Today the GISSV students have had the chance to see an exhibition on communism organized by the German Historical Museum (Deutschen Historischen Museum) right here on their campus.
25 posters have adorned the classroom walls and doors of the middle- and high-school alley.
This transnationally-mobile exhibition has been traveling from Germany to 550 locations around the world.
The German holiday spirit is coming to California!
As in every year, the GISSV is organising a Weihnachtsmarkt for the whole Mountain View community.
Teachers, parents, and students are all involved!
Technology and art blend seamlessly together in these art-works displayed inside and around the GISSV library.
Old CD-ROMS are hanging from the roof, carton boxes have been transformed into ‘old media’ (cassettes and Gameboys), and the keys of old keyboards along with buttons and other ‘trash’ are re-purposed into expressionistic art pieces.
This brings the notion of “recycle, reuse, re-purpose” to a whole new level!
The GISSV is taking part in an eco-initiative.
In order to go green, several projects are going on at the same time: a recycling competition, a paper-challenge event, and a “walk/bike to school day” each Thursday.
I sure hope that they will win the competition and there will be pizza and cake for everyone 🙂
The world is their oyster.
Students at GISSV are playing on the European and the American continents everyday!
The GISSV is colorful and friendly in all respects.
I am struck by the individuality, creativity, and diversity expressed around campus.
My first day at the GISSV.
The Mountain View campus is very welcoming and definitely very global!
In the context of the Bundestag elections in Germany, students at Instituto Ballester conducted their own elections at school.
Here are their Election results!
“Drug addiction” – this is the topic of today’s English language class.
11th grade students are watching a film about this topic on the digital whiteboard.
In this project students learn urban agriculture.
In this way, they can start growing their own organic vegetables at home!
