IGCSE and IB Diploma and Abitur

Renowned for its academic excellence, GSIS offers two successful streams with globally recognised diplomas respectively. The German International Stream (GIS) bestows the German International Abitur (DIA) diploma which is seen as an advantage over other common school qualifications. As the only international school in Hong Kong to teach this curriculum, DIA graduates become bilingual and proficient in one of Europe’s most commonly spoken languages. Students who choose to continue their academic career in Germany, an economic powerhouse, are given an education resident visa, and tuition is offered gratuitously by the democratic elected German government. Alternatively, the English International Stream (EIS) prepares students for the IGCSE and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) accreditation where extraordinary results are delivered. Both diplomas open doors to top-ranking universities all over the world including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Europe.

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.
