Virtual Tour

We invite you to virtually explore our two campuses in Boston and we hope you will soon have a chance to visit us.

German International School Boston is located on two campuses in the Allston neighborhood in Boston. The Upper Campus on Holton Street houses students from grade 1 to grade 12 and the Lower Campus on Western Avenue is the home base for our preschool and kindergarten students.

Upper School Virtual Tour

Lower Campus Virtual Tour

Our Lower Campus is specifically designed for younger students, providing room for creativity and exploration. Our preschool and kindergarten program is located on our Lower Campus; a short walk away from the Upper Campus. The beautifully renovated space includes classrooms specifically equipped for younger students, an outdoor playground, a large indoor multi-use play space, and a kitchen for small chefs. Our students also enjoy frequent trips across the footbridge to Artesani Park, located along the scenic Charles River.

While we reside in two buildings, the whole student body gets together regularly to celebrate traditions, share experiences, and learn together.

Upper Campus Virtual Tour

The GISB Upper Campus is located in Allston and provides room to learn and thrive for students in grades 1 through 12. The elementary school occupies the second floor of our facility. The middle school is on the main level alongside our main office and gymnasium. And the high school classrooms, as well as two dedicated science labs, our visual art studio, and a music room, are on the lower level. Students enjoy their breaks each day in our outdoor space, including a playground, a turf field for sports, and green space for eating and just hanging out. We utilize our outdoor spaces not just for breaks but also for many outdoor classes.
Our learning community enjoys the ease of outings to Harvard University’s athletic facilities, where many physical education classes take place in the fall and spring. With so much within walking distance – public parks, Harvard Square, subway, and bus stations – GISB students have easy access to an array of institutions and opportunities in Boston and Cambridge.

Please note: GISB is no longer using a cross-grade learning model, which is mentioned in the video.
