Founded in 1996 as Die Deutsche Schule Spartanburg, GSU has grown into one of the Upstate's most established German language programs — serving families in Greenville and Spartanburg for nearly 30 years.
We believe the Carolinas' deep cultural and economic ties to German-speaking countries deserve a school that reflects that relationship. GSU is a non-profit school governed by volunteer board members, with one goal: make quality German education accessible, affordable, and lasting. Support from donors and sponsors helps us keep tuition affordable and expand access for families across the Upstate.
GSU admits students regardless of race, color, nationality, or ethnicity.
GSU relies on the participation of volunteers to operate at the most economical level possible and keep tuition affordable. If you'd like to contribute your time or skills, we'd love to hear from you.
