Growing leading Minds! DSB is a global community school where we aim to maximize every student’s potential. Class sizes are small, averaging under 15 students. This allows for personalized learning. Our educational philosophy, supporting excellence in all our students, is succinctly summarised by our learning aims and values: Learning is life-long, learning is dynamic, learning is meaningful, we value every effort, we value responsible thinking and we value each other. We are proud of our German heritage and maintain strong links with German organizations and schools. Our student population is diverse and represents numerous nationalities and communities from 30 countries across the globe. Our staff also comes from many countries, bringing with them an international perspective, that is at the heart of our identity as an international school. We strive to make our students internationally minded, change-makers of the future. At DSB, we offer the National Curriculum of England and German Curriculum of Thuringia. These curricula cater to students up to Grade 8 – between the ages of 3 to 14. We also offer the Cambridge IGCSE programme in Grade 9 and 10, as well as the IB Diploma Programme in Grade 11 and 12.
