Water Main Break
Liebe Familien,
aufgrund einer Unterbrechung einer Hauptwasserversorgungsroute wird die Deutsche Internationale Schule Washington D.C. auf unabsehbare Zeit ohne Wasser sein. Wir haben daher beschlossen, den Unterricht fr眉hzeitig zu beenden und fordern Sie auf, Ihre Kinder ab 12:15 Uhr abzuholen, wenn sie nicht mit unseren Bussen fahren.
Die Busse verlassen die Schule um 12:15 Uhr. Falls Ihre Kinder nicht mit dem Bus fahren sollen, dann melden Sie sich sofort unter 301.767.3801. Ihr Kind wird dann in der Schule betreut, bis Sie sie abholen.
Wenn ein Elternteil mehr als ein Kind abholt, halten Sie bitte Ihren Ausweis sowie eine SMS oder E-Mail der Eltern der abzuholenden Kinder bereit.
Bitte holen Sie Ihre Kinder am Haupteingang des Hauptgeb盲udes ab. Sch眉lerinnen und Sch眉ler, die in der Schule warten m眉ssen, werden von uns beaufsichtigt und betreut, bis Sie kommen, um sie abzuholen. Diese Entscheidung, den Unterricht zu beenden, richtet sich nach den f眉r 枚rtliche Schulen erlassenen Gesundheitsvorschriften.
Wir bedauern den Umstand und werden Sie weiterhin auf dem Laufenden halten.

STEM/MINT Program at GISW
Our STEM/MINT program gives students the opportunity to specialize in rigorous mathematics and science curricula focused on problem-solving and research. Our emphasis is on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) alongside the German equivalent; Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik (MINT).
In the year 2018 our school achieved the MINT certification, awarded by Germany鈥檚 nationwide program, 鈥淢INT: creating the future.鈥� This initiative is sponsored by the Conference of Ministers of Education and supported by some of Germany鈥檚 best known corporations.
Through collaboration among teachers in the Preschool (starting at age 2), Elementary School (School Entry Level through 4th grade) and Upper School (5th through 12th grade), students are engaged, encouraged and challenged at an early age, in order to stimulate a sustained interest in the sciences.
Important aspects of our STEM/MINT Program include:
- Excitement and enjoyment in exploring scientific topics
- Independent research, problem-solving, analysis and laboratory investigations
- Participation in local, national and international competitions
- Cultivation of partnerships in higher-education, business & industry, and the community
- Preparation of students 鈥� especially girls, for careers in science and technology
Modern Facilities for Science Education
Our school鈥檚 substantial investment is represented by its modern Science building where students from 4th to 12th grade receive topflight education in state-of-the-art facilities specially designed for teaching the Sciences. Our students receive high-level instructions in four well equipped scientific laboratories. Laptops, interactive SMART-Boards and document cameras, lego mindstorm-robots, 3-D-printers, a weather bug station and notebooks for simulations, measurements and data analysis comprise some of the resources accessible to students and teachers. These enhance the academic curriculum by providing students with unique learning experiences that build on their individual capacities. Moreover, students are offered opportunities for independent research and experimentation, interacting with professionals from the scientific, engineering, technological and industrial communities.
Building Skills for a Globalized World
Our success-driven curriculum and teaching methods stimulate curiosity and promote critical thinking, innovation and collaboration with peers in order to develop the intellectual, emotional and social skills required for life and work in a globalized world.
