Deutsche Schule Erbil

Welcome

The German School Erbil was inaugurated on 16th of September 2010. In its first year of operation it offers classes in primary school year 1-5, as well as several kindergarten groups and a pre-school class. The school’s long term goal is to expand and introduce the German Abitur in the country of Iraq at the German School Erbil, Kurdistan by 2018/19.

Numerous Kurdish emigrants that live in Germany, Switzerland and Austria are now returning to their home Kurdistan to help in the development of the region. Many families share the desire that their children, who have been born and raised in a German speaking environment, do not lose the cultural and bilingual advantages that they have gained. Those that have become acquainted with and value the German culture shall have the opportunity to transfer this bond to the next generation.

We advocate and cultivate the German language, European culture and international encounters.

We support tolerant behavior, intercultural communication and social responsibility.

We seek for excellent achievements in the academics, arts and sports through the use of state of the art teaching- and learning methods.

We facilitate encounters of different cultures and advocate intercultural learning.

We create in our school an inspiring place of learning and living. Wirtschaftsplatform Irak, 13. September 2010.
