The German International School of Houston is located in the Medical Center area. GIS - Houston began in 2009. The school offers a German-English Dual-Language Immersion Program for children two to five years old. Students approach both languages and cultures naturally through play, story time and music. Students explore the world around them through hands-on activities such as art, math and science projects, and fine/gross motor exercises in a developmentally appropriate environment. Knowledge of the German and/or English language is not required. GIS - Houston also offers summer camps for children two to nine years old.
