NRW Delegation visits GISW
It was a pleasure to welcome a delegation from North Rhine-Westphalia to the German International School Washington D.C. This visit was part of the NRW-USA Year, organized to strengthen the bond between the US and Germany, to empower our people, and create a shared future.
The delegation visited our GISW to explore German International Schools in the US, with Washington as an example. Our guests were particularly impressed by our diverse STEM offerings and by observing the Churer Modell live in the classroom, which provided valuable insights into our innovative teaching methods.
We were delighted to host them for this insightful visit.
