The German Swiss International School (GSIS) was founded in 1969 and is a leading private international school in Hong Kong. Offering a through-train, co-educational model, GSIS educates around 1,300 students from diverse ethnic backgrounds. As a dual-language school, GSIS operates two parallel streams, from Kindergarten to Secondary School and prepares for the German International Abitur and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, following IGCSE examinations in Year 11. In addition there is the option to pursue a dual-professional training through the school’s Business College. GSIS offers a rigorous academic programme within a vibrant, creative and caring community. Fostering an open-minded and engaged world-view, we guide our students towards becoming responsible, critical-thinking and self-assured citizens. Our curriculum provides learning opportunities for every student commensurate to their needs, abilities and stage of development. We teach a programme that gives each student the opportunity to experience success, yet challenges them to achieve their full potential. We provide enrichment through a wide range of extra-curricular activities that form an integral part of our school programme. The school is certified by the German Federal Government as an “Excellent German School Abroad” and by the International Baccalaureate (IB) Organisation as an IB World School.
