“Guten Tag!”

I had the pleasure of working as the elementary teacher here at German ISD and now looking forward to extending my passion for the German language and culture in my role as School Director.

I grew up in a small town in der Eifel in Germany and received my state recognized Educator Credential from the Fachhochschule in Prüm. After moving to the USA, I continued my education and received my early childhood director certification for the state of Colorado in 1991. In 2016 I decided to follow my children to Texas and found this amazing school that has become my second home.

Here at German ISD we provide a learning environment deeply rooted in the central European culture and education system, and we also encourage the development of a global perspective and community building.

Since German ISD’s founding in 2009, we remain the only German language immersion program in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex providing full-time, weekday German language instruction to children 12 months to 13 years old.

From day one, students are exposed to German language and culture in a warm and supportive environment. Our preschool is a fully immersion Reggio Emilia inspired program. Our motivated team of educators believes in the balance of academics and play, which enhances growth and development of the children in all areas: physically, socially, emotionally, creatively, and intellectually.

German ISD expanded its educational curriculum to include an Elementary and Middle School starting with Kindergarten through 7h grade.

Our school’s unique program has numerous opportunities for your child to learn and grow into a successful student and well-rounded global citizen. As parents, you have a wide variety of schools in the Metroplex to choose from. However, there is one choice when it comes to the best of German education, culture, language, and a place that feels a bit like home back in good-old Germany – and it is GERMAN ISD.
