German International School Sydney
German International School Sydney is a German international school in Terrey Hills, Sydney, New South Wales.[1]
It serves from Preschool until IBDP Senior Secondary (Sekundarstufe II).
Curriculum
The primary school, years 1-6, uses a German immersion programme. The secondary school has two divisions: a German stream and an English stream; 85% of the secondary students are in the German stream. Students in the English stream, making up the remainder of the students, take German classes.[2]
Certain subjects are taught to all students in German, such as Year 8 Biology, while others are taught to all students in English, such as Year 8 Chemistry and Geography. Students from both streams take the same art and music classes.[2]

The school does not require its students to wear school uniforms. The tuition for the youngest students, as of 2014, is $10,000 Australian dollars. The tuition for students years 11 and 12, as of the same year, varies depending on the subjects chosen for the International Baccalaureate program. The highest possible annual tuition for a year 11 or 12 student is $20,000.[2]
Student body
As of 2014 the school has 230 students, with half of them being of a German background.[2]

The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) classifies the Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney Japanese schools as nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international schools) as they are operated by Japanese associations. The former South Queensland Academy was classified as a shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (overseas branches of Japanese private schools) and was the only Japanese school in Australia to offer senior high school-level education. The Russian Embassy School only serves primary school. | |
