Deutsche Schule Melbourne

Deutsche Schule Melbourne (DSM), an accredited German School Abroad, opened its doors in 2008. We are located in the heart of Melbourne in North Fitzroy, Victoria, and offer the highest standard of bilingual education for primary school children up to Year 6.

If you are looking for an efficient and academic bilingual education for your child, Deutsche Schule Melbourne is the right place for you! The curriculum of Deutsche Schule Melbourne is based on the highly successful Canadian “Early Immersion Program” for bilingual schools and fulfils the requirements of both the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) and the Thuringia curricula, facilitating an easy transition for students transferring into the Australian or German school systems. Our academic focus is based in the area of languages and Mathematics. 80% of the subjects in the Foundation Year to Year 2 are taught in German. The proportion of classes taught in English gradually increases, so that by Year 6 half the subjects are taught in English and half in German. In addition, French is offered from Year 5 onwards.

Our vision is to help students realise their individual potential and become creative and confident participants in the global community. The international and family environment at our school prepares our children for an increasingly global environment and caters for families of German and/or English language backgrounds.
