The German European School Singapore (GESS) was founded in 1971 by parents who wanted something better for their children. Over 5 decades later, that same spirit still runs through everything we do. We're a not-for-profit school, led by our community, driven by purpose, and powered by people who genuinely believe education can change a child's life.
Every role at GESS, whether you're in the classroom or behind the scenes, plays a part in empowering our students to discover who they are and where they're headed. You won't just be doing a job here. You'll take real ownership of the outcomes you help create, and see the difference it makes.
With over 1650 students and 400+ colleagues from across the globe, GESS is a place where every background is welcomed and every perspective adds something valuable. We collaborate with intention here, seeking out what unites us while genuinely valuing what makes us different.
We treat each other with care, honesty, and integrity, even in the busy, challenging moments. It's a simple thing that makes a big difference to how it feels to come to work every day.
We invest seriously in your development, because we know that great teachers and great professionals never stop learning. We encourage curiosity, welcome feedback, and celebrate growth, in our students and in our people.
We understand that being part of an international community means juggling a lot. That's why we support genuine work-life integration, so you can do your best work without losing yourself in it.
Your health and your family's wellbeing matter to us, and our benefits reflect that.
Set beside a protected nature reserve in the west of Singapore, our purpose-built campus is a beautiful place to work.
GESS participated in the Great Place To Work® Trust Index© Employee survey and was successfully certified as a Great Place To Work®.

If you're looking for a place where your work matters, where your voice is heard, and where colleagues from over 30 countries become genuine friends, we'd love to meet you.
