Supporting our Students
Student Well-being
GIS is committed to creating a safe environment where all students can thrive and reach their potential.
Student well-being is a core value at GIS. Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) helps learners develop positive identities, a sense of belonging, and personal agency. Through SEL, students acquire the skills and attitudes to manage emotions, set and achieve goals, show empathy and respect, build supportive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
