Deutsche Schule Abuja

Deutsche Schule Abuja is a German international school in Abuja, Nigeria. Its classes go from Vs to 10.[1] It is a part of the Deutsche Schulen Nigeria (DS-Nigeria or DSN) system, which included a school in Lagos, the Deutsche Schule Lagos.[2] The organisation Julius Berger Nigeria PLC operates the school.[3]

Like many German international schools, the Abuja school is smaller than other international schools in the area because it targets German citizens and native speakers of German, and it only accepts small numbers of students who do not natively speak German.[4]

"Dies liegt an der Konzeption der deutschsprachigen Schulen mit deutschem Schulziel, die sich als sogenannte Expertenschule größtenteils an deutsche Staatsangehörige und deutsche Muttersprachler wenden und nur in begrenztem Maße auch Kinder anderer Muttersprachen aufnehmen (Z.B. die deutsche Schule in Nigeria). " ("The reason for this [smaller size of German-language schools compared to bilingual schools] is the school concept of the German-language schools with German educational goals. As so-called expert schools these are mostly targeted at German nationals and native German speakers and only admit a limited amount of children who are native speakers of a different language (the German school in Nigeria is such an example).")
