Information

March 30, 2020:  Gov. Larry Hogan issued a stay-at-home order for Marylanders which means no one should leave their home for any reason other than essential work, to get food or other fundamental reason. The order takes effect at 8 pm.
For the GISW this means:

1. All GISW buildings will be closed for the foreseeable future. 

2. In order to give our teachers and parents more time to prepare, we are postponing both parent nights that were scheduled for tonight to Thursday at the same time.

Distance Learning until Friday, April 24th, 2020.

We are here for you as we continue to prepare for the 2020/21 school year. The Admissions Office remains open. Please complete this form and we will contact you: https://giswashington.org/request-information-package.html

Afternoon Program 2019/20

Dear Parents,

The catalog for our Afternoon-Program for the school year 2019/2020 will be posted here before registration begins. We think you will find our diverse course offering attractive.

GRADES 5 THROUGH 12

> Course Descriptions for Afternoon Courses for Grades 5-12

THE REGISTRATION CLOSED ON AUGUST 16TH, 2019.

In order for a course to take place, there needs to be a minimum of in general 12 participants. In cases where more than the maximum number of participants is registered for a course, a drawing will decide which participants get a spot in that course and which are going to be placed in a different course. If there are enough teachers available a second group for that course will be created. In order to provide equal opportunities the chronological order in which participants registered is not taken into account.

1. CONTACTS:

If you have any questions concerning the Afternoon Program for grade 5 through grade 12, please contact Marc Loeckmann: mloeckmann@giswashington.org
