About this school
The German School Kuala Lumpur (Deutsche Schule Kuala Lumpur, DSKL) is a German school abroad supported by Germany's Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA) and run by the Deutsche Schulverein Malaysia. The school opened on 8 January 1979 in a private house in Petaling Jaya with three pupils in Grades 1 to 3, together with a kindergarten.
Since February 2025 DSKL has been based at the Eurocampus Kuala Lumpur in Dutamas, a campus it co-owns and shares with the Lycée Français de Kuala Lumpur. The two schools keep their own languages and curricula but share the canteen, sports facilities, specialist labs and outdoor areas.
DSKL follows German educational standards from kindergarten and primary school (Grundschule) through lower and upper secondary. At the end of Grade 10 (Grade 9 for the Hauptschule track) students take the German secondary qualifications, and the upper school leads to the German International Abitur (DIA). Children of any nationality with sufficient German may enrol, and Malaysian children need ministry approval. The school offers all-day programmes, a school bus, lunches, a library and a supervised boarding house in Petaling Jaya.
