Global School Brooklyn - Edu (NY)

5 /5 Jennifer Frankel: My children joined the school in fall of 2021 with no prior German language knowledge. We do not speak German at home but wanted to give our children a bilingual education. We were drawn in by the unique hybrid curriculum, the warm community feel, and the chance for our children to have a well-balanced education. GSB did not disappoint. 3 years later my children are able to understand, speak and write German! They love going to school everyday because their voices are heard and opinions valued. They have made wonderful friendships and developed lasting connections with their teachers. They are get to work collaboratively on group projects as well as independently. We love this school and are so happy with our decision to attend.

5 /5 Liliana Nieves: We are a family with three children at GSB: Simon in 7th grade, Hannah in 3rd grade, and Maria in 1st grade. This is our second year at the school since moving from the German School in Bogota, Colombia. Over the past two years, our kids have grown immensely. They have become proficient in both English and German and have also developed significant self-confidence through various dance/art performance activities organized by the school. They have embraced sports in a way they hadnt before and are thriving socially. The schools dedicated and personalized approach to education has greatly benefited our children. The community welcomed us with open arms, even though none of us has a German background. We are truly happy with our decision to choose GSB as the school for our three kids.

5 /5 Pascal Schaary: Weve been part of the German School Brooklyn for a decade. What makes this school stand out and has been the most amazing feature is the incredible community that comes with it. Its been an amazing journey thats culminated in our own amazing building in Crown Heights. Our children continue to learn and enjoy their teachers, the excursions, their new building, their friends. Us parents enjoy the support of teachers, the Board, the Parent Association and other parents. We look forward to another decade at the school, at which point our last one should complete 12th grade.

5 /5 Savera Rost: The German School of Brooklyn (GSB) is a school that fosters not just academic excellence but also a love of learning and a global perspective. Our children (all 3!) have thrived in this unique environment, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a truly special educational experience. One of the biggest advantages of GSB is its commitment to bilingual education. Being exposed to two languages from a young age opens up a world of opportunities. Our children are not only building a deeper understanding of the German Language but also developing critical thinking skills through its curriculum. The bilingual curriculum at GSB seamlessly blends the best of American and German educational philosophies, creating well-rounded and adaptable students. But the true heart of GSB lies in its staff and teachers. The educators are more than just instructors; they are passionate mentors who genuinely care about each childs individual growth. The small class sizes ensure that every student receives personalized attention. Whats even more impressive is that teachers typically stay with their students for two grades, fostering strong bonds and a deep understanding of each childs strengths and weaknesses. This continuity is invaluable, allowing teachers to tailor their approach to meet each childs specific needs. For families with children who require special education, GSB is incredibly supportive. The school is responsive to individual needs and works collaboratively with parents to develop personalized learning plans and coordinate with the Department of Education to to obtain and secure in-school services. Overall, GSB is a nurturing and vibrant community that celebrates diversity and intellectual curiosity. If youre looking for a school that will prepare your child to be a successful, compassionate, and global citizen, then the German School of Brooklyn is the perfect place.

5 /5 RWA: Hands down the best bi-lingual school in Brooklyn. Super international community, yet most families are here to stay and not expats. Excellent educators. Amazing facility. Our kids are in love with the teachers and the new building. We have never once had a day where they dont want to go to school. Thanks to the incredible curriculum they are fully bilingual in English and German, and my 3rd grader is now starting Spanish as well. He could also do Mandarin in their after school program, but hes too busy writing and making stop motion movies at the "Trickfilm Werkstatt .
