GSM Rolling Admissions

I’m bilingual. What’s your superpower?

At GSM, we believe that every child brings their own unique strengths to our community. That’s why we welcome students from all language backgrounds—even those with no prior knowledge of German. Our rolling admissions process makes it easy for families to apply at any time during the year, ensuring a smooth and flexible transition into our school.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2025/26 school year for students ages 2 through 5th grade. Whether your child is taking their very first steps in education or joining us from another school, GSM provides a nurturing, inquiry-based environment where they can grow, thrive, and discover the power of bilingual learning.
