Greetings GGIS Family ! Joni and I are over the moon to be back at " the happiest school in Hungary" as a former director of one of the other international schools once called GGIS. To us as with many others,  GGIS is  A Time, Not Just a Place !   A time in our lives not just a place we have been. How true!

Since 1991 our school has been an educational oasis to our global community. We are so excited and beyond blessed to return after 16 years away ( in Texas)  from school, but  never separated in spirit. I look forward to meeting parents, students and all of our community as we start this very exciting school year, filled with high  expectations and excitement and maybe even some doubts.  I would say  "Doubt your Doubts" !  
Galatians 6:9 Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good...We are all here, united to prepare our students for life.  It will not be easy but as the former Hungarian president  Goncz Arpad  once said of GGIS " no nobler unity can be created than what you have achieved within the walls of your school".
Grace to you.
Mr. C Managing Director

As we celebrate the beginning of our 34th year as an international school here in Budapest, we are happy to be part of the ever changing scenery educational theory offers.Our expected student outcomes include being Responsible Learners and Critical Thinkers. We desire for students to be prepared to answer tomorrow's questions which requires their effective use of technology while avoiding its over dependency.

Our class sizes stop at 20 which provide the opportunity for additional support from teachers. We operate with Morality, Discipline, and Respect as both "True North" for our compass and a daily aspiration in our pursuit of genuine intelligence.Abraham Lincoln is credited for saying, "I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday." We desire to work with families in making the men and women who are prepared for tomorrow.

Sincerely,

James K. Schirmer
