German International School Washington D.C., Potomac | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Our son came into K and was well able to read and write, and was looking forward to starting school. Within a year, and mainly through teacher behavior, they destroyed his motivation entirely, and caused learning disorders and behavior issues in the poor child. As a ‘remedy’, they put tremendous pressure on us as parents to drug the kid. The English language classes were particularly poor, and we had to tutor privately.
As a result, we removed both children and enrolled them in an (excellent) public school, where he scored solid 2’s in Q1. The damage was done. The teachers worked together with us to constantly address any issues, something we have always looked for at German School but could never managed to achieve. Here, it was built into the curriculum. Within the year, our son improved to 3’s and is now bringing home straight 4’s. After a year’s worth of repair and nerves, our kids are finally back on pre-German school levels.
The more people we talk to, the more we find with a similar experience. We are very disappointed how unaccommodating the school was towards any child or situation out of the ordinary. Compared to the public school we on now, we cannot understand to this day how all these fees were justified.

Best school ever!
