German American School of Portland

Our Mission is to provide an excellent educational experience for our children while developing and maintaining fluency in both the German and English languages.

GIS provides an excellent educational experience that fosters cross-cultural understanding, giving our children the tools and perspectives needed to actively participate as citizens in a global community. Our students develop and maintain fluency in both the German and English languages.

We believe that children’s natural curiosity of the world is the origin of learning and that we must respect each child’s level of readiness, ability, and curiosity as we promote learning.
