High School
Stage Principal Welcome
Dear parents and students,
I would like to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year. This academic year brings a range of changes and some new exciting things in high school. The highlight of these incudes a new state of art campus that is not only spacious, but also equipped with the latest technology for students and staff to use.
As I begin my first year as high school principal, I am energized and deeply committed to making a difference in the lives of our youngsters. My staff and I will accomplish this by setting high academic expectations and providing supportive systems to assure they are met. This year we will focus on a positive school culture, setting high standards for teachers' performance, and engaging our GPIS community while increasing our students’ academic expectations.
I am pleased to share that this academic year we will prepare for MUN, stage a play and welcome musical performances from our multi-talented students. While we embrace the challenges of the future, we will continue to cherish and celebrate the traditions of the past. Our remarkable staff-parent-student commitment will continue to make GPIS a wonderful and unique place.
I look forward to working together as we strive toward a successful 2023-2024.
Sincerely,
Linda Haliti
We aim to earn the trust and respect of our students. We believe that this is essential to creating a positive rapport that will help them develop and shine. We understand our students' learning styles and tailor our teaching methods to them as much as possible. We seek to provide individual attention to students. We believe that it is the best way to assess their levels of understanding and find out who has difficulties so we can address them.
As teachers and staff, we continue learning and implementing positive methods. We always pick our students’ brains and push them to think critically and outside the box. We set individual SMART goals for our students because we believe that they will reach their full potential.
Our curriculum is structured to stimulate creative thinking and develop the minds of our students to become inquirers and risk-takers, we develop our students to take well-educated decisions.
Accordingly, our curriculum is planned around activities and rigor to promote learning, personal growth, and development. It includes not only the emphasis on the four core subjects (English, math, science, and social studies) but also the range of extra electives that gives our students the chance to study new things that will target their creativity and future studies. At the core of our curriculum is the belief that all students must become avid and expert readers.
We at GPIS have high expectations of the steady and continuous improvement of student reading and writing.
