About this school
German European School Singapore (GESS) is a not-for-profit international school that has served families in Singapore since 1971. It is run by the GESS Association, a registered charity overseen by a volunteer Board of Governors.
The school educates around 1,700 students from more than 70 nationalities, from preschool at 18 months through to age 18. Two pathways run side by side:
- International section taught in English through the IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes
- German section following the German curriculum through to the German school-leaving qualifications
GESS holds both CIS and IB accreditation. In 2022 it became the only school outside Germany to receive the German School Award (Deutscher Schulpreis), and its preschool was named Singapore Preschool of the Year in 2024.
The purpose-built campus on Dairy Farm Lane borders the Dairy Farm Nature Reserve and includes forest learning areas, sports facilities and specialist labs. GESS is registered as a Private Education Institution with SkillsFuture Singapore.
