Part of

German-American School Manhattan (GSM) is a bilingual IB World School serving Preschool through Grade 5 across two Tribeca campuses. At 85 Warren Street is the Kita Preschool & Kindergarten, and at 74 Warren Street is the Dual Immersion Elementary School. The program educates children ages 2 to 11 in a 50/50 bilingual model, delivering a German-language curriculum alongside New York State standards. The school is authorized to offer the IB Primary Years Programme and blends German grade-level competencies with US standards within an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary framework. In grades 1–5, instruction is split evenly between German and English, with native German teachers guiding German reading, writing, math, social studies and ethics, and native English teachers guiding English reading, writing, science, social studies and math. Art, music, and movement are taught in both languages; Spanish begins in Grade 3. Class sizes are small, up to 20 students, supporting learning, collaboration, and reflection.
