My first instinct when asked to describe our high school is to say GISS is a quality school with a sense of comfort, but it’s more than that. 

 In my experience, it was easier to adjust to and settle into than other schools, in terms of getting to know the students and teachers. I just got the early impression that in general, it felt like a school that would treat you well. 


 I also notice this when new students come to the school, they are accepted by students very naturally and quickly, proving that it is easy for all types of students to fit in and find their place here.  

 Some of my friends point out that GISS offers a lot of opportunities by having many different courses that can help you out later on and lead you to the path you want to follow. 


Other friends mentioned that GISS is very stress-free and relaxed compared to other schools. One of my favorite things about our school is the way it's designed in a way that brings warmth and comfort. Every classroom has a different vibe, and is tailored to whoever teaches in that class, which I really like. 


 Overall, our school feels calm and welcoming, with lots of different activities and courses that can help guide you toward your future.
