Our international environment with students from over 20 nations creates a unique atmosphere where individual strengths are nurtured and language skills are strengthened. Small class sizes ensure personalized support, while our highly qualified teaching staff — including seconded teachers from Germany — maintain a close connection to the German education system.

Living Diversity

As a school of encounter, cultural exchange at DSJ is not just a concept — it’s a lived experience. Celebrating both traditional and international festivals like Carnival, Chinese New Year, and Indonesia’s Heroes’ Day allows our students to experience diversity first-hand. This openness and the daily interaction of different cultures foster tolerance, social skills, and prepare our students for a connected, global future.

Extracurricular Activities

A wide range of sports, music, arts, and clubs gives our students space to grow personally and discover new passions. Whether in the school orchestra, our successful swimming and football teams, in sports academies, or in cultural and social projects — they go beyond their limits and develop valuable skills for the future.

Living Responsibility & Shaping the Future

At DSJ, young people grow into responsible individuals. They learn to make informed decisions, value diversity, and stand up for a just and sustainable future. Empathy, solidarity, and environmental awareness not only support their personal success but also strengthen global cooperation. Through active participation, they take responsibility for democracy, society, and the environment.
