About this school
Deutsche Schule Tokyo Yokohama (DSTY) is the oldest German school abroad still operating in East Asia. It opened in Yokohama in September 1904 with nine pupils and survived fires, the 1923 earthquake and two world wars. Re-founded in 1953, it moved to a new building in Omori in 1967 and, as enrolment grew, to its current campus in Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama, in 1991. Enrolment has since passed 500.
DSTY is a recognised German school abroad with the "Excellent German School Abroad" quality seal. It has a kindergarten, primary school, lower secondary and upper secondary under one roof, teaching German curricula and awarding German qualifications up to the German International Abitur, which it says no other school in Japan offers. The language of instruction is German; English, French and Japanese are also taught. Swiss culture and Swiss German lessons are available for Grades 1–12.
Students come from almost 20 countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Japan. It is an all-day school with clubs, a sports hall, an indoor swimming pool, an auditorium, a cafeteria and a library, and its own school buses serve Tokyo and Yokohama.
