Our new chatbot is here!
You can now find the Griffin Chatbot at the bottom right corner of our website! It is available anytime to answer your questions about the German International School Washington D.C.
If the chatbot does not appear for you, it is because you have not yet accepted the necessary cookies.
You can do so via this cookie manager (Privacy settings -> Interactive Services -> Allow Ask the Griffin to Assist You):
You can ask the Griffin Chatbot questions in any language, such as:
- What’s for lunch today?
- When does the bus come to my bus stop on a Plan B day?
- Where can I buy a GISW sweater?
Please note: The chatbot does not cover the pages of the German Language Courses (GLC).
