German European School Singapore (GESS)

German European School Singapore (GESS) is one of Singapore's most established international schools, offering a unique multicultural and multilingual education to students from age 18 months through grade 13 (ages 3-19). Founded in 1977, GESS has grown into a vibrant community of approximately 1,700 students representing over 60 nationalities. The school operates two curriculum streams: the German programme aligned with the German national curriculum leading to the Abitur qualification, and the English international programme offering the IB Primary Years Programme and IB Diploma Programme. Both streams share a common campus at Dairy Farm Road, fostering multicultural exchange and community. GESS is fully accredited by the Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK) for its German programme and by the International Baccalaureate Organisation. Exceptional facilities include a 25-metre pool, sports hall, performing arts theatre, science laboratories, and dedicated early childhood learning spaces. GESS has a strong tradition of academic excellence, with Abitur and IB Diploma graduates earning places at leading universities in Germany, Singapore, the UK, USA, and worldwide. The school's bilingual, intercultural ethos makes it a top choice for German-speaking and international families in Singapore.
