Welcome to GISSV, the German International School of Silicon Valley! We are an independent, nonprofit preschool-12 school with two locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our mission is to provide a high-quality dual-immersion education that helps students reach their full potential in a stimulating environment. With a focus on German and English language learning, we foster critical and imaginative thinking, a passion for lifelong learning, and an appreciation for cultural diversity.

At GISSV, we offer a well-balanced program that nurtures holistic and individual development. Our curriculum includes rich project-based and differentiated learning experiences, promoting social-emotional competency, critical thinking, artistic expression, and physical motor skills. With highly qualified teachers, small class sizes, and excellent resources, we create safe and stimulating learning environments.

Beyond the classroom, we instill an appreciation for life, music, sports, culture, and arts among our students. Our vibrant international school community, small class sizes, and enriching events bring together students, teachers, and parents, fostering a strong sense of community. Come and join us at GISSV, where we prepare students for the world ahead!
