Principal’s Welcome

A warm welcome from Grit Cichon, Acting Principal

Our students and their development are at the heart of what we do. We give them skills and values that equip them for the modern world, while allowing space for them to develop their individual personalities.

We place great emphasis on multilingualism by creating an environment where they can learn and use different languages. The diversity of our student body is reflected in our community and creates a dynamic and inclusive learning environment.

We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest standards so that our students leave GSIS ready to make the world a better place after university study. We are proud of our school’s reputation and long history as a high-achieving, reliable school for the German International Abitur (DIA) and International Baccalaureate (IB). Yet we remain focused on preparing students, who are critical thinkers, to be enterprising young people who care about a sustainable world for the future.

It is a beautiful and fulfilling task to accompany them along their path to becoming responsible young adults and we are united with parents in ensuring our students are nurtured to realise the very best of their abilities.

There is so much to celebrate at GSIS - friendly, engaged, and curious students, supportive staff who go the extra mile, and an exciting and challenging learning environment. I hope this introduction gives a flavour of what a GSIS education can offer in both the German and English International Streams. We look forward to welcoming you to our school to find out more.
