Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1.Application Submission
Families must begin by submitting an online application form through the official GSIS website. The application must specify whether the student is applying for the German International Stream (GIS) or the English International Stream (EIS).
2. Assessment Requirements
Depending on the stream selected and the age of the child, different assessments apply. For the German stream, applicants may be asked to complete a German-language assessment. For the English stream, students are typically assessed in English and Mathematics. These assessments help determine suitability and placement.
3. Interviews (if applicable)
Some applicants may be invited for an interview or additional assessments based on age or programme requirements. This step ensures a better understanding of the child's background and readiness for school.
4. Offer of Admission
Once assessments and interviews are completed, GSIS issues an offer letter to successful applicants, subject to space availability. Offers are usually time-sensitive and must be accepted within the timeframe outlined.
5. Acceptance and Payment
To secure the offered place, families must confirm acceptance and pay any required debenture or capital fees, as specified in the admission offer.
6. Waitlist Status
GSIS does have a waitlist system in place, particularly for high-demand year levels. If space is not available, applicants may be placed on the waiting list and contacted when a place opens.
The school does have a waitlist.Yes. After application submission, if a slot is not immediately available, students are placed on a sort of waiting list (or waiting queue) for that year.
The school does not have publicly available information on their scholarships.
The Pok Fu Lam campus of German Swiss International School (GSIS) is home to the Kindergarten and Lower Primary sections in both the German International Stream (GIS) and the English International Stream (EIS). The curriculum focuses on early learning, covering literacy, numeracy, language skills, and general subject knowledge appropriate for young students. In the German Stream, teaching follows the German curriculum adapted to an international setting, while in the English Stream, lessons are based on the UK curriculum. Facilities at the campus include classrooms designed for younger children, outdoor play areas, and spaces for art, music, and physical activity. Its location in Pok Fu Lam provides a quiet setting with access to open space. The campus gives younger students a structured start to school before they move on to the upper years at the Peak campus.
