GESS is a not-for-profit school providing education to 1,600 students from more than 50 nationalities. The GESS philosophy of “learning to live and to give” forms the backbone of its approach to education as the school supports and nurtures its students to become balanced, responsible and informed world citizens.Since its foundation in 1971, the school has evolved into a one school – two system organisation. The European Section offers all three International Baccalaureate Programmes (PYP, MYP, DP) in English. As a German government accredited “Excellent German School Abroad”, the German Section of GESS offers all German school leaving certificates. GESS focuses on European languages and culture. For Dutch and Danish students the school offers a mother-tongue programme fully integrated in the curriculum of the European section with no additional costs. The Dutch programme is developed in cooperation with Rijnsland Education Worldwide. A similar mother-tongue programme has been developed for Danish students as well, offering Danish lessons from preschool onwards and for Primary School it is intregrated into the time table(5 lessons per week)with no additional costs.
