Silicon Valley (GISSV) will open
the new
EAST BAY Campus in Berkeley on August 27th.
We will start with a Kindergarten class and
we will continue by adding one grade each
year to build out to a full K through 5. As a
satellite campus, the GISSV East Bay campus,
shares the same bilingual and educational
philosophy, curriculum guidelines and
student-to-teacher ratios as the parent
school in Mountain View. As a true
German-English immersion program, the school
targets students from German and non-German
speaking families and any families interested
in a high-quality bilingual education.
After the summer break GISSV will open the
doors for its students again on August 15th.
Did you know that the GISSV not only offers
Pre-school/Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle,
and High School but also Saturday Language
Classes? There are classes for all age and
skill levels, starting with a Preschool Play
Group at age 3 on every Saturday and a
variety of weekday classes for adults.
Moreover, GISSV offers Corporate Language
