Our teaching staff

GIS is known for attracting educators who are adventurous, driven, and enthusiastic, and 100 percent of our faculty hold advanced degrees.
We are proud to employ gifted, passionate educators who encourage intellectual curiosity and demand the most from their students. Our teachers are nationals of various continents (Europeans, Africans, Asians…), they taught students in specific subject in which they are specialized.

Faculty excellence is the core of the GIS experience, and the teaching does not stop when the school day ends. Our teachers are also dorm parents, coaches, advisors, and trip leaders, and they come to know their students in meaningful ways both in and out of the classroom. What stands out most to students is the way their teachers care about them.
As one recent graduate explained, “The relationships between students and faculty are unlike those at any other school, and this really made GIS feel like a home with adults I knew I could trust and talk to about anything.”

GIS established the GATEWAY Master Teacher Award in order to monthly recognize an outstanding teacher who represents a high standard of professional pedagogy, possesses advanced subject-area knowledge, has a capacity to convey the joy and importance of learning to students, and demonstrates a fundamental sympathy with the aims and goals of GIS as expressed in the Paideia.
