teaching staff and methods of teaching, as the school is just starting in bangalore this year. This is misleading. As per the talk by principal last week, they are yet to close on faculty. The only concern and one of the deciding factor we had was the school transport. Initially at Kormangala indoor stadium education expo, we were told that school is going to have own transport and not leased/rented one. The same was communicated to us back in dec last year, but we came to know in talk with principal that the transport will be rented/leased. I really wish that the management takes care of maintaining standards related to safety and security. Rest all excellent. I like the statement by management : "In Nursery/KG/Mont child should come happily to school and go happily". "

" We have done extensive research to find a very decent school for my 8 year old son's transition from 3rd Grade (USA). Our major concern is, having born here and spent 8 years in USA, we just want to make sure that his future his school would be able to support his successful transition. So, that is my fundamental requirement as far my son is concerned and my personal concern is the fee structure. Keeping these two factors in view, we have visited the school during our Bangalore trip. We visited the campus and had very detailed talk with principal as well as their staff members. The principal himself was returning from Singapore and some of his staff as well. We took school campus touring. The infrastructure works seems to be going as per their expectations and the staff and principal were very open and seems to be transparent in sharing all their views and plans. We reached out to some parents who have prior exposure to the GIIS in different parts of the world. Based on their input and our personal observation; we decided to move on with GIIS. Now we are back in USA, but I have experience great relief after my visit to the school. We have completed initial admission process and my son is all set and very excited to go to GIIS. Just to mention, we have seen other schools as well which are equally good or (may be better). But, I am totally satisfied as this school saftisfies our requirements in terms of curriculum, activities and ofcourse fee all together. "

"I certainly agree with Ramesh Mohan that school is set to open this year in June 2013 then how we already have comments about teaching and other activities in the school. I have taken admission for my daughter for 2nd Std based on their existing presence in india and out of India, their curriculum looks impressive. I have personally visited their campus before taking admission, it is under construction, school building and classes were almost ready and furniture work was going on. It will certainly take time for them to develope the landscape and ground for other activities. Staff was extremely good, my daughter felt comfertable with the teacher and the other staff infact she did some activities and returned with couple of gifts. Hoping to have a right decission of switching the school."
