Our Vision
In this dynamic world we provide our learners with skills and values to become balanced, capable and responsible members of our global society.

Our Mission
We are a bilingual German International School offering both South African and German university entrance qualifications.

Unlocking Talent
We offer our learners an outstanding academic education through individual support and the opportunity for each child to develop academically, socially and personally according to his or her full potential.

German Philosophy of Education
We empower our learners according to the German philosophy of education which emphasises independent and critical thinking, problem-solving and autonomous learning. We encourage our learners to take initiative, to collaborate and adapt confidently to changing circumstances.

German Language
We foster a culture of languages at our school. The German language, which is central to our school, is key to a multitude of opportunities, nationally and internationally.

Building Bridges
As a German International School in South Africa, founded on Christian and Humanistic values, we build bridges between societies and cultures. We embrace our diversity and foster exceptional social and environmental consciousness, open-mindedness and mutual respect.

Our learners are educated by South African and German teachers to become independent and critical-thinking human beings, who are able to take responsibility for themselves and others.
On the assumption of varied talent and performance we place particular emphasis on the appropriate support and on sustainable learning, which enable our learners to develop their academic, social and personal potential to the best of their abilities. Our graduates are socially competent, competitive and are team players.
