Our school has a regular teaching staff of 25 teachers. We pride ourselves in selecting teachers with extensive teaching backgrounds. Many of them also teach during the week at other schools, such as the German International School Boston or local High Schools and Colleges.  The majority of our teachers are native German speakers. Many of our teachers have been teaching with our school for more than 10 years! Our teachers meet once a month for a faculty meeting with our principal, Claudia Bonmassar, to discuss curriculum questions, share new teaching tools and receive general school updates. In 2010, we named head teachers for specific grade levels who are are instrumental in helping their respective teachers addressing curriculum or student specific questions. 
 
If you have a child at our school and have a curriculum or student specific question that cannot be answered by your child's teacher, you can contact the respective head teacher:
