Teaching Staff

My name is Christine Gehres, and I have worked at the GSLW since 2003. I am a German native, and completed part of my university studies in Germany. I have also worked in Germany until I came to the US as an expatriate. I founded the Mommy & Me program with another mother in 2006. I have substitute taught various levels and have taught the second grade for the full-time. More recently, I taught an adult beginner class. I am the current principal of GLSW, and help out wherever necessary. I have had to learn the English language as a foreigner, and understand what GLSW students experience when learning German as a foreign language. I have also served on the GLSW board as Vice President when GLSW was stationed at our previous location of Berkley School. I was glad to step in as principal when the need arose in 2016.
