Support Us

At this point we want to ask for your support. More specifically, your contribution to our fundraising projects will enable DIS to continue its dedication to the DIS Mission, and ensure the future of continuing our history of academic excellence in international education. Your gift helps to build the future of DIS.

Why is it important to support DIS?

  •  

To create more opportunities for children and youth to “learn how to learn” in a school where diversity in the classroom is a normal way of life.

  •  

To ensure that more students in our school become critical and compassionate thinkers, so that they later become informed participants in local and world affairs

  •  

High percentage of DIS families are paying no or a reduced school fee. There is no selection of students based on their parent’s income. It is always about the student’s ability and if the student fits to the programme.

  •  

To support the economic development of Saxony, with DIS serving as a key “Standortfaktor”

  •  

To support a school that goes beyond intellectual rigour, by emphasizing the ideals of international understanding and responsible citizenship

  •  

To help create an international cultural centre in Dresden, where families of all nationalities can meet.

  •  

The school maintains a balanced budget, but thus far has not been able to set aside capital assessment fees as a capital reserve. Reason: Not-for-profit organization (GmbH mit Gemeinnützigkeitsstatus)

  •  

To meet the requirements for DIS as an International Baccalaureate World School, to be on the cutting edge of international education and to achieve accreditation status from CIS / NEASC, it is important to contribute to different school projects so that the school can ensure their quality.

Campus Greening Project

We are raising funds for our Campus Greening Project, The concept was developed collaboratively between DIS students, who provided ideas for improvement of the schoolyard, and a student at the Technical University Dresden.

The project aims to:

  • reduce campus heat retention as a climate mitigation strategy
  • provide opportunities for sustainability education and active learning
  • increase campus biodiversity
  • increase access to green spaces and areas for relaxation.

The project will include removing areas of asphalt to plant directly in our schoolyard, facade greening, and raised planters for student participation and service learning. This will be done in phases. We are hoping to start the first phase of the project end of September / early October. 

The various sub-projects cost between 40,000 and 150,000 Euros, some of which can be subsidized by the SAB (Sächsische Aufbaubank). So far we have a pledged amount of 85,000 EUR from our community. We want to say a big THANK YOU to those who have already pledged to contribute to this project. 

Support us! Let's bring this project to life!
