St. Kilian’s German School/Eurocampus in Dublin welcomes girls and boys of all nationalities, cultures, and religions. While we follow the Irish curriculum to Junior and Leaving Certificate we place a strong emphasis on the German Language and offer a parallel curriculum (Sek1) to those students able to pursue a course in a limited number of subjects through German. Knowledge of German is not a requirement for enrolment in our Kindergarten, Primary or Secondary School (1st or 4th year). Our modern and forward-thinking approach to teaching German allows pupils to learn the language effectively and enjoyably – from the age of four in Kindergarten through to Leaving the Certificate. As a result, our students leave St. Kilian’s with a highly proficient standard of German above and beyond the demands of the Leaving Certificate they have an excellent sense of self as young adults and can confidently take their place in universities in Ireland and abroad. We aim to prepare students for life as citizens of Europe and to set targets for them that challenge their abilities. The establishment of the Euro campus in 2001, when the Secondary School of the Lycée Français d’Irlande relocated to the St. Kilian’s Clonskeagh campus, was the first step towards providing a true European style education for Dublin. We offer a diverse, inclusive yet challenging environment, enriched with a strong sense of Irish, German and European culture. We foster independence of thought, a love of learning, personal responsibility, confidence, and integrity. We aim to enable all our students to fulfill their potential and to take their place in an ever-changing world. Our mission, as an educational community, is the pursuit of excellence from Kindergarten to Leaving Certificate. We are proud of the way our students go out into the world as articulate, confident, and self-assured graduates of St. Kilian’s. St. Kilian’s German School in south Dublin welcomes boys and girls of all nationalities, cultures, and religions. Children learn German from Kindergarten (Junior Infants) up to Leaving Certificate in a diverse and inclusive environment. Our approach to education combines the best of the Irish and German educational traditions: students are prepared for the Junior and Leaving Certificate as well as the German Sprachdiplom and Sek-1 examinations. Knowledge of German is not a requirement to enroll at St. Kilian’s. St. Kilian’s German School is a German/Irish school with European culture and spirit. It is a co-educational, inter-denominational school spanning the full educational cycle from Kindergarten to Leaving Certificate. It is named after the Irish saint, Kilian, who was known for his love of study and who traveled through Europe as a missionary. St Kilian’s school cherishes the values and traditions of Europe’s Christian civilization. We are committed to creating and nurturing a caring environment where the individual’s dignity and integrity are affirmed and valued in an atmosphere of honesty, trust, and compassion.

The German School of London currently has around 885 pupils from more than 30 nations. We are an international, open-minded community that embraces diversity and the respectful exchange of ideas. We strive to empower our pupils, encouraging them to be self-reliant and to assume responsibility on a local level within an international context. We consider ourselves a learning organization in which all players – pupils, parents, and staff – work hand in hand. We are all committed to a trusting and constructive mindset. The DSL is part of a long-standing tradition of excellence in the worldwide network of more than 140 German Schools Abroad. All are independent schools accredited and supported by the Federal Republic of Germany. We cater to pupils from Kindergarten through the bilingual Abitur and the IB diploma. DSL offers an appealing and challenging educational program with a specific emphasis on the German language and culture. The German School London offers an excellent and broad education leading from kindergarten to Abitur/IB. Primary School is an integral part. The Primary School takes pupils in Years 1 to 4. We talk at length with both parents and children before admission. Knowledge of German is a requirement for admission to the Primary School at the DSL. Parents must actively support the use of German. For children who have reached the age of six by 30 September (i.e. one month after the start of the school year) school attendance at the German School is compulsory. However, parents may apply for “early enrolment” if their children have reached the age of six before 31 December of the new school year. All children who have applied for “early enrolment”, including those who already attend our Pre-School, will take a so-called "Kann-Kinder-Test" (test for optional future pupils) early in the summer to ascertain whether they are ready to attend school. Only after this can parents discuss possible enrolment with the Head of the Primary School. Kindergarten is exempt from the UK Early Years Foundations Stage Curriculum. Instead, our curriculum is based on the guidelines outlined by the state of Baden-Württemberg and forms the basis of our education in Kindergarten and Pre-School. We are a bilingual Kindergarten, teaching both German and English, with German being a priority, to support our children to access the curriculum of the German Primary School. In addition to our educational and learning program, we have a duty of care for the Safeguarding and Welfare of our children, as outlined by the Early Years Foundation Stage. The setting also aims to provide advice and information to parents and carers, thereby fulfilling an important role in complementing and supporting the child within the family. The first five years at Secondary School at the DSL are Years 5 to 9 and 10 respectively. Year 5 is an orientation stage at the end of which pupils are advised which school type is recommended for them. From Year 6 pupils are streamed into the appropriate school type: Hauptschule, Realschule, or Gymnasium. Hauptschule pupils finish school at the end of Year 9 Realschule pupils finish school at the end of Year 10. The DSL complies with the guidelines of the German Federal States Committee for School Education Abroad (BLASchA) and follows the educational standards of Baden-Württemberg. Since the academic year 2008-2009, the upper years of Secondary School have been Years 10, 11, and 12. Years 11 and 12 form the qualification stage, which is concluded with the leaving examination. This qualification enables students to go on to German and British universities. Pupils from Year 8 onwards can use the LRC’s five computers, a quiet zone with 12 workspaces, relevant reference literature, and other modern learning materials as well as find information about universities. The LRC helps to organize readings and book fairs, as well as presentations on topics such as “Academic Honesty” and competitions such as “DSL young jury for the German youth literature prize”. The German School has a network of external psychologists and other specialists. Appointments are made with them directly. Some of the tests can take place in the German School. The entire treatment will be invoiced in the end. As such tests can take several hours the appointments are carefully scheduled. Our Safeguarding team, as required by the English school system, is there to make sure that our pupils grow up and learn in a stable, safe environment and get the support they need should this become necessary. To reflect on our processes and procedures at the school, we have established various forms of feedback at the DSL. This includes, for example, feedback between pupils and teachers, among colleagues, or between pupils, parents, and colleagues. Teachers give feedback to pupils in the form of so-called quarter-notes, which inform the pupils about their performance in the middle of the semester and provide them with information on how they can improve their performance. In our regular parent council meetings, we record the results of the "Round Tables" (topic-related exchanges with pupils, parents, and teachers) in German and English and make these accessible to all parents. At the beginning of each session, we present further developments on these of the previous rounds. At the end of the year, there will be a plenary exchange on the very year. This also provides us with a first outlook for the coming year. View full school

The DISJ is an acknowledged German school abroad that is close to the Red Sea, in the beautiful port city of Jeddah. The Mission Statement of the German International School Jeddah (DISJ) has been in existence since 2004/2005. In 2011, the respective committees decided on new specific principles and the Mission Statement was completely edited as well as newly written. It expresses the values shared by the school's pupils, teachers, parents, and employees. It influences our way of acting and thinking and is obligatory for the entire school community. Our Mission Statement consists of the following eight guiding principles: The DISJ is an acknowledged German school abroad which maintains a high level of quality from kindergarten up to IB The DISJ is a school for families with a German language background and for those who plan a future in a culture of the German language. Working together in a democratic and confident atmosphere offers everybody a sense of belonging and solidarity within the school. This is based on a European liberal understanding. Respect and tolerance are a solid foundation for productive cooperation between teachers and students. The school takes advantage of its cultural diversity among students and their parents. At the DISJ we equally encourage and demand that students work to their highest ability. This is an open and constantly changing process. Furthermore, we support the individual development of every child and young adult. The DISJ’s main focus is on language education. The Kindergarten at the DISJ is made up of two groups, 3 to 4-year-old 'Caterpillars' and 4 to 5-year-old 'Butterflies'. All children spend playtime together. That way the young ones can learn from the older children. First, we begin with our morning circle, which we use specifically to introduce new subjects and discuss the daily routine. The subjects are inspired by the different seasons and traditional festivities in Germany. Songs and creative works are chosen fittingly to the subjects and if possible, we end the subject with a trip. To make the entrance into the German language easier for our Kindergarten children, we offer German as a foreign language (DaF) four times a week. Here the children in small groups, are playfully introduced to the German language, here the learning level is consistently increased. After the second year of Kindergarten, it is time to move to preschool, or rather the 'Wobbly Tooth' group. This year is the preparation year for the first grade. Through differentiated exercises, the children develop concentration and increase their stamina to blossom their mathematically logical imagination. Additionally, to the language-sensitive daily routine, there is also specific German language training. Generally, it is important to our teachers, especially in these early years, to offer every child the possibility to develop their personality, become independent, and explore the world around them. For that, we want to offer a space of security, in which the child can grow in a known and loving atmosphere while feeling respected and happy. In September DISJ welcomed new first graders for the 43rd time to begin their school journey in our Elementary School. Together with those who have been with us for a while, they will learn from each other about their diverse cultural backgrounds within a nurturing environment where every voice is heard. In our vibrant school community, all children are immersed in German culture and traditions. DISJ is a “Deutsche Auslandsschule” (German school abroad). Our language of instruction is German. Students who lack language proficiency are receiving DaF- lessons. (German as a foreign language) As in other German schools abroad, our Elementary School follows the curriculum of Thüringen state in all subjects. (Except Arabic Mother Tongue) During the afternoons the students can choose among a large variety of age group tailored extracurricular activities. During vacation language and culture, camps are offered in Germany. At DISJ Elementary School we believe that learning is not just about the acquisition of facts. With an eye on the future, we have a holistic approach to learning and teaching to develop critical, independent thinkers and confident leaders. Differentiation is used in our classrooms to meet each student’s individual needs. Together with our Elementary faculty, we support the children as they demonstrate responsibility, respect, friendship, kindness, and honesty. We know that these foundational years are truly a once in a –lifetime experience and it’s our privilege to partner with families through this important time. After primary school, the Orientation level in year 5 follows. The respective teachers will assess the pupils’ acquired proficiency level during this year. Accordingly, the pupils will be assigned to three acknowledged German proficiency levels (“Hauptschule”, “Realschule” or “Gymnasium”). The change from one level/type of school to another remains possible depending on the child’s performance and the decision of the class conference (= the respective teachers have to decide on this issue). At the end of the 10th grade, the final examinations for the intermediate school certificate (Realschulabschluss or Ü11) take place. In years 6 to 10, grammar-school teaching will be adjusted for pupils with “Hauptschul-level” or “Realschul-level”. French is compulsory for grammar-school pupils as a second foreign language. The pupils can acquire different degrees: Certificate of completion of compulsory basic schooling (Hauptschulabschluss) after year 9 Intermediate School Certificate after year 10 Authorization to the upper school (Gymnasiale Oberstufe) after year 10. Homework supervision in the 6th lesson will take place if necessary. Pupils with difficulties in the German language will receive special remedial education in the subject “German as a foreign language” (DaF) if possible. The pupil can also receive additional lessons in French, English, or Arabic (for example the DELF offer of the Alliance Française). The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB-DP) is taught in the upper school. It is a good replenishment of the German Curriculum which ceases after year 10 and the intermediate school certificate. The IB-DP curriculum is drawn up and provided by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). After the successful completion of the entire two-year Diploma Programme, the pupils receive the “Gemischtsprachiges International Baccalaureate” (GIB) as a final diploma. The GIB is comparable to the German Abitur and has been an acknowledged diploma in Germany since 1986 (see KMK→Hochschulzugang). This diploma gives the students international access to universities. IIn the IB-DP six subjects will be taught which are respectively assigned to six subject groups (Group 1: Studies in language and literature, Group 2: Language acquisition Group 3: Individuals and Societies Group 4: Sciences Group 5: Mathematics Group 6: The arts). The pupils choose courses from the six subject groups taking three subjects at a higher level (HL) and three at standard level (SL). Two out of the six subjects have to be language courses (Group 1 and 2) – one will be taught on a level of a native speaker, the other is a language acquisition course. Furthermore, one subject is chosen from Group 3, Group 4, and Group 5 is mandatory. The sixth subject can be freely chosen from all subject areas and artistic subjects offered at the school.
