German International School Boston (GISB) officially opened its doors to 134 students in preschool through grade 3 this Fall at a newly renovated school building at 46 Belmont Street in Watertown, MA.
The school building was inaugurated by the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany Dr. Sonja Kreibich at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 7, 2025. State Representative Steven Owens and Watertown District A City Councilor Nicole Gardner joined the GISB Board of Trustees, the Facility Committee, parents, friends, donors, and staff to celebrate the milestone.
The new Lower Campus allows for growth across all grade levels, and features a bilingual library, a dedicated music room, a teaching kitchen for young chefs, and gymnasium complete with a performance stage. Across the Charles River in Allston, GISB’s renovated Upper Campus at 57 Holton Street now features two new fully equipped science labs, dedicated rooms for music and art, a new lunchroom, and updated classrooms throughout.
For her years of dedicated service as Chair of the Facilities Committee, GISB Board Member Alexandra “Lexie” Gross received the prestigious German American Friendship Award from the Federal Republic of Germany.
The honor was presented by Dr. Sonja Kreibich who praised GISB’s mission “setting students on the path to becoming open-minded and independent people. We are so glad to have GISB in Boston.”
