Established in Muhaisnah 1 in 2006, our mission is to promote a sustainable, learner-centric atmosphere that champions academic excellence, well-being, and holistic growth. At GIS, every student is empowered to be a socially responsible, lifelong learner, equipped as a global, digital citizen ready to lead with resilience in a dynamic world.

Our curriculum is carefully crafted to align with both American (CCSS & Michigan state standards) and UAE MOE requirements, ensuring a comprehensive educational experience from KG1 through Grade 12. Our dedicated team of professional educators employs learner-centric approaches in the teaching-learning process, ensuring that each student’s needs are met and supported. Moreover, our state-of-the-art technology integration in classrooms optimizes students’ learning experience.

In addition to academic rigor, Greenwood International School places a high premium on co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. These activities are integrated into the curriculum to provide students with opportunities for holistic development. From sports and arts to community involvement initiatives, our diverse range of extra-curricular offerings ensures that students have the chance to explore their interests and talents outside the classroom.
