Welcome to GIA
The White family was attracted to GIA because of the school's focus on entrepreneurship and its project management style of hands-on learning. During the school tour, Mrs. White was impressed that the teachers seemed more interested in the scholars learning and understanding, rather than giving test after test.
Welcome to GIA - White family!
