Good Shepherd International School Overview

The Good Shepherd International School (GSIS) is recognized as one of India's best schools. It was founded in 1977 by the late Dr. P.C. Thomas and Mrs. Elsamma Thomas. Originally known as the Good Shepherd Public School, it became an international school of the highest calibre of learning in 1995. Dr. P.C. Thomas and his wife, Elsamma Thomas, both started their careers as teachers themselves, which inspired their vision and goal to create the best educational institution where a child can learn and grow.

The school's motto is "Truth, Trust, and Triumph," and students are encouraged to practice secular and ethical values in an atmosphere where every creed and faith coexists in harmony. The students are educated in a way that helps them flourish in an environment without inhibition and prejudice in any form. GSIS offers three renowned curriculums: Cambridge IGCSE, ICSE & ISC, IB Diploma, IB Primary Years (PYP), and IB Middle Years (MYP). The school aims to set high standards of excellence in academics, sports, and co-curricular activities, and the students and staff share a vision to scale new heights in the field of education.

Nestled in the serene Nilgiris Hills and spread over 150 acres, the picturesque campus provides the ideal environment in which to learn, play, grow, and develop the skills for a lifetime of learning. Located about 7000 feet above sea level, the weather is cool and temperate throughout the year, with each season distinctly experienced, making it an ideal setting for children to play sports and enjoy nature and many outdoor activities.
