GESM fosters a tight-knit community, providing many opportunities for parents, teachers, administrators and students to meet and work together. The school values the holistic development of each and every child, just as much as it values academic excellence. As a German-European institution, GESM puts strong emphasis on language learning, among others as a vehicle towards cultural tolerance and international citizenship.

Entry evaluation for students

Yes. The evaluation of new enrollees may take the form of an interview and/or an entrance exam.

Brief description of entry evaluation required

New students are normally evaluated through an interview with the head teacher of the pedagogical department (e.g. preschool, primary, secondary, etc.) they are enrolling in. Our teachers reserve the right to ask for additional requirements if they deem it necessary. An entrance exam is normally given for enrollees who wish to join Secondary. A language assessment is normally done for students joining from a non-English or non-German-speaking school.

Waiting list

For certain classes in the English section, yes.

Deadline for registration (new academic year)

With the exception of classes in the higher years, GESM admits new students all year round, and thus do not have a hard deadline for enrollment. However, to ensure that a student can start in the beginning of the coming school year (August), we ask that families submit the application forms by April 30.

Students can join after academic year begins

Yes.
