A transformed campus delivering consistent outcomes
For Gaborone International School (GIS), transformation is about more than new buildings and improved facilities.
It is about creating an environment where learners can discover their potential, develop confidence and prepare for an ever-changing world.
Since becoming part of Advtech, Africa’s Leading Educational provider, GIS has benefited from significant investment in its campus, including a modern science and technology centre, upgraded computer laboratories, enhanced sports facilities, improved road infrastructure and refreshed learning spaces. These developments have strengthened the learning environment and ensure that learners have access to facilities that support both academic and personal growth. These investments bolster a much broader educational strategy. In a rapidly changing world, education must do more than keep pace with change. It must equip young people with the knowledge, skills and character needed to navigate new opportunities with confidence and purpose.
As a member of the Advtech International Schools Group, GIS benefits from the scale, expertise and resources of one of Africa's leading private education groups. This includes access to specialist academic support teams, internationally benchmarked assessments, personalised learning platforms, teacher development programmes, career guidance resources and advanced school management systems. These are not introduced as educational trends or short-term initiatives, but as carefully selected tools and programmes that help deliver consistent, measurable outcomes for learners.
The impact is evident in the school's strong PSLE and IGCSE results, alongside achievements in sport, leadership, and extracurricular activities. By combining quality teaching, modern facilities and proven educational systems, GIS provides a learning experience that prepares students not only for examinations, but for success beyond the classroom.
As part of a network spanning Botswana, Kenya and Ethiopia, learners and staff also benefit from collaboration across schools, exposure to diverse perspectives and the sharing of educational best practice across the continent.
The GIS motto, "Through Excellence We Rise," reflects this commitment to developing capable, confident and future-ready learners, guided by values of growth, integrity, generosity of spirit and excellence.
