Supporting GISW
As a school that sits between a traditional independent school, where tuition and fees cover all expenses, and a public or state-sponsored school, where the local government provides funding, GISW enjoys some of the benefits and challenges of both systems. While funds from the German government plus tuition and fees come together to cover the basics of running GISW, we run a separate Annual Fund to support the costs of unbudgeted expenses -- equipment or programming or other projects to enhance our students’ education and experience. The programs listed below all support the GISW Annual Fund. Thank you for your participation!
