Curriculum and academics
GLIS delivers the Cambridge curriculum, building through the primary and lower secondary stages towards the Cambridge IGCSE and then Cambridge International A Levels. The Cambridge pathway is modular and internationally portable, which suits families who may move again, and GLIS layers on project based and enterprise learning alongside the core subjects. The A Level stage keeps university options open in the United Kingdom, the Philippines and further afield, and the school emphasis on global perspectives and communication is pitched at parents who want more than examination results. Because it is a Cambridge school rather than an IB one, it pairs naturally with other Cambridge schools worldwide.
