GISSV Saturday School - Mountain View, CA

DSS School Principals’ Conference:
Susan Malone, Head of GISSV’s Saturday School, represented our program at the DSS Schulleiterkonferenz (ZfA USA & Canada), a leadership conference for principals and school leaders of Saturday schools across Canada and North America.

The conference offered workshops and discussion groups focused on program development, teaching practice, and updates from the ZfA. Susan connected with fellow school leaders to network, gather resources and strategies, and bring back new contacts and ideas to support our teachers, set goals, and plan for the future of our program.

A big thank you to Forum Deutsch and the ZfA for organizing this valuable event 🤝.
