Higher Education Progression

A university guidance counselor is available year‑round to help students plan their IB pathway and prepare for university. The school identifies standardized tests required for admission, such as the SAT, TOEFL, IELTS, and DELF, and provides DELF preparation support. Students access top international universities through partnerships and networks; examples of universities chosen by alumni are noted. For Tunisian public universities, the Ministry issues an equivalence decision on request, and the guidance service assists with this process.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school fosters character development with kindness and professionalism. The School Council offers programs and activities to support character development. The IB learner profile is a set of attributes developed through the IB program. The profile reflects the IB philosophy of developing engaged, curious, reflective, and creative learners with a strong sense of ethics. IB learners are encouraged to learn and celebrate their own cultural heritage as well as the heritage of other cultures. IB graduates are prepared to face contemporary global challenges and to contribute positively to society.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school offers specialized programs for learning French and Arabic. The Arabic program for non-Arabophones, Louغati, is designed to facilitate progressive acquisition of Arabic and adapts to each student's needs. The school is committed to a tri-lingual model in which students master English, Arabic and French and acquire skills in at least a fourth language chosen between Spanish and German. Arabic and French are taught from early childhood, and English is compulsory from the age of five.

Mental Wellbeing

The General School Counselor and the team of education aides collaborate with the teaching staff and parents to enable students to express their cognitive and emotional potential. Counselors are present year-round and attentive to students' well-being, and they monitor attendance and adherence to the rules. The General Counselor is the main point of contact for teachers and parents to clarify any situation. They also offer workshops to contribute to character development. Counselors supervise activities and events in School Life and facilitate access to services such as boarding, cafeteria, and transportation. Counselors are available to assist via the student diary, the EDX interface, or by appointment.

Safeguarding

Counselors oversee activities and events in School Life to ensure a safe, secure environment that supports student development, and collaborate with staff and parents to address any inappropriate situations and to safeguard student welfare.

Admissions

Admissions

1. Review admissions policy and criteria. The school welcomes motivated students and aims to build an international community that values individuals from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of talents and interests. It considers the child as a whole, evaluating cognitive abilities as well as the capacity to contribute to and participate in the school's social and cultural life. The admissions dossier includes the student's academic record, results from evaluation tests, recommendations, and interviews. 2. Understand the selective admission process. Admission is selective and not guaranteed because the school is independent; families must follow a standard application process. Students are admitted based on availability and the criteria of aptitude, achievement, and character. The process requires following the school's standard application steps to be considered for enrollment. 3. Know the candidate profile considered by the admissions committee. Among qualified candidates, the admissions committee gives particular attention to applicants from diverse regions of southern Tunisia and from foreign countries; children who are dependents of GSING employees; siblings who are enrolled or applying concurrently; and children whose parents have relocated to Djerba through partner companies or organizations. This policy reflects standard practice and does not constitute a guarantee of admission or contractual obligation. 4. Enroll after admission through the formal process. If admitted, enrollment is completed through the school's standard procedures. There is online pre-registration for the Primary, Middle (PEI), and Diploma (DP) programs for the 2025/2026 cycle via dedicated online forms. An enrollment calendar guides the registration timeline, and pre-registration forms exist for PP, PEI, and DP.
