German International School Toronto (GIST) is an international school for ages 3 to 17 that delivers a trilingual program in German, English and French. The curriculum blends the Thuringian German curriculum with the Ontario Canadian curriculum and offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for upper grades. Primary instruction is mainly German, with English increasing to about a 50/50 split from Grade 5, and French beginning in kindergarten and becoming integral from Grade 3. Students can follow a bilingual English/French or English/German Diploma track as part of the high school IB programme, preparing for global university access. GIST has a Germany–Canada affiliation and has earned the STEAM_MINT profile and a Seal of Excellence from the Federal President of Germany for its science-authored program. A Three Step German Program (GermanFasttrack, GermanPlus, GermanPro) supports language development, with free language support in German, English and French. The 25 Burnhamthorpe Rd campus provides PreK–Grade 12 education with a strong emphasis on multilingualism, science education and community engagement.
