German European School Singapore

Willkommen, bienvenu, salve, bienvenidos, welkom, huan-yin … these are some of the languages spoken at the GESS; languages with which we get to know each other, with which we acquire knowledge and skills and the attitude required by our students to grow in independence and tolerance and become responsible citizens. This applies to children of all nationalities at our school aged from 18 months to 18 years.

What makes our work successful?

We place a great deal of emphasis on individualised support. That is why our classes are small, providing opportunities for differentiation in lessons which are aimed at allowing each of our students to fulfil their personal potential. Dedicated teachers and modern equipment in our classrooms ensure that this can be put into practice in every class.

Apart from academic excellence, the numerous and varied opportunities to engage in the creative or sporting activities as well as taking on social responsibility in community projects play an important part in our holistic education. These are many reasons contributing to our recognition as an one of the first "German Partner School Abroad".
The success of our educational work is dependent on close contact with parents as well as the continual and systematic professional development of our teachers. And last but not least, the quality of our service is continually assessed both by the external examiner sent to us by the German Education authorities (Kultusministerkonferenz) and the IB. One particularly pleasing results of our work was the accreditation as an "Excellent German School Abroad" following a German federal school inspection in January 2009. GESS was one of the first schools worldwide to achieve this.
We hope you enjoy your virtual journey around our school through this website, which contains lots of useful information.
