From the German-American School and Pine Street School today:

Hi Emily,

The German-American School Manhattan (GSM) and Pine Street Middle School in the Financial District have forged a new partnership that benefits families who value inquiry-based learning and language programs.  

Starting next school year, GSM graduates can transition smoothly to Pine Street and continue their German immersion. At Pine Street, this means the launch of a new dedicated and dynamic German language track.

In today’s world, cross-cultural understanding and language skills are table stakes for future success.

  • Continuity in Learning: GSM students enjoy a smooth continuation of their German language immersion, while any new student at  Pine Street Middle School has the opportunity to join a dynamic German language track.
  • Shared Educational Vision: The alignment of both schools under the IB framework reinforces a strong, consistent academic foundation.
  • Convenient Location: Both campuses are located in Downtown Manhattan, just a 15-minute walk apart, making transitions and combined events convenient for families who are looking for an innovative, engaging, multilingual, and multicultural education. 
  • Cross-Cultural Diversity: This partnership aligns the diverse backgrounds of GSM families with Pine Street’s commitment to inclusivity and a global perspective.
