GESS (German European School Singapore, German: Deutsche Europäische Schule Singapur) is an international, multi-lingual, co-educational school in Singapore. GESS provides education to 1,800 students from more than 65 nationalities.[4]
Since its foundation in 1971, the school has evolved into one school – two system organisation. The IB Section offers all three International Baccalaureate Programmes (PYP, MYP, DP) in English.[5] As a German government accredited “Excellent German School Abroad”, the German Curriculum Section of GESS offers all German school leaving certificates.[6] The school is the largest "German school abroad" in Asia.[7] GESS focuses on European languages and culture. For Dutch and Danish students, the school offers a mother-tongue programme fully integrated in the curriculum of the European section with no additional costs.
