Admission Process

"Why German?" That’s the question my family/friends always ask. But the truth is, I didn’t choose AvH solely for the German language. I chose this school for its unique teaching methods. The small class sizes are a luxury, providing personalized attention and a nurturing environment. The way children are taught to think critically and creatively, and the love for learning they’ve instilled in our daughter, exceeds our expectations. AvH’s commitment to its STEAM program, along with passionate teachers and a rich curriculum, makes it the perfect fit for our family.

As a non-German-speaking family, we are amazed at how our daughter became fluent in German after just two years at AvH preschool. She loved the outdoor activities and community walks, waking up excited for school every day, even wanting to join the after-school program!

In this vibrant, multicultural environment, she has formed friendships with children from diverse backgrounds and developed passions for art, math, chess, and cooking. Communication with her teachers has been excellent, making us feel supported as non-German speakers.

We are grateful to be part of this exceptional community. If you're seeking a nurturing environment that inspires a love for learning, AvH is the perfect choice.

Attending the Alexander von Humboldt German International School in Montreal was a transformative journey that laid the foundation for my diverse academic and professional achievements. As an Italian-Canadian, the school’s immersive environment made me quadrilingual and familiar with German culture, setting the stage for my studies in Europe. The nurturing yet rigorous German International Abitur program prepared me for challenges and opportunities on a global scale, enabling me to pursue my passions across continents. I am immensely grateful for the doors that AvH has opened for me. From leading teams and developing successful business strategies to creating social initiatives and representing Canada internationally, the skills I gained at AvH have been instrumental in shaping my path. This unique education instilled in me the values of leadership, community service, and lifelong learning. The school’s community continues to be a cornerstone of my network, enriching my life in many ways. My journey from AvH to becoming a public servant and board member underscores the unparalleled opportunities that a German International education can provide.
