Admissions

Admissions
doris recommends that you start by speaking to admissions. This connects you directly to the school's admissions team who can respond with answers, more information, and next steps.

1. If you would like to see GESS in person, book an open house or schedule a campus tour. This gives you an opportunity to get a feel for the learning environment and ask questions about curriculum or student life. The admissions team can show you around the facilities while explaining the school’s bilingual offerings and extracurricular activities.

2. Prepare and submit the official application alongside required documents. Typically, GESS will ask for your child’s passport copy, birth certificate, academic reports, and vaccination records. These records help the admissions team verify eligibility and place your child correctly, especially if you’re transitioning from a different schooling system.

3. Wait for a confirmation from the admissions team regarding any placement assessments or interviews. In some cases, GESS may require a language screening or additional academic checks, especially if English or German is not your child’s first language. This step allows the school to understand your child’s academic readiness and language proficiency. It also helps them tailor support services for a smooth transition into the school.

4. Discuss curriculum pathway options to ensure a suitable academic fit. GESS offers a German curriculum track and an International Baccalaureate (IB) track, so the admissions team will help you determine which one aligns best with your child’s background and future plans. They can address any questions about class sizes, course content, and progression through the school years.

5. Review the fee structure, payment schedule, and any deposits required for securing your child’s spot. At this stage, GESS will guide you through the tuition, building, and application fees, highlighting any sibling discounts or payment options. Ensure you understand any deadlines to confirm enrollment. Having clarity on these financial details helps you plan your family’s relocation budget more accurately.

6. Finalize your child’s admission by arranging any necessary relocation documents or student pass requirements. The school will confirm your child’s enrollment and share orientation details, along with the start date. You’ll also receive information about uniforms, transportation, and other practical matters.
