Both of my kids are at GISB, and we love it. I wanted my kids to be bilingual because I am half-Austrian, but I didn't know how much I would love the school and community. Parents are very involved, and it is a close group of people. The school is truly international, which was important to me, and there is so much attention on the kids. I also love that it is truly a bilingual school. My kids are 5 and 7, and they are fluent in both English an German.

I am a parent of three children who joined GISB last year and all three have been absolutely happy from day 1. They benefit from outstanding academics, engaging and caring teachers as well as small class sizes. The school has an amazing science and language program and an overall well-rounded curriculum. The whole family enjoys the international community, which is exceptionally friendly, welcoming and open minded.

GISB is not only our three kids’ school, but it is also our family's cultural home. All our children started in GISB preschool, and by now, our oldest daughter is studying neuroscience at Boston University, our son is writing his “Abitur" right now and will decide if he wants to study in the US or i...
