At Dresden International School, children from age 1 to Grade 12 grow into curious, independent, and compassionate global citizens. Our full-day, English-taught IB programme combines academic excellence with a caring, diverse community – preparing students for success at top universities in Germany and around the world.
Starting 7 May, our doors are open every first Thursday of the month. Whether in the morning or afternoon, you’re welcome to stop by, explore our preschool, and meet our team—no sign-up required. Just come when it works for you!
With the structure of the new building now complete, we came together to celebrate the “Richtfest”, a traditional topping-out ceremony on 15 January 2026.
We are thrilled to announce that our great co-curricular program Semester 2 for Primary and Secondary students starts after the Winter Break. We know how important these programs are for our students to be connected, have fun, extend their learning, and to feel part of the community.
The preschool students (ages 1-5) learn in a beautiful, historic villa with large grounds in Dresden-Blasewitz. The environment is child centred, based on best early childhood learning practices provided by highly qualified, dedicated and caring staff.
Students from Kindergarten and from Grade 1 to Grade 12 study at the school campus in Dresden-Altstadt. The modern campus facilities with a large sports hall offer excellent opportunities for students to progress in their learning successfully at all ages.
At DIS, I gained a broad education, the freedom to pursue my passions, invaluable time management skills, and the support of incredible teachers who encouraged my growth—all while connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.
