Global School Brooklyn offers a bilingual, inquiry-driven education for children ages 3 to 14. The campus at 760 Sterling Place provides a Montessori-inspired early years environment, transitioning to the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme as students reach middle school. The school supports German‑English or Spanish‑English tracks, with German and English instruction from Preschool through 8th grade and Spanish‑English immersion added for Preschool in 2025. This combination supports language development, cultural awareness, and collaboration. The Lower School teaches primarily in the target language with English support, while Middle School prepares students for the Deutsches Sprachdiplom I (DSDI) in Grade 8. Facilities include a gym, rooftop field, art room, classrooms, and playgrounds; the campus is designed for student-centered learning and is accessible by public transit. The program emphasizes project work, field experiences, and service learning, alongside field trips such as Frost Valley, a Boston exchange, and eighth-grade exchange with a German partner school.
