Intensive English Academic Programme (IEAP)

The Intensive English Academic Programme (IEAP) supports non-native English students in acquiring satisfactory English proficiency before fully engaging with the rigorous IB curriculum. Unlike traditional language programmes that operate separately from the school’s core curriculum, the IGBIS learning experience is deeply embedded into the IEAP.

Students are introduced to the “language of each subject” before they learn the content, ensuring they build confidence and competence in both English and subject-specific terminology while its comprehensive student support system fosters a nurturing and inclusive environment. The programme ensures a supportive, inclusive learning environment to prepare students for success throughout their educational journey.

World-Class Facilities with a Purpose

The state-of-the-art facilities at IGBIS aren’t just impressive—they serve to enrich the educational experience. From well-equipped science labs and design technology suites to Olympic-standard sports facilities, every aspect of the campus is designed to provide students with the resources they need to explore their interests and reach their potential.

50-Metre Olympic-sized Competition Pool

An 8-lane, 50-metre pool facilitates swimming lessons for both elementary and secondary students and serves as the venue for various inter-school swimming invitationals and competitions throughout the year, such as the KLSL Swim Meet and Aquathlon.

25-Metre Shallow Learners Pool

Comes with a graded floor, this shallow pool is ideal for younger swimmers, providing a safe environment to build foundational swimming skills. The pool’s dimensions offer ample space for instructors to conduct lessons and provide individual attention to each learner, fostering a conducive atmosphere for effective teaching and improvement.

Spacious Indoor Sports Hall

Boasting three full-sized basketball, netball and volleyball courts as well as 12 badminton courts, this hall frequently hosts inter-school tournaments like the KLSL and AIMS competitions. Along with top-notch facilities, the sports hall catalyses physical development, fostering a vibrant sports culture that promotes teamwork, discipline, and athletic excellence.

Full-Sized Astro Turf Football Pitch and 400-Metre Running Track

The full-sized astroturf football pitch and a full-sized 400-metre running track on campus also provide students with a multitude of sports activities, including football and track and field disciplines such as pole vault, sprinting, and long jump. With this spacious football field and running track, they have had the privilege of hosting exhilarating track and field meets with other schools, fostering healthy competition and camaraderie.

Along with a long and triple jump pit and a shot put circle, the school’s full-size 400-metre running track of 8-lane has served as a venue for meaningful events. These events include the Terry Fox Run, where the Grade 8 students actively engage in community service, and the impactful 24-Hour Race, empowering students to take a stand against modern slavery by raising funds for organisations such as A21, dedicated to combating human trafficking and supporting child advocacy centres.

Multipurpose Theatre

Equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, the impressive 534-seater theatre offers ample versatility in staging student performances, divisional assemblies, events like TEDxIGBIS Youth where exceptional youth speakers share their unique ideas and perspectives on various topics, advocating new world views, innovative life choices, and inventive solutions, and school-wide celebrations, which are frequent occurrences in an international school as diverse as IGBIS!

Music and Drama Rooms

The school’s purpose-built music and drama rooms provide students with a supportive environment to develop their talents in the performing arts while also learning essential skills such as teamwork and creative expression. The music rooms are well-equipped with a variety of instruments, including pianos, guitars, drums, and other percussion instruments, offering a rich space for musical exploration. Meanwhile, the drama rooms serve as an inspiring sanctuary for students to delve into the world of theatrical performance, honing their acting skills and creativity. Both spaces foster an environment where students can grow artistically and personally, gaining confidence and collaboration skills along the way.

Art Studios

Serving as hubs for creativity, the art studios at IGBIS foster an appreciation for visual expression and allow students to showcase their creative works during the Grade 12 Final Exhibition and the MYP Visual Art Exhibition while gaining problem-solving and critical thinking skills, skills that are valuable both within and outside of academic settings.

Design Technology and Maker Space Rooms

Design technology and maker space rooms develop “design thinking” and support hands-on learning, giving students the chance to engage in self-driven projects such as lighting design, woodworking, and CNC embroidery.

Everton International Academy

In an unparalleled partnership with Everton Football Club, a distinguished Premier League club and a founding member of the Football League, the Everton International Academy is for young athletes aged 3 to 17, integrating Everton’s renowned football development processes and global experience into the school’s sports curriculum, providing top-tier football training and development opportunities.
