Twenty years ago, Guru Teg Bahadur International School (GTBIS) embarked on its educational journey with humble beginnings, igniting a lamp of knowledge that has since grown into a beacon of excellence. Established in 2004 with just 173 students and six rooms, the school has flourished remarkably, now educating over 2000 students.

The primary objective of GTBIS has always been to promote education while elevating educational standards. This commitment to excellence has garnered national recognition, with the school ranking 10th among the best schools in Punjab according to Digital Learning Magazine’s survey of schools in India.

The school prides itself on its emphasis on classroom teaching, actively discouraging tuitions and ensuring that teachers are readily available to resolve students’ academic challenges both inside and outside the classroom. This dedication has reflected in the school’s exceptional 100% results in all ICSE exams, attributed to the collective efforts of the school management, staff, parents, and students.

GTBIS stands out as a leading educational institution in the Northern Territory, committed to providing every student with a comprehensive education that prepares them for life beyond school. Embodying core values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Cooperation, and Achievement, the school fosters a ‘Learning Community’ where staff, students, alumni, and parents actively participate in all aspects of school life.

To ensure continuous professional development, GTBIS regularly organizes workshops and training sessions for teachers, focusing on the latest learning, teaching, and evaluation techniques. These initiatives aim to enhance teaching effectiveness and keep educators abreast of evolving educational practices.

Beyond academics, GTBIS students excel in extracurricular activities, participating enthusiastically in competitions organized by schools and social organizations. Their notable achievements in these events highlight the school’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals capable of excelling beyond academics.

Promoting holistic development, GTBIS emphasizes physical fitness through daily PT exercises and organizes inter-house tournaments in various sports, fostering a spirit of healthy competition and sportsmanship among students. The school also encourages participation in ICSE organized tournaments, further enriching students’ extracurricular experiences.

GTBIS takes pride in its wide-ranging educational programs and outstanding record of success in the Northern Territory, empowering students to pursue their interests and strengths to achieve their personal best. Beyond traditional academics, the school encourages students to engage fully in a diverse co-curricular program encompassing sports, performing arts, leadership activities, vocational education, and debating.
