Foundation of Excellence
Physical activity isn't just a choice, it's an essential aspect of our educational philosophy at the German School Jakarta. As screens dominate children's lives, we prioritize healthy movement, realizing its
impact on current well-being and future success. Beyond fitness, sport instills discipline, fairness, resilience, ambition, concentration, and teamwork — qualities vital for personal growth.
Healthy Movement
In the digital era, physical activity has taken a back seat. Children should accumulate at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day to achieve optimal health. And the benefits don’t stop there. Students who move more think better. Increased physical activity also promotes brain development, memory, and cognition. Learn more in our detailed article about
healthy movement.
Playful Beginnings
We inspire a love for movement from young age. Through play, our children discover a passion for sports and develop physical literacy that extends throughout life. Hence, kids increase their bone density, improve their sleep, increase their cardiovascular fitness, and
improve their coordination and balance. Moreover, our preschool pool sets the stage for aquatic confidence.
Dream Facilities

cutting-edge sports facilities, designed to inspire greatness. From our swimming pools and multi-sport hall to football fields and climbing walls, we provide the canvas for students to paint their athletic dreams.

SOAS Games (Süd-Ost Asien Spiele) between German schools in Southeast Asia. Through these contests, we nurture character, camaraderie, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Activities Beyond Class
Our after-school programs cater to diverse interests, providing an extensive range of extracurricular sports (called "AG" in German) in the afternoons, including football, chess, badminton, inline skating, martial arts, and more. Whether your child is aiming for mastery or simply enjoying the thrill of their favorite sport, our school provides a platform for exploration,
building friendships, and spending quality time together.
