Deutsche Schule Kobe International

Deutsche Schule Kobe International (DSKI) is a premier German international school and an IB World School situated in the culturally rich region of Central & Eastern Asia, specifically in the dynamic city of Kobe, Japan. Catering to children aged 2 to 11, DSKI holds a reputation for delivering an outstanding and innovative education that balances its esteemed German heritage with international values. With an intimate learning environment, the school maintains a small student body of 120 and an average class size of just 10, ensuring personalized attention and a nurturing atmosphere for every child.

At DSKI, education is approached holistically, integrating heart, head, and hands to inspire a love for learning. The school offers two distinct educational branches: the German branch and the International branch. The German branch focuses on native German speakers or families wishing to have core subjects taught in German, such as mathematics and the German language. The International (English) branch provides an entirely English curriculum, ideal for families seeking an English-medium education. Notably, DSKI ensures all students, regardless of the branch, receive compulsory Japanese lessons either as JFL (Japanese as a foreign language) or KOKUGO (Japanese as a native language), along with two weekly German lessons for International branch students. As an authorized IB school, DSKI embraces the Primary Years Programme (PYP), fostering an engaging and globally-minded educational experience.
