Get Your Kids Future-Ready With GESS – International School

Our children are likely to step into a world that’s very different from the one we grew up in. And that’s why GESS — International School is doing its bit to futureproof our kids.

This school is certainly working hard to get your kids prepared for what lies ahead. It offers various internship programmes, a vast wealth of knowledge from career counsellors and pastoral care to support students through the critical years leading up to their graduation. But, what makes this Singapore school such an attractive option is that it allows continuous enrolment, so your children can join at any time in the academic year.

How GESS gets your kids future-ready

BeyondClassrooms

The newly-launched BeyondClassrooms programme connects high school students with leading organisations such as Volocopter, BMW, Siemens, Evonik, Danfoss and more. Through industry talks, career counselling and site visits, these bright learners get direct exposure to various industries. The first-ever BeyondClassrooms internship started at BMW Group Asia this year and more opportunities will be available next year.

Career Counsellors

Helping students make informed decisions, GESS’ dedicated team of career counsellors runs signature annual activities, such as the University Career Fair. This year, there were more than 70 academic institutions on campus to speak with students and parents, and a Career Information Exchange where children interacted with industry partners. With a strong alumni network, GESS’ Alumni Programme lets former pupils share insights and advice with current ones.

Mentoring and Coaching at GESS

GESS is a big believer in the power of mentoring and coaching in education as it cultivates a relationship of trust and support between teachers and students. The school personalises the programme to every student’s needs promoting a truly positive learning culture. With the right guidance, students learn to set effective goals for themselves, have periodic reviews and receive the necessary tools to progress, personally and academically. These life skills will stand them in good stead in the years to come.

Is GESS the right fit for your child? No matter which part of the world you are from, it’s quite likely that GESS will be one of your top choices! There are options for students to study their home languages, making it the ideal choice for expat families moving to Singapore. Though it started as a school for European expats, it now also offers Mandarin, Japanese, Korean and Hindi mother-tongue programmes.

GESS offers a choice between the International Baccalaureate (IB) and German curricula for students from 2 to 18 years. It is a not-for-profit international school and the school is proud that every dollar is reinvested into resources for students.
