One of our favorite parts of the admissions process is taking you on a school tour—stepping into classrooms and catching a glimpse of our dynamic dual language program. We offer open houses that provide an in-depth view of our school’s philosophy, approach, curriculum, and community. There will be time for Q&A, to make sure that all of your questions are answered.

Please choose a date that fits your schedule and register via Ravenna.

Email admissions@germanschoolbrooklyn.org if you would like to schedule an individual tour with our Director of Admissions.

To help us get to know your child, we require the following items during the application process:

• Teacher Evaluation: We ask for a teacher evaluation for all grade levels, except preschool. This form will be sent to your child’s current teacher through Ravenna. The teacher will receive an email with a secure link to a Teacher Evaluation form which the teacher submits directly to GSB.
• Transcripts: For Grades K and 1 we require transcripts from the last year (if available). For applicants Grades 2 and up, we require transcripts from the past 2 school years. 
• Writing sample in English and German: The student essay is required for students applying for grades 6 and higher. Detailed information is provided in Ravenna.
• Student Interview: All applicants will be required to attend an interview. The session consists of a conversation and activities between your child and a member of our educational team, as well as a conversation between you and a member of school leadership.
