Curriculum

The DSBA Alexandria offers a continuous education path from Kindergarten through secondary school, anchored in a German-language curriculum with language programs. In kindergarten, all communication is in German, with weekly Arabic language sessions to support language learning. The Grundschule has around 240 students taught by 24 teachers and provides a broad co-curricular program (homework supervision, reading support, subject guidance and clubs) within a Bildungshaus that supports transitions and aims to nurture talents. In the Gymnasiale Oberstufe, students can complete the Deutsches Internationales Abitur (DIA), introduced in 2018/19, granting a bilingual German-English Abitur and the Allgemeine Hochschulreife. A French DELF program is offered as an optional language diploma, with levels A1 to B2, conducted through the Institut Français in Alexandria. German remains the core language of instruction, with English as a major foreign language and opportunities for bilingual study at the Abitur level.

Student Teacher Ratio

The Grundschule has about 240 students taught by 24 teachers, giving a student-teacher ratio of about 10:1.

Higher Education Progression

Graduates pursue higher education in Germany; many alumni hold positions in international companies or government; the Abitur is bilingual (German/English) and confers Allgemeine Hochschulreife.

Gifted and Talented

We identify and nurture talents.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school supports social-emotional development through inclusive practices and structured student support. Each class has two weekly hours for reading and language support. Selected students participate in online language tutoring with German university students for about nine months. Some students receive accommodations such as enlarged print and seating arrangements to reduce distractions. School psychologists provide support, and team trainings are conducted to improve classroom climate and personal development; theatre and festivals strengthen individuals and the class. Parents are involved through regular conversations, parent-teacher days, and individual appointments, and may be guided to external support services as needed.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school provides inclusive support for learners with difficulties through differentiated instruction and targeted interventions. Each class has two weekly hours of reading support and two weekly hours of language support. Selected students with weaker language skills in the 4th and 5th grades participated online in one-hour language-enhancement sessions with a German university student teacher for about nine months, in two groups of five. Some students receive enlarged print or clearly laid-out templates due to visual impairments, and seating arrangements are adjusted to reduce distractions for concentration issues. For students with concentration difficulties and psychological issues, seating adjustments and access to the school psychologist were arranged, and there were team trainings to improve classroom climate. Parents are extensively advised and supported through conversations and parent meetings, and are sometimes directed to external services such as speech therapy when appropriate.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The German language program uses German as the language of instruction for the DSBA. Mastery of German is considered essential for success in the school's program. DaF (German as a Foreign Language) and DaM (German as a Mother Tongue) are part of the language concept. Deutschsprachiger Fachunterricht (DFU) means about four-fifths of German instruction occurs in German-language teaching within subjects. The content and language requirements are addressed through language-sensitive teaching across subjects, integrating language support into the curriculum. The Deutsch-Konzept is designed to guide the language program from DaF orientation in kindergarten and primary to DaM in higher levels.

Mental Wellbeing

The school provides mental wellbeing support through a school psychologist. The on-site school psychologist is Dr. Nermeen Ahmed Naguib Abdallah Khalil and is available Monday to Wednesday from 8:00 to 13:00. Students with psychological concerns are counseled, with parental involvement and coordination with the psychologist. The inclusion program strengthens wellbeing through team trainings to improve classroom climate and promote positive behavior. The school organizes activities, projects, class councils, theatre performances, and festivals to support personal development and wellbeing. Parents are advised and supported through conversations, parent-teacher days, and individual appointments.

Safeguarding

The school provides safeguarding through access to an on-site school psychologist. The school psychologist is available Monday to Wednesday from 8:00 to 13:00. Students with safeguarding-related concerns may receive counseling and appropriate interventions coordinated with parents. The inclusion program strengthens safeguarding by improving classroom climate and providing targeted support.

Admissions

1. The admission process begins a year in advance of the September admission. Families should plan ahead for the September start, following the stated timeline. MOE regulations apply to admissions and will be observed throughout the process.

2. The purpose is to ensure admissions are fair, open and consistent, reflect the school's vision and values, and support the English National Curriculum. The procedures are designed to ensure that admitted students receive a quality education that meets their needs. The MOE regulations govern age requirements and other stipulations for admission. The procedures are communicated clearly to prospective families.

3. Responsibilities: The school will ensure that all enrolment information is clearly communicated and MOE regulations are followed, determine enrolment numbers per grade, and oversee the communications with parents regarding acceptance and the offer of a place. Parents will enrol their age-appropriate child and provide all required documentation, and pay the stipulated fees within the applicable due dates. Parents will ensure that their child is present for baseline testing and any interviews at the scheduled time. They will provide pertinent information so the school can ensure their child is understood, well cared for, and can make progress.

4. Procedures: Criteria for Admission require sufficient space for the student to be enrolled in the appropriate year level. All required documentation must be received, including an ISE family questionnaire, medical records, and previous school records (including report cards for the previous three years, if applicable), plus any transfer certificate or other relevant documentation. If prior records are deemed authentic, the final stage includes an entrance assessment appropriate to the child's age and a face-to-face interview with the Head of School attended by both parents. A prospective student will be given priority for an available place if the child is the offspring of a school educator or if a sibling is already accepted and attending. The offer of a place is first-come, first-served for available places, and acceptance of the placement must be provided in writing within a given deadline.

5. Orientation: At least one orientation and information day will be provided for prospective parents and students in late May or June, and one for admitted students and parents in late August at the start of the school year. The Admissions Officer welcomes all enrolling families during orientation.

6. Enrolment Register: An application form must be completed and submitted for each student. The form collects details such as the child's name, date of birth, father's name, mother's name, phone number, email address, year group, district, and country as applicable. The information is used to process enrolment and to arrange testing and interviews as needed.

Tuition fees by year group (annual amounts)
- No current 2026/27 or 2025/26 tuition schedule is publicly available. The only distributed fee table located is from an earlier listing for the academic year 2016/2017, showing annual tuition as follows:
- KG1: EGP 23,000.
- KG2: EGP 23,000.
- Primary 1: EGP 25,000.
- Primary 2: EGP 25,000.
- Primary 3: EGP 25,000.
- Primary 4: EGP 25,000.
- Secondary 1 (Prep year): EGP 30,000.
- Secondary 2: EGP 30,000.
- Secondary 3: EGP 30,000.
- A historical note on that listing indicates expense ranges between EGP 25,000 and EGP 30,000 for Primary 5 to Preparatory 3 in that year.

Per-term breakdown
- No per-term or installment breakdown for tuition (per term or per semester amounts) for 2026/27 or 2025/26 was published. The historical figures above were presented as annual amounts in the available listing.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No public, current billing schedule (for example: number of instalments, due dates, penalties, or early-payment discounts) for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years was found. The school's public admissions material states that refunds and collections follow Ministry of Education collection/refund policies.

Boarding fees
- The school's publicly listed facilities describe day-school facilities (cafeteria, bus service, pools, labs) and include a bus service but make no mention of on-site boarding or boarding fees. There is no published boarding fee schedule. This indicates the school operates as a day school with transportation options rather than a boarding provision.

Other costs and typical one-off fees
- Historical (2016/2017) items shown in the available listing include:
- Book fees: EGP 2,000 (2016/2017 listing).
- Uniform fees: EGP 2,000 (2016/2017 listing).
- Registration/entrance fees: EGP 2,000 (2016/2017 listing).
- Transportation: EGP 3,000 (2016/2017 listing).
- The historical listing also referenced an example figure of EGP 12,900 for an item labelled "first batch" (2016/2017).
- No current published schedule for book packs, exam fees, technology levies, activity fees, or capital levies for 2026/27 or 2025/26 was found.

Refund information
- Refunds are governed by the Ministry of Education's collection and refund policies; the school's admissions information states that refunds follow those Ministry rules. No further school-specific refund table, deadlines, or percentages was publicly published.

Fee payment options
- No public, current specification of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, cash, cheques, or online payment gateway) for 2026/27 or 2025/26 was published.

Summary of data availability and currency
- There is no publicly posted, up-to-date fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year, nor a clearly dated 2025/26 schedule, on the school's public pages. The only accessible fee figures located are from an earlier third-party listing referencing the academic year 2016/2017; those historical figures are presented above and are clearly dated in that listing. Key official statements that are publicly available concern facilities (including bus service) and the school's statement that refunds follow Ministry of Education policies.

If you require these figures to be shown as current 2025/26 or 2026/27 fee schedules, a current official fee schedule issued by the school for those academic years would be required to provide precise per-term and per-year figures, billing dates, and payment-method details.
