To become acquainted with the daily school routine at GIBS, interested primary school (Volksschule) children have the option of “snooping” through a Year 1 class day.
From 21 Oct. 2019 until and including 18 Dec. 2019.
As of Mon. 14 Oct. 2019 an appointment may be arranged with the secretary in the school office between 08:30 and 13:00 (Tel.: 0316/77-10-50).
Due to the number of applications and the limited capacity of the school we are not able to accept all the children who apply.
English speaking children who meet the standard entrance requirements will be given priority because their presence at our school encourages English as a natural means of communication.
Applicants must meet the minimum requirements in language competence (as outlined below) to be accepted as bilingual students. The applicant`s language competence will be assessed in a short, informal interview with the school principal and a native speaker member of GIBS staff.
