BLI Audit
We made it!
It is with joy and pride that we announce the result of the BLI audit: The GISW continues its prestigious status of being officially recognized as an ‘Excellent German School Abroad’ by the Central Agency for German Schools Abroad (ZfA). In the week of November 14th, four officials came to visit and observe instruction, to hold in-depth interviews with the students, parents, teachers, the Head of School, Board of Directors and the Business Director. They immersed themselves in our school life and into our school community and came away with a very positive impression of GISW as a school where students not only gain an excellent education, but also grow up as young people in a very supportive and caring environment.
We are very pleased with this positive result.
