Global School Brooklyn’s Playdate Join us for a morning of fun in our outdoor playspace for children up to age 5. This event is a great way to explore our campus, meet new families and learn more about our German and Spanish immersion programs. Limited spots are available. 
Global School Brooklyn is a dual immersion international school for preschool through 8th grade students and an official German school abroad. Through our German–English and Spanish–English immersion programs, students experience meaningful bilingual learning. Our students develop strong language skills and a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and global perspectives. Our inquiry-based curriculum encourages students to ask questions, explore ideas, and make meaningful connections to the world around them. From the earliest years, children learn through hands-on activities, music, and play to help them acquire language naturally. As they progress into middle school, students take on increasingly complex concepts that challenge their thinking and prepare them for advanced study in both languages. Applications are now open for the '27-'28 school year and we are still admitting new students, on a case-by-case- basis, for the '26-'27 school year. Please contact us with any questions or for further information on tours and admissions deadlines. Date and Time: Saturday, October 17th 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Location: Global School Brooklyn, 760 Sterling Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11216 More Information: https://prekoct17.eventbrite.com |
