Financial Aid
German International School is committed to making our programs as accessible as possible.
At GIS, we’re committed to supporting families who believe in our mission but may need financial assistance to make enrollment possible. In addition to flexible payment plans, we offer need based financial aid to help ensure access to our language immersion and IB programs.
While GIS does not offer full scholarships, many families receive partial aid packages that provide meaningful support. Currently, more than 16% of GIS families receive some form of financial assistance.
If tuition feels out of reach, we encourage you to apply. All financial aid applications are reviewed confidentially and evaluated with care.
For more information about tuition or financial aid, please contact Peter Wong or Elizabeth Gillespie. We’re here to help you explore all available options.
