World citizens made in Dresden

Our Kindergarten teacher Ingrid Ellis was honoured with the Christa Peterson International Teacher Award at the end of the school year. This monetary award recognizes faculty who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in strengthening DIS’ international-mindedness.

We are absolutely delighted to introduce our new dragon mascot. The dragon is full of life, and fun! A real opportunity to start building some spirit around the school!

In responding to the act of racial violence and injustice DIS staff and school leaders have drafted a statement which we shared with our community. Within our Anti-Racism Statement to the DIS Community, we have indicated how we intend to work on concrete measures that address and counter racism in our work as educators.

Congratulations!

On June 13 our 30 graduates from 13 nations received their diploma at a very special graduation ceremony.
We have faith in you, our graduating class, that you will head out into this new world with courage, not looking back but facing forward.

Nine weeks after the school has been closed because of the covid 19 pandemic we welcome back most of our classes to preschool and school campus on May 18. Highest priority is of course the health and safety of our students and staff. We ask our students and parents to read the hygiene and physical distance agreements carefully. The health certification has to be completed daily.

In the last month, we as a school have tried to do our best to support your children through these unprecedented times. So far, the feedback from parents has been very encouraging. Indeed, the most important news agency in Germany, die Deutsche Presse Agentur (dpa), just called our school a digital showcase school (“Digitale Vorzeigeschule”).
