A year in the life of MGIS
Stories salvaged from the school's previous website — a snapshot of the events that fill a Glorian year.
Founders Day celebration
Founders Day honoured the three women who founded MGIS, and the values the school is built on: academic excellence, discipline, leadership development and holistic education.
Christmas programme
From decorations, music and dance to drama and a shared meal, the Christmas programme is a time of ceremony, pageantry and rejoicing — thanking the Lord for the school's year and remembering the reason for the season.
A Gift to Say Thank You for Life
In this December tradition, each student brings a gift, gathered and donated to orphanages and the less privileged in the community. Past donations have included school furniture, food items and a bridge constructed for four community schools.
UCMAS International Competition, Malaysia
MGIS — the first school in Côte d'Ivoire to adopt the UCMAS mental-arithmetic programme — sent its champions to Malaysia for the 2023 international competition.
Sports Day
An MGIS sports day asks every student, from Preschool to Sixth Form College, to take part in at least three sporting activities — races, javelin, high jump, shot put and discus among them.
Kiara Takoundjou — Edexcel Pearson Primary Award
Primary pupil Kiara Takoundjou received the Edexcel Pearson Primary Award for the highest primary science result in Africa, 2023. The award ceremony was held at the Holiday Inn, Accra, Ghana.
Annual traditions
The rhythm of every year
MGIS notes that it was the first school in Côte d'Ivoire to adopt UCMAS and has taken part in international competitions in this area.
The school also organises and celebrates Côte d'Ivoire Day, International Day, MUN Conference, STEAM Fair, Founders' Day, Teachers' Day, and Christmas events.
