As the mother to 3 young children, I’ve had the opportunity to explore many different schools — and none compare to GISD. The teachers at GISD are warm, generous, and have cared about my kids as if they were their own. Every day at GISD is an adventure for my kids — creating art, learning new German words and customs, learning about the moon from famous guests including a German astronaut (!), or simply having fun on the playground. The GISD’s children’s play on St. Martin’s Day in late autumn is a family favorite.

Parents

Our 4-year old daughter is beginning her 4th year at GISD. We have been beyond pleased with GISD teachers and administrators. What parent would object to loving, dedicated teachers, to organic meals and snacks, daily outdoor recreation (rain or shine) in a protected and safe area? What parent wouldn’t want to see an immersive language development experience and planned school curriculum with teachers who are committed and not stressed out? GISD is fortunate too to have dedicated families and a progressive asset-improvement program. Just today, on the way to GISD, our daughter asked hopefully if today was her long day (we signed on for 2 days a week of after-school care). To our joy, our daughter playfully wants to stay even when it’s time to go home. By all measures, we couldn’t be more pleased with GISD.

Gregg and Silvia Corella

Our 3-year old son, Buddy, started his second year at German ISD (GISD) this Fall and our nine-month old daughter, Isabela, is on the waitlist to start with the Koalas in 2020. We love GISD, because its teachers focus on developing social skills and building confidence for their charges in a complete German immersion program. Plus, it maintains a wonderful, small school environment, where the students, faculty, and parents all know each other and interact regularly and easily in a world reminiscent of my own upbringing in a small town in Leinfelden, Germany.

German ISD is a true gem in DFW, for any parents interested in giving their little ones a loving, stimulating, and always interesting learning environment!

Parents of three four children

The German International School of Dallas has been a wonderful experience for my daughter and the entire family. The love and passion the teachers have in instructing your students in German is bountiful and comforting for a mother whose toddler is going away to school for the first time. The entire staff has been helpful, kind, and genuine. I am grateful to have discovered GISD and highly recommend it to others!

Christiane Turner (Koala parent),

Before having my son , I was a Giraffen teacher at GISD for 3.5 years.

I truly enjoyed working in such a family-like environment with an emphasis on building strong relationships with the children and their families. Now I am looking forward to my son being old enough to start his German ISD journey , where I know he will be treated according to the individual he is, with his strengths being promoted and highlighted and his weaknesses being accepted and worked with.
