The curriculum blends German standards with a Colombian diploma, with the option to pursue the German Abitur.

The school maintains a German affiliation and hosts an Office for German Affairs, reflecting its bicultural mission. Graduates leave with the Colombian diploma and, if desired, the German Abitur. The campus houses three libraries for Kindergarten, Elementary and High School, plus a Digital Classroom Program and a House of Formation for development and internships. With class sizes around 20 and facilities for sports, music and the arts, the school supports a wide range of extracurricular activities—over 60 offerings, including Model UN (DESMUN), Jugend Debattiert, theater, and exchange programs.
