COVID-19: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please check this page regularly for the latest information on our learning programs and school activities
School-Wide Protective Measures
We hope everyone has had a restful and meaningful holiday season! Due to the latest Corona protective measures put forth by the state and federal government, all learning – across all school sections and classes – will continue remotely for the month of January. Emergency supervision will be offered only to students of grades 1-6, who have no possibility of being supervised at home. Although we would of course have much preferred to welcome your children back to school in person, we support the approach of the state and the federal government in the current very unclear situation regarding the status of the spread of Covid-19. We are confident that we can offer your children the best opportunities to continue their learning path successfully with our tested and meanwhile established distance learning concepts. Please feel free to contact our School Leadership Team with any questions you may have.
We wish you all strength, patience and positivity in this time. We will notify you immediately, as soon as the situation changes.

Our Admissions Office is available Monday-Friday to answer any inquiries and discuss enrollment at Cologne International School.
