From Kindergarten to Grade 2, Fast-Track and Leap Ahead with Confidence at GIIS
By GIIS
November 2025
We understand that every child learns at their own pace. Each child also has their own learning style, but with the right guidance and support, they can achieve remarkable progress in a short time. This is our philosophy at Global Indian International School (GIIS), and with Bridge to Grade 2, we ensure that every child gets the best out of their education journey.
Our Bridge to Grade 2 is a special, three-month course designed for Kindergarten graduates who are ready to take the next big step in their academic journey. It includes accelerated learning for students to gain a faster route to Grade 2.
Fast-Track to Success
With over 20 years of success in helping children transition smoothly from Kindergarten to primary school, Bridge to Grade 2 is reputable and trustworthy. Created for students who have completed Kindergarten, this initiative allows them to start Grade 1 in January 2026 and, within just three months, advance to Grade 2 by April 2026.
Students will be able to master key Grade 1 concepts without missing out on crucial foundational learning, effectively saving an entire academic year. This unique and robust pathway helps nurture students to become fully prepared and confident learners, to smoothly transit to Grade 2.
How Bridge to Grade 2 Works
Bridge students join exclusive Grade 1 classes led by experienced educators who specialise in differentiated instruction. Lessons are carefully structured to cover essential Grade 1 skills in Literacy, Mathematics, and Core Learning Areas, ensuring every child builds the confidence and competence needed to thrive in Grade 2.
It also uses hands-on, engaging teaching methods that encourage understanding, not just memorisation. Students benefit from small class sizes, individual attention, and an encouraging environment that keeps them motivated to learn.
