GIED offers a comprehensive learning concept. The curricula for the elementary school and high school are based on international educational standards which have been modified to match the traditional range of subjects taught in Macedonia. This approach ensures that the pupils maintain a link to the learning and teaching culture of their country, and also ensures there is openness to the state education system. Teaching and learning activities in the educational centre in Macedonia follow the principles of:

                                           • All-day schools
                                           • Learning and teaching in multi-disciplinary teams
                                           • Individualisation of instruction
                                           • Activity-oriented teaching
                                           • Cross-discipline and discipline-linked teaching
                                           • Project-based teaching
                                           • Value orientation
                                           • Media-based forms of learning
                                           • Self-organised forms of learning
