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.
