Introduction

German Swiss International School’s English International Stream at the Peak Campus serves Upper Primary and Secondary (ages 5–18) on Hong Kong Island’s Victoria Peak. Students follow IGCSE (mainly Cambridge, with some Pearson Edexcel) in Years 10–11 and the IB Diploma Programme in Years 12–13. Beyond lessons, GSIS offers a broad activities menu including sports, STEM/coding, debate, art, music and drama. Language learning is a hallmark: Secondary places a strong emphasis on German, with Mandarin and French available as additional languages. A practical feature for families is the school bus service, which connects the Peak campus to key residential areas. The campus location offers easy access by bus or taxi, with The Peak Tram and Peak Galleria nearby. With about 1,250 students across the school and education offered from 1969, GSIS combines long-established roots with a clearly outlined international pathway from IGCSE to IB DP.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Initial inquiry / Pre-Application
Prospective families complete an online Pre-Application form (via GSIS’s Admissions portal) which grants access to the admissions pack and enables scheduling of a campus tour or visit.

2. Submission of Full Application / Waitlist Placement
Once the application is complete (personal, academic, and residency documentation), GSIS sends an acknowledgement email and places the applicant on a waitlist (or shortlist) for their year group.

3. Entrance Assessment / Interview
For many year levels (especially in the English International Stream), applicants are invited to an assessment (English, Mathematics, verbal comprehension etc.) and sometimes an interview, depending on year group.

4. Offer of Place and Debenture / Capital Levy
If a place is available and the student passes assessment, GSIS issues an offer letter. The family must decide on and pay debenture (refundable or non-refundable) or capital levy (where applicable) by a deadline.

5. Enrollment and Orientation
After acceptance and payment, parents complete enrollment formalities. Students may attend orientation, meet teachers, receive timetables, and integrate into their cohort before classes begin.

Scholarships
GSIS does not publicly offer traditional, broad-based scholarships (such as merit scholarships) on its website.
However, the school does have a financial aid / fee reduction program, considered on a case-by-case basis, thereby reducing school fees for certain students whose families demonstrate need.

Waitlist
GSIS operates a waitlist (or shortlist) system rather than immediate acceptance. After a full application is submitted, the applicant is placed on a waitlist in the appropriate year group. When a vacancy arises, GSIS contacts the next student on the waitlist to check continued interest, and may arrange a new assessment or interview before confirming the place.
