German School Brooklyn (GSB, German: Deutsche Schule Brooklyn) is a German international school in Downtown Brooklyn in New York City.

It is categorized as a German school abroad by the Central Agency for German Schools Abroad (Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen).[1]

History[]

Christine Krabs co-founded the school.[2] It opened with grades Kindergarten through 2 in 2014 and has plans to expand to grade 12.[3]

The school was previously on the fifth floor of the Union Temple of Brooklyn in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The school was not a part of the temple's congregation even though it shared a building.[4] Grades K-3 were scheduled to remain at the temple while grades 4 and onwards were scheduled to move to a renovated property in Crown Heights.[5] By 2021 its interim location was the former Coop School in the Bedford Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill area. In 2021 the school moved all levels to its permanent site at 9 Hanover Place in Downtown Brooklyn.[6]
