As an excellent accredited German School Abroad, we look forward to welcoming your child to our school.

DSH hosts students from all three German-speaking countries as well as children from many other regions and, of course, Egypt. We are proud of the diversity of our students, as multinationality brings with it multiculturalism, linguistic diversity and broadening of horizons.

By developing curiosity, acceptance and social skills, we encourage our students to engage in mutual exchange and give them the opportunity to feel at home in a more and more intercultural world.

At the same time, European-German values are deeply rooted in our school culture. The Thuringian curriculum, enhanced by methodological skills and the use of new media, underlies all learning at DSH. The language of instruction is German; Arabic is taught as a native or foreign language. English is added as an additional language from grade 3. In order to do justice to children with non-German mother tongues, there are additional DaF (German as a foreign language) lessons at the DSH elementary school, which are firmly anchored in the timetable.

All-day concept with small classes

In accordance with the all-day school concept, classes for grades 1-4 are held from 8:30 am to 3:45 pm. Afterwards, there is the opportunity to attend private music, sports or dance lessons on the school’s premises. Through this structure, the children experience school not only as a learning space, but also as a living space.

We consider the small number of students at the DSH elementary school to be a rarity and a special privilege – between 8 and 18 students are taught in grades 1-4 with a lot of fun and energy. These ideal conditions and the work with weekly schedules allow not only independent work, but also a decidedly individual care of our primary school children.
