The DSB International School provides innovative curricular programmes in both the English section and German section from Kindergarten to Year 11.
Our programmes are based on the best practices of the National Curriculum of England and German Curriculum of Thűringen with adaptations to suit our student body.
We have identified the knowledge, skills and understanding, which are appropriate for our international learners and our teaching approaches take account of international research on effective classroom practice.
