Principal's Welcome

Welcome to the German European School Singapore!

GESS is home to many nationalities, and we are proud to call over 68 nations worldwide part of the GESS community. Moreover, this school is not just an educational institution but also serves as a cultural bridge, representing and imparting German culture and values in Singapore. As the principal, I am honored to lead a community dedicated to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student can thrive. I am especially proud of our language program, as we aim to provide students the opportunity to grow up with multiple languages, preparing them best for an international environment. You can choose our German curriculum leading to the Abitur or the International Baccalaureate in our European section.

At our school, we believe that education extends beyond the classroom. Our commitment to respect, diversity, and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to create a culture where every student feels valued and respected, regardless of their background or individual differences. We celebrate the unique qualities that each student brings to our community, recognizing that our diversity is our strength.

Respect is a fundamental value that guides our interactions and relationships. We encourage our students to treat one another with kindness and consideration, to listen actively, and to appreciate different perspectives. By fostering a respectful environment, we aim to build a community where everyone feels safe and supported.

Diversity is embraced and celebrated within our school. We are proud of the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and experiences that make up our student body. Through various programs and initiatives, we ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed and contribute to our vibrant community.

Inclusion is at the core of our educational philosophy. We are committed to providing equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to create inclusive learning experiences that cater to the diverse needs of our students. By promoting an inclusive mindset, we prepare our students to be compassionate, empathetic, and engaged global citizens.

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about the exciting programs and opportunities we offer. Together, we can create a positive and enriching educational journey for every student. Thank you for being a part of our school community.
