German International School Portland
At the German International School Portland we have a knack for teaching children a second language. Not only do our students learn a second language, they are immersed in German culture through music, art, books and conversation with everyone around them. In return, they have the opportunity to become better listeners, more flexible in their thinking and more open to other languages and cultures. GIS is a collaborative community with a student-centered learning environment that encourages growth into bilingual world citizens, who strive for academic and creative excellence, embrace healthy and responsible behavior, and value independence and lifelong learning. GIS provides an excellent educational experience that fosters cross-cultural understanding, giving our children the tools and perspectives needed to actively participate as citizens in a global community. Our students develop and maintain fluency in both the German and English languages.
