The Deutsche Internationale Schule Kapstadt is firmly established as a place of mutual encounter in the educational environment of the Western Cape. The unique location of the school at the foot of Lion’s Head, in the centre of one of the most well-known and beautiful cities of the world, gives it a special advantage.
The DSK has a proud history spanning 120 years and, while retaining its roots in tradition, it is future-orientated and offers all children and young people from South Africa, as well as from the German-speaking areas of Europe, quality education of a high standard.
As a place of mutual encounter the DSK in Cape Town fulfils a special role by leading young people of various origins and languages to the scheduled final qualifications (Matric and Abitur).
In practising bilingualism throughout, a valuable contribution is made towards a better understanding and communication between people and nations. Teachers and parents work together as partners. The school was founded upon Christian and humanistic values. It welcomes the enrichment by people of other religious persuasions.
In particular we aim to:
- support the academic performance, willingness and ability of each learner according to his/her personal talent;
- equip him/her to act responsibly and be able to form independent judgements;
encourage him/her to become involved in the community.
The DSK offers German-speaking children a Primary School education in accordance with German curricula. Non-German-speaking children are prepared for the integrated Senior School. School life is enriched with a variety of activities in the fields of music/culture, the sciences and sport. The school enables its learners to acquire the university entrance qualifications for South African and German Universities.
