About German European School Singapore

German European School Singapore (GESS) is the leading European multilingual school in Southeast Asia, offering both the internationally recognised IB Diploma Programme and the German Abitur — one of the very few schools outside Germany to offer the Abitur alongside the IB. Founded in 1971 to serve the German and broader European expat community, GESS has grown into a diverse school with students from over 60 nationalities, though it retains a distinctly European educational character.

Set on a tranquil campus in Dairy Farm, adjacent to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, GESS offers a green, spacious learning environment that stands in contrast to the more urban campuses found elsewhere in Singapore. Instruction is available in German and English streams, with French as a third language option, making the school genuinely trilingual in its operation. This linguistic richness is one of GESS's defining characteristics and a major draw for European diplomatic and corporate families.

Graduates of GESS hold qualifications recognised by universities across Europe, the UK, the US, and Australia. The Abitur in particular opens doors to German and Austrian universities at no tuition cost — a significant long-term financial consideration for families with higher education in Germany on the horizon. GESS is an excellent choice for European families who want their children to remain connected to their home-country educational traditions while benefiting from a Singapore-based international education.
