Leadership & Operations

Every member of our dedicated team plays a crucial and significant role in our operations, whether they are highly visible and engaging with others directly or working quietly behind the scenes to support our mission.

Our Founders

GSB was founded in 2014 by Muriel Plag and Kathrin Nagle, with invaluable support from Christine Krabs and Sonja Einoedter.

With a shared vision of providing an immersive, bilingual environment, they sought to offer students not just the opportunity to learn in two languages, but to develop a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and global perspectives. Their commitment to excellence and a strong sense of community laid the foundation for a school that continues to inspire a love of learning in every student

THANK YOU!

Our partners are vital to the success of GSB. They provide resources, enrich the curriculum through collaborations, and strengthen our community connections.

By partnering with organizations that promote German and Spanish language and culture, the school is able to further create a vibrant learning environment for its students.
