German International School Of Texas

German Immersion with Academic Inquiry

The German International School of Texas provides a unique immersion environment supported by the German-Texan Heritage Society. Located in the heart of Austin, the program integrates German and US educational principles including Montessori methods and the Baden-Württemberg Orientierungsplan. With a focus on inquiry-based and student-centered learning, children from age 1.5 to 8 explore the physical and social world in a supportive, project-driven atmosphere. Director Constanze Heitkoetter leads a team of native speakers and highly qualified educators with certifications from the Goethe Institut. The facility features spacious, sun-filled classrooms and dedicated outdoor play spaces where students engage in nature and collaborative discovery. Core academic hours are supplemented by robust before- and after-care options, fostering a diverse community where students develop self-responsibility and cultural tolerance through a bilingual curriculum.
