It is amazing to see how everyone in GIHE is so motivated and are working on projects that they are passionate about. There are people I’ve met all kinds of people at GIHE- friends who do not know how to answer any question non-sarcastically and teachers so down everywhere; the library, the art room, the basketball court, or even in the coordinator’s office; doing what they love and finding out to Earth, that they’ll motivate you and help you with every question you can ask and every problem you face. It’s fun. And that- the themselves along the way. This spirit of GIHE is what I find truly magical. If I were to describe the school in three words, it would be fact that you’re preparing for your colleges and your life ahead whilst simultaneously enjoying every moment of it- is a very warm ‘empowering’, ‘enlightening’ and ‘extraordinary’! reassurance that you only get at GIHE.
