[quote=Anonymous]Current bilingual family here. We’re happy with the academic level and have not noticed behavior problems or just „anyone being accepted“ as the PP mentioned. It is certainly self selective and the vast majority of kids in later elementary are bilingual or German households. Unless you are very highly motivated and are willing to employ a German Aupair and/or near daily tutor to help with German I would not advise the school. They have numerous extra classes to help kids with their German but it is not meant for total beginners. The few non German households I see in our kids classes struggle. There are of course exceptions. The German families who leave the school are typically leaving because they want their kids to be immersed in English and not because of the academic level of GISW. All classes at GISW except for English are taught in German. [/quote]
