The German language is a fundamental pillar of our Educational Project that opens doors. The school offers German language certification through the Deutsches Sprachdiplom at levels I and II (B1 and B2/C1), and has been authorized as an examination center since 2011 for B1 and since 2014 for B2/C1. All students have the opportunity to take these exams if they meet the required levels. This certification opens doors for our graduates to study at certain Chilean institutions and German higher education institutions at undergraduate and graduate levels. The Colegio Alemán de Puerto Varas is authorized to deliver the Primary Years Programme (PYP) since July 2019 and the Middle Years Programme (MYP); it has acquired applicant status for the Diploma Programme (DP) and is working to obtain authorization to become an IB World School.
Colegio Alemán de Puerto Varas is a German international school in Chile offering an IB continuum as part of the Schulen Partner der Zukunft network. The campus serves students from early childhood through secondary and holds authorization for the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP); a Diploma Programme (DP) candidacy is under way. The curriculum combines IB frameworks with local guidelines, organized around transdisciplinary themes that promote inquiry, personal development, and global awareness. German language instruction starts in Spielgruppe (age three) and continues through IV Medio, while English begins in Grade 5; Spanish remains the language of instruction. The school blends constructivist pedagogy, social-emotional development, and the Faustlos program for peaceful conflict resolution in the early years. Facilities include a Biblioteca, Umweltherzen environmental space, and mobile technology labs; digital learning is supported by Moodle and Alexia. On campus, students engage in sport, science fairs, cultural activities, language exchanges, and community service.
