ADMISSIONS
We understand the importance of choosing a school that will nurture your child's individual potential and allow them to thrive. As one of the leading international schools in Hong Kong, our Admissions team is at your service to guide you through the application process from Kindergarten to Secondary levels. From the moment you start the process of enrolling your child to the day they walk through the school for the very first time, we are here to make it as easy as possible. We believe in providing an environment where students can be happy and flourish, and we're committed to helping families find the right fit for their child's education.
We understand that the choice between the German and English International Stream is an important one, and we encourage families to carefully consider their options before applying. Once a student has been admitted to either stream, we work hard to ensure their academic journey is fulfilling and engaging. We believe in supporting our students throughout their educational journey from start to finish which is why we do not recommend changing streams mid-way as it can disrupt the continuity of their learning experience. Our aim is to help students achieve their full potential within their chosen curriculum, and we strive to provide the necessary resources and assistance to make this possible.
GERMAN INTERNATIONAL STREAM (GIS)
GIS runs from DKG1 to K12 (3 to 18 years old) and follows a German curriculum where the medium of instruction is German. Children enrolling in Kindergarten (DKG1-DKG2) and Pre-Primary (DVOR) are taught in German and English and need to be able to communicate well in either language.
KINDERGARTEN

We offer bilingual German and English classes where both languages are taught equally. Students learn in a cross-stream environment, ensuring a balanced and immersive language learning experience.
PRIMARY

We follow the German school curriculum, the State of Thuringia, and in Pre-Primary (DVOR) we offer bilingual German and English classes. From K01 onwards, the language of instruction is primarily German.
SECONDARY
K05 - K12 (10 - 18 years old)
Leading to the German International Abitur Diploma (DIA), students are educated by the German school curriculum, the State of Thuringia, with subjects taught in English and bilingually in German and English.
