German International School, Dallas

It is a privilege to share my strong belief in the European early childhood pedagogy and the importance of childhood years by teaching and living it daily at our school in North Texas. German ISD provides a learning environment deeply rooted in the central European culture and education system, and it also encourages the development of a global perspective and community building. Since German ISD’s founding in 2009, we remain the only German language immersion program in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex providing full-time, weekday German language instruction to children 18 months to 10 years old. From day one, students are exposed to German language and culture in a warm and supportive environment. The school focuses on learning through child-directed play experiences and a curriculum based on the “Bayerischer Bildungs- und Erziehungsplan für Kinder in Tageseinrichtungen.” Our motivated team of educators believes in the balance of preschool and play, which enhances growth and development of its children in all areas: physically, socially, emotionally, creatively and intellectually.
