Celebrating 25 Years. Investing in Our Future.

For 25 years, German International School Boston has grown from an ambitious idea into a vibrant international school community. Generations of students, families, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends have helped shape the GISB we know today.

Our 25th anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate how far we have come – and to look ahead.

Philanthropic support has always played an important role in helping GISB grow beyond what tuition alone can provide. Gifts to the GISB Annual Fund strengthen the student experience, support our teachers and programs, enhance our campuses, and allow us to invest in new opportunities for our students.

Throughout the year, our community comes together in many ways. The Parent Council coordinates the Teacher Appreciation Fund, providing families with an opportunity to recognize our dedicated faculty and staff. Student and community groups may also organize fundraising activities for specific initiatives and traditions, including the Abiball graduation celebration.

We invite every member of our community – current families, alumni, grandparents, former families, and friends of GISB – to be part of our next chapter. Every gift, at every level, helps us continue building a strong, innovative, and welcoming school for the generations to come.

25 years of GISB. And we’re just getting started.
