Introducing GISC High School – Grade 9 Enrollment Now Open

We are pleased to share that Grade 9 enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year is now open as we expand our academic pathway with the launch of GISC High School.
 
Beginning with Grade 9 in 2026-2027, our High School will grow consecutively each year, with our first graduating class expected in 2030.
 
GISC students will graduate with both a U.S. High School Diploma and – subject to IB Diploma Programme (DP) authorization – the Mixed-Language Bilingual IB Diploma (GIB-Diplom). This distinctive program prepares students for success at universities and in careers around the world.

The GISC High School Advantage

Global Recognition
The Mixed-Language Bilingual IB Diploma is internationally recognized and equivalent to the German Abitur, providing access to leading universities worldwide – including tuition-free and low-tuition universities in Germany and other European countries.
 
Academic Excellence
The International Baccalaureate (IB) is one of the world’s most rigorous and holistic academic programs, emphasizing inquiry, critical thinking, and research skills.
 
University Advantage
IB students are highly regarded by top universities in the U.S. – including Ivy League schools – and internationally, often earning credit or advanced standing.
 
Bilingual, Personalized Learning
Students study three subjects in German and three in English, developing high-level academic fluency in both languages within a supportive, internationally minded community.
 
We look forward to sharing more about our High School program and welcoming families interested in joining our inaugural Grade 9 class.
