German School Brooklyn Reviews

German School Brooklyn is a hidden gem amongst New York's private school. Their bilingual English-German curriculum is based on the best of both countries education philosophies and provides kids with all the resources to grow into biliterate, creative problem solvers who embrace culture differences. We love how international the families in my children's classes are and how many different language children speak at home. My kids are only bilingual, but there are lot of trilingual children. It feels a little bit like the UN and it's wonderful to see how the kids all learn from each others backgrounds. As a former publishing executive I also love their focus on creative writing across subjects and how they celebrate each others works throughout the school year. Highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a unique education where children are challenged academically, supported emotionally and socially, and encouraged to develop their own artistic or scientific interest.

Review German School Brooklyn

Small school in a new custom designed building, great community and teachers, small classes. Our child integrated well into the class right after joining, and enjoys going to GSB every day. Info on curriculum, progress and issues (if any) is frequent and detailed. Next step is growth from K-8 into K-12 which will require an effort. Given the track record over the past years, navigating growth from zero and transitioning into progressively larger buildings there is no doubt it will be done successfully.

At GSB I truly learned what it means to be part of a strong and open community, working together to achieve something meaningful and great. An international and bilingual education for all of Brooklyn using language as a powerful foundation for learning, as a lens for understanding the world, communicating and connecting.
