The German International School Washington D.C. (GISW), formerly Deutsche Schule Washington D.C. (DSW),[1] is a private, co-educational school which provides students with an international perspective by combining both U.S. and German academic education. The school teaches students from over 20 different countries side by side and gives them the opportunity to earn a High School Diploma and the German International Abitur. For children age 2 through 12th grade. Knowledge of German is not required for admission to preschool and School Entry Level (= Kindergarten age) programs.

History

The school was founded on September 11, 1961, with 33 students.[2] Its original purpose was to deliver a German education to the children of diplomats in the Washington, D.C., area, though as it has grown over the years it has taken on a larger number of other students. The school is partially supported by the German government.

The German International School Washington, D.C. is a bilingual school using German and English. The school offers a challenging college preparatory program, including AP courses.
