World citizens made in Dresden

Dresden International School is the premier IB World School in Saxony offering a full-day programme for students from age one to Grade 12. Our school is a diverse community of learners that practice the highest standards of rigour in learning and teaching. We prepare students as successful international citizens, through a rounded education taught in English. Students become successful and independent learners and compassionate citizens, who are prepared for high academic achievement in school and in universities throughout Germany and worldwide.

Pathways to Learning

This portal is DIS' central hub for students and parents during a period of distance learning. Most of the resources and information that you need can be found here.

We think of the learning as ‘continuous’ rather than simply online. The device is a tool to deliver instructions and content. It is the way in which teachers, students, and families can communicate. Working online should not always be the main mode of learning engagement, and teachers also think about structuring activities that allow for active movement and other modes of learning. For us it is important to provide quality over quantity and continue to modify our good practices.
