Meet our mascot
Welcome Cody!
Welcome Cody
On May 15, 2025, a very special member joined the GIS family. His name is Cody, and he’s more than just a mascot he’s a symbol of creativity, connection, and the adventurous spirit that defines GIS.
Where Cody Comes From
The name Cody has Irish origins and means “helper” or “protector.”
It’s a fitting name for someone who represents friendship, courage, and the support we give one another as a community. Cody reminds us that no one at GIS walks alone—we grow, learn, and thrive together.
Born from Student Imagination
Cody’s journey began in 2024 when GIS students from São Paulo and Monza were invited to help imagine the mascot for our GIS Schools. From sketches and ideas full of personality and heart, one stood out—a unique creation by a talented student from GIS Monza.
Inspired by her drawing, Cody came to life—carrying the joy, imagination, and spirit of our global community. He is a reminder that our students are the true creators and dreamers behind everything we do.
Why Cody Matters
Cody is here not just to cheer us on at school events or decorate our notebooks—he’s here to inspire. He stands for:
• Curiosity – Asking questions, exploring the world, and learning without limits
• Kindness – Supporting others, being a good friend, and creating a safe, welcoming space
• Courage – Trying new things, taking risks, and growing from every experience
Whether you’re a student, teacher, or parent, Cody is here to remind you: Be bold, be kind, and always keep learning.
Welcome, Cody!
We’re so proud to welcome Cody as the official mascot of GIS . His story started with a student’s imagination—and now, he’s here to inspire many more stories to come.
