GSB is a preschool through 8th grade international school where students learn through either a German-English or a Spanish-English immersion program. We strive to cultivate intellectual curiosity, critical thinking skills, and a deep understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives to build a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
Open Minds
As an IB MYP candidate school, we believe in a well-rounded education that fosters students' social, emotional, and intellectual growth. We emphasize inquiry-based learning in curated and stimulating classrooms, encourging students to wonder about the world around them, to question what they observe, and to discover the answers through exploration and investigation.

Open Hearts
Nestled within the vibrant tapestry of Brooklyn, our school's intimate size creates a unique advantage - the ability to foster an exceptionally close-knit and supportive community. Here, diversity isn't simply acknowledged; it's woven into the very fabric of our school's bilingual identity and actively celebrated as a source of strength and enrichment.

A World of Possibilities
While predicting the future is inherently challenging, it's evident that our children will inhabit an increasingly interconnected world where economies, societies, and cultures are intertwined. A global perspective, understanding diverse cultures and appreciating different viewpoints are therefore a core educational element at GSB. Bilingualism, or even multilingualism, will be a critical skill, enabling them to communicate effectively and build bridges across cultures.

Dear Families,
At the heart of our school’s mission — “Open Minds, Open Hearts, a World of Possibilities” — is the belief that education is about more than just grades. It’s about sparking curiosity, nurturing empathy, and building the adaptability needed to thrive in an interconnected world. Our dual-language immersion programs in German and Spanish do more than teach language—they help students appreciate the rich cultures and histories behind those languages.
Welcome to GSB!
Raphael Hillisch,
Head of School
