World citizens made in Dresden

In our Preschool, our students learn about holidays from around the world. By making Easter baskets, our preschoolers used seasonal crafts for developing fine motor skills and for working with different materials. 

Members of the DIS Student Council Leadership Team had an amazing opportunity to join the newly organized annual GISSC conference (German International School Student Council). The annual event was created with the intent to promote communication, share ideas, establish goals, and even develop plans for future projects. 

As an IB World School, we value the linguistic and cultural diversity of our community. We foster and support all of our students’ languages. Before Easter Break we celebrated the languages we speak at our DIS Primary School through a variety of activities and engagements.

We were recognized as Eco-School which is committed to sustainable development. This important certification offers DIS the guidance needed in its journey towards providing a valuable Education for Sustainable Development of our students. 

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.

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”).
