History

GSB was co-founded by Christine Krabs, [2] Kathrin Nagle, Muriel Plag, and Sonja Einoedter. It opened with grades Kindergarten through 2 in 2014. As of June 2025, the school has graduated 4 8th grade classes. In 2024 GSB added a preschool and in 2025 it added a Spanish programme.

The school was previously on the fifth floor of the Union Temple of Brooklyn in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The school was not a part of the temple's congregation even though they shared a building. [3] By 2021, its interim location was the former Coop School in the Bedford Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill area. In 2021, the school moved all levels to its new site at 9 Hanover Place in Downtown Brooklyn. [4] In January 2023, the school once again relocated to their new, very own building on 760 Sterling Place in Crown Heights.
