The German International School Toronto is an international community what welcomes not only German expat families, but any family that is interested in our unique offering. As a German School Abroad, we follow an advanced German curriculum and adhere to the Ontario curriculum. Students leaving the GIST have report cards that are recognised both locally and internationally.

While academics are important, we believe that a balanced and challenging program of character education lays the foundation for children’s educational success. For more information about our character education, click here.

  • Students may express themselves in their native language, which provides a great level of comfort
  • We offer a fully bilingual Kindergarten program
  • Our distinctive CHARAKTER program aims to educate the whole child by providing students with a moral compass for life
  • Students will experience a smooth transition back to Germany, into another German School Abroad or any other school of their choice
