Who we are

GIS of Texas at Austin is the brain child of the German-Texan Heritage Society. It is fully backed and supported by the GTHS. It is our goal to provide students with the fundamental skills and tools needed for their first steps into formal education. We promote a positive view of learning, curiosity, critical questioning, and a world-view that is broad and tolerant.

Our Mission

Supported by the research-backed principles of education in the US and Germany and through collaborative effort of the entire school community, it is our goal to provide students with the fundamental skills needed from their first steps into formal education through the elementary grades. 

 

It is the primary goal of teachers at the German International School of Texas at Austin to observe, guide, and facilitate student' social interactions and other explorations of the physical and social world around them, as well as to create an environment that is welcoming and inspiring. Each student is recognized as an individual, each with their own personal interests and proclivities. Teachers offer the tools and guidance needed for the development of self-responsibility and confidence to become a co-creator with the human community, small and large.
