Frido Mann - Book Reading
Always keep the dialogue open - this was the message of Frido Mann, grandson of Thomas Mann, on his visit at GISSV.
Events
Events are a great part of school life, bringing together all members of the GISSV community, and giving us an opportunity to celebrate and engage in conversations.
Among our recurring annual public events are a German Holiday Market, where we transform Downtown Mountain View into a bustling “holiday village” for a day, or the Laternenfest (Lantern Festival) on our San Francisco Campus with on-campus entertainment and a lantern parade through the neighborhood.
Campus events for the GISSV community celebrate American as well as German holidays, sportsmanship (Walk-a-Thon, soccer matches with schools in the Bay Area), music (talent show, concerts, joint musical productions with Bay Area institutions such as Stanford University) and more.
SF LANTERN FESTIVAL
The annual GISSV San Francisco Lantern Festival is a fun family event including German food & drinks and a lantern parade.
German Holiday Market
For the 6th time thousands of people celebrate an authentic German Holiday Market with us in 2018. GISSV can proudly say it has established the cherished "Weihnachtsmarkt" tradition in the Bay Area.
