A personalized admissions process built around your family.
Choosing the right school is a meaningful decision, and we’re here to help every step of the way. At the German International School, we’re committed to making sure GIS is the right fit for your child and your family.
Our Director of Admissions, Elizabeth Gillespie, is available to answer questions, guide you through the enrollment process, and schedule a personalized tour of our campus. We take the time to get to know each family, and ensure that your introduction to GIS reflects the care and community you can expect as part of your school.
Most enrollment decisions are made between January and March for the following school year. However, space permitting, mid year enrollment is also considered on an individual basis.
To begin the conversation, schedule a tour or contact Elizabeth at admissions@gspdx.org. We look forward to getting to know you.
