Teaching applicants must have a four-year university degree. A valid teaching certificate from their home country is preferred. All international staff raise the majority of their finances. Most do this through a missions sending organization. All applicants must have a personal faith in Jesus Christ, believing that a relationship with God is made possible through faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ and not by personal merit or effort.

Our History

GDQ’s founders were among the first missionary families in Albania after the fall of communism in 1991. GDQ began the fall of 1993, encouraged by God’s obvious intervention, with six preschoolers and one teacher. As the missionary community grew, the need arose for a larger, yet affordable program. With multiple moves and the addition of grade levels over the years, we now find ourselves on two campuses (grades K-8 and grades 9-12). In 2014 we earned accredited status with ACSI and MSA. We are a certified testing center for Cambridge International Exams and the College Board. We are currently meeting the educational needs of about 80 families and 140 plus students in grades K-12.

What We Do

Founded in 1993 and located in Tirana, Albania, GDQ International Christian School seeks to provide a Christ-centered, academically enriching, international education for the missionary and international business community. GDQ is the only K-12 international school option in the city where subject matter and biblical truth are integrated within the context of a diverse international community of students. We are a place where children are inspired to learn, equipped to critically analyze content, and encouraged to share their opinions and beliefs with the goal of becoming independent thinkers who reflect on information from a biblical worldview. Our end goals seek to develop our students socially, emotionally, academically, physically, and spiritually.
