Deutsche Schule Durban

General information

The Deutsche Schule Durban is an independent co-educational German primary school that offers a holistic education for children between the ages of 3 and 13, from Kindergarten to Grade 7.

In an increasingly globalised world, there are more and more families choosing to give their child the benefit of German as an additional language. Pupils from homes where no German is spoken are very welcome but have to join in Kindergarten so that they have a firm grasp of the language by the time they enter Grade R.

Our teaching is based on the South African and German curricula and aims to develop the children holistically, instilling positive values. From Kindergarten onward, all children have regular sports and music lessons and participate in fun events throughout the year such as Fasching (carnival) and Laternenfest (lantern festival).

At present there are approximately 150 pupils in our school and the school has developed into a well-known educational institution in the Durban area, with top local high schools eager to recruit its grade 7 school leavers.

Die Deutsche Schule Durban ist eine Privatschule mit der Unterrichtssprache Deutsch und bietet seit ihrer Gründung im Jahre 1971 eine vielseitige Schulbildung für Kinder vom Kindergarten bis zur 7. Klasse.

Die DSD ist Mitglied der Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA). Unsere Schüler kommen sowohl aus deutschsprachigen Familien wie auch zunehmend aus nicht-deutschsprachigen Familien. Etwa 150 Schüler besuchen zur Zeit die DSD.
