Alexander von Humboldt German International School

Alexander von Humboldt German International School (AvH) is a unique trilingual institution located in Baie-D'Urfé, on the island of Montreal. Founded in 1980, the school offers an education that combines German academic traditions with Canadian and international standards. The school serves a diverse population of students from preschool through Grade 12, fostering a close-knit, multicultural community where German, English, and French are all core components of the curriculum.

AvH is recognized for its high academic standards and its commitment to providing a well-rounded education. Students can graduate with the German International Abitur (DIAP) and the Quebec High School Diploma, or they can pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. This dual-certification approach opens doors to universities in Germany, Canada, and throughout the world. Small class sizes allow for personalized attention and a supportive learning environment.

The school’s philosophy centers on the development of independent, socially responsible global citizens. The campus is set in a quiet, green residential area, providing a safe and conducive environment for learning. Facilities include a specialized science wing, a music room, and outdoor sports fields. AvH is a member of the network of German schools abroad (ZfA) and is a top choice for families seeking a European-influenced, multilingual education.
