Primary

Welcome to the Primary School of the German International School Jeddah!

In September, our new first graders began their school journey with us. For over 50 years, children from various cultural backgrounds have been learning with and from one another at our school. Every voice is heard – that’s important to us. In our vibrant school community, students experience German culture and celebrate traditional German festivals together.

Our primary school is part of the German International School Jeddah. The language of instruction is German. Students who are not yet fluent in German receive support through German as a Foreign Language (DaF) classes.

As with all German schools abroad, we follow the curriculum of the federal state of Thuringia.

Our subjects include:

German

Mathematics

Science & Social Studies

Arabic (as a mother tongue or foreign language)

Art

Music

Physical Education

In addition, students can choose from a variety of elective courses based on their interests.

In the afternoons, students can take part in a wide range of clubs (AGs) or join our supervised homework sessions. During the holidays, we offer language and culture camps in Germany.

For us, learning is more than acquiring facts. We encourage our students to think independently, ask questions, and develop their own ideas. Every child is supported and challenged according to their individual strengths, talents, and interests.

From the very beginning, our students learn to take responsibility for peaceful and respectful interactions within the school community. Honesty, friendship, and kindness are values we actively promote.

The primary school years are a special and formative time for the whole family. We are happy to be your partners on this exciting journey of your child’s development!
