What are the benefits of a bilingual education? We have the answer!
The German School Washington D.C. is a co-educational private school which provides students with a unique international perspective by combining the best of both U.S. and German academic education. We teach students from over 20 different countries side by side and give them the opportunity to earn a High School Diploma and the German International Abitur. For children age 2 through 12th grade, our school creates a unique, multicultural and multilingual experience within a warm and nurturing environment. Knowledge of German is not required for admission to our pre-K and Kindergarten programs. Your child will be prepared for life beyond standardized tests.
Please join us for our Fall Open House on Friday, November 7, 2014, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Go on a tour of our campus led by students, learn more about the curriculum and see students in class. Campus tours leave every 15 minutes. After the tour, there will be time to ask questions and meet teachers as well as staff at the information fair.
If you have questions about the Open House, please do not hesitate to contact our Admissions Coordinator at 301.767.3807 or admissions@dswash.org
We are located in a quiet neighborhood in Potomac, MD just 15 minutes outside of Washington D.C. If you cannot make it to the Open House, please call to schedule your personal private tour.
