In Grade 2, students always look forward to welcoming a special guest into the classroom through Our Parents, Our Heroes! In this special series, class parents give students a glimpse into how their passions shaped their career paths. From journalists and doctors to architects and game developers, our community inspires our students to stay curious, be compassionate and discover new ways to make a difference in the world around them. . . . #nycschools #globalmindset #parentlife #classroomcommunity

Shapes, patterns, and statistics are just a few of the concepts students explore throughout our math curriculum in English and in their target language. From Preschool through Grade 8, our teachers incorporate hands-on activities and meaningful discussions into their lessons to help make math fun and engaging. Our youngest learners begin their math journey by working together to build, match, and sort as they begin to identify numbers, analyze data and enhance their problem solving skills. As they progress into Middle School, students tackle increasingly complex concepts, culminating in Algebra I in Grade 8 and building the skills they need for advanced math in high school and beyond. . . . #nycschools #mathisfun #steam

It may be summer but it’s always a good idea to stop and smell the flowers! 🌷 Every spring, our Kindergarteners take a special trip to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden where they learn about different species of plants and discover how things like temperature and rain can affect when they bloom. They walked under the cherry blossom trees, observed the unique shapes of tulips and experienced firsthand how nature changes with the seasons. . . . #nycschools #getoutside #explorenature #brooklyn

Nika is a proud GSB alum currently studying Jazz at Loyola University New Orleans. When she's not singing or performing, she enjoys biking, exploring nature, and spending time with people. Q: What do you miss about GSB? A: I miss my wonderful teachers and the memories I created with my small class. Q: In what way has GSB prepared you for high school and college? A: GSB prepared me for high school and college by teaching classes at a higher academic level. The teaching style followed the German way of learning, which focused on discipline, structure, and critical thinking. Because of this, I developed strong study habits, time management skills, and learned how to take responsibility for my work. Overall, GSB prepared me well for high school and college. Q: How are you keeping up with your German? A: I keep up with my German by speaking consistently with my father back home and my family in Germany. I like reading either the news or books in German and listening to German music. Q: Any other news you would like to share with us? A: I just submitted an original song to the 2026 tiny desk competition. Now I am working on releasing it on all music platforms as well as recording an album. . . . #nycschools #alumnispotlight #risingstars #bilingualeducation

Cooking with Kathleen is one of our most popular afterschool programs where students get to stir, mix, and taste a variety of American and German sweet treats and healthy snacks.

Through our International Exchange Program, Grade 8 students spend two weeks fully immersed in the language and culture of another country. Our German track students travel to our partner school in Germany, Josef-Schwarz-Schule, where they live with host families, attend classes and experience the power of language in real-world situations. This year, our students explored the Rosenberg Falconry Castle, experienced the excitement of Tripsdrill, and, most importantly, built meaningful friendships and created memories that will last a lifetime. . . . #bilingualeducation #nycschools #exchangeprogram #tripsdrill #rosenbergcastle
