Greetings to all DIS Alumni!

Thank you for checking in with your alma mater on our website. Whether it has only been a few months since you were a student, or if years have passed since you walked our halls, we warmly welcome you as a life-long member of the DIS community.

It is our sincere hope that each of those who were once a part of our community and spent a part of their lives here within these halls return to visit the campus and renew your ties to the school. Aside from meeting up with some familiar faces and getting reacquainted with the old city of Dresden, we love to hear what you have been up to and how your lives beyond the school have developed and unfolded: Each of you represents and exciting chapter in an ever-growing history of the school community.

It is also of great interest to have you meet with our present students and speak with them about your experiences, hopes, dreams, discoveries, and memories. Although we may be scattered around the globe, we hope that you all know that there is always a place where you will feel welcomed at the school or preschool campus.

Please look ahead in your calendar and see if there is not a time and good excuse to come back to Dresden for a visit.

Alumni Career Project

Christian Pilling (Class of 2019) and some of his former classmates developed a support program called ConnectDIS. It is a special career and university counselling iniative for our DP students run by our alumni. ConnectDIS provides advice in the form of articles, sample personal statements, guidance on applications in different countries, and tutoring. Most importantly, ConnectDIS gives our DP students access to DIS graduates. They have volunteered to respond to any questions you might have for the job they are working at, the university they are studying at, the degree they are studying, the country they are choosing to live in etc. If you want to get to know more about the initiative, please contact Christian directly.

Alumni Reunion

21 December 2026

Every year the DIS Fundraising Association warmly welcomes back all former graduates for an informal December alumni get-together.

It is a great opportunity to meet with friends from the past, share some great memories of Dresden and DIS and get caught up with what's going on at school.

Whether you are returning to Dresden for the holidays, already live here, or simply love any excuse to visit — we warmly invite you to our annual Alumni Christmas Get-Together!

Date: Monday, 21 December 2026
Time: 18:00 - 22:00
Location: Enotria da Miri (Kleine Brüdergasse 1), near the Kempinski Hotel

Join us for Italian food, and plenty of festive conversation. Before the gathering, alumni are also invited to visit the DIS campus at 16:30 for a nostalgic walk down memory lane.

All former students, alumni, and teachers are welcome — please spread the word!

Registration starts soon.

We look forward to reconnecting and celebrating with you!
