German Swiss International School

GSIS offers a diverse range of clubs and activities to enable them to acquire new skills, delve into unexplored areas of interest, and develop their talents. These offerings span across different fields, including art, drama, music, sports, STEM, coding, and debate. Aside from these, students in Secondary can participate in the Model United Nations to learn about how the UN operates, or partake in the Hong Kong Award for Young People, an award scheme designed to motivate a spirit of challenge and perseverance through outdoor activities. Our students also have the freedom to spearhead and orchestrate their own contributions. By taking the initiative in student-led activities, they can share their skills to peers and gain valuable experience in leadership and organisation. We believe this enhances the breadth of our school’s offerings but also instils a sense of responsibility and community within our students. Through this approach, we aim to provide a well-rounded education that equips them with the skills and resilience to succeed in all aspects of life. Our after-school programmes encompass both chargeable afternoon activities (AAs) and non-chargeable extra-curricular activities (ECAs) that are led by a combination of external service providers and GSIS staff members. They vary depending on the respective year groups and timetables of Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary students.

Yes, the school has highly-qualified teachers from German and English-speaking countries.

For children who are 6-8 years old, the Cultural and Language Integration Programme in Primary Years, also known as “CLIPPY”, presents an immersive German language curriculum. The programme enables children with no prior knowledge of German, to be supported by personalised language lessons. CLIPPY students are fully integrated in a multicultural environment and part of a nurturing community. It delivers an outstanding education that transforms lives, as well as minds, and develops critical thinking. For older children ages 11-12 years old, the “Fast Track” programme is an accelerated German-learning experience designed for Secondary international students where German language courses are integrated into the interdisciplinary curriculum, alongside German speaking students. They are cultivated into a language-rich learning environment and become inquisitive, open minded and independent thinkers.

At GSIS, we recognise the crucial role of student services in creating a positive and inclusive learning environment. Our student well-being programmes are designed to support students throughout their journey from early learners to young adults. From proactive initiatives to reactive interventions, our social-emotional counsellors and learning enhancement teachers work closely with students, staff, and parents to foster academic, social, and emotional growth.
