Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2026
Dear School Community,
It is my pleasure to invite you to join us in celebrating the Graduation Ceremony for the Class of 2026 on Thursday, June 4, at 4:00 pm.
Graduation is a special milestone that reflects years of hard work, growth, and achievement. While seating is limited, family and friends who are unable to attend in person are warmly invited to join us via livestream: https://youtube.com/live/KDpD8zWSMfY?feature=share
Please feel free to share this link with extended family and friends so they can be part of this important occasion from wherever they may be.
GISW graduates have the opportunity to earn two degrees: the German International Abitur and a U.S. High School Diploma. To learn more about the German International Abitur, please visit www.germanapproach.org. The German International Abitur is an internationally recognized college preparatory diploma that opens doors to universities around the world.
On Friday evening, we will continue the celebration at the Abitur Ball at the Austrian Embassy, and I look forward to marking this memorable moment together with our graduates and their families.
On behalf of our entire school community, I wish the Class of 2026 a wonderful graduation day and every success and happiness in the future.
Warm regards,
Best regards,
Carsten Apsel
Head of School
