Preschool (18 months-5 years)
Learn in English or German
At German European School Singapore (GESS), we believe every child deserves to feel confident, understood and ready to shine, in any language they call home. With over 70 nationalities on our campus, supporting children as they grow into English is simply part of who we are.
In our Preschool, younger learners are gently immersed in English through play, daily routines and warm, responsive relationships with their teachers, building natural confidence and curiosity long before formal learning begins.
From Grade 1 through Grade 8, this journey continues through our dedicated EAL programme, led by expert teachers who get to know each child individually, using thoughtful assessments and close collaboration with homeroom teachers to build a learning path that's just right for them. Whether through small group sessions, in-class support, or focused academic language coaching, our goal is always the same: to help your child feel capable, included and excited to learn, not just to "get by," but to truly thrive across every subject.

We take a research-informed approach, nurturing strong English foundations first so that children can later flourish as confident multilingual learners too. Progress is celebrated every step of the way, with regular updates so you're always part of the journey, and a joyful moment when your child is ready to graduate from the programme altogether.
