The school operates a cafeteria. Meals are served in portions that minimize waste, and non-disposable dishes and glasses are used in the cafeteria to reduce environmental impact.
The school is governed by the Corporación Colegio Alemán (Deutscher Schulverein). The school receives support from the Government of Germany through the Central Office for German Schools Abroad (ZfA) and the Association of German Schools Abroad (WDA); it also cooperates with the German Embassy in Colombia and the German Consulate in Medellín, and with other German schools in Colombia.
Deutsche Schule Medellín is a nonprofit German international school in Medellín, sponsored by the German government and part of the German Schools Abroad network (ZfA). It is an IB World School serving ages 1 to 18 (Prekinder to Klasse 12) in a multilingual German-Spanish-English environment. The upper levels offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in a multilingual format (GIB), with TOK, CAS and the Extended Essay; some subjects are taught in German. German language learning runs throughout, with the Deutsches Sprachdiplom II (DSD II) at level B2/C1. In Klasse 6 there is a three-week trip to Germany, and in Klasse 10 a longer immersion. Graduates have access to German universities and various other international pathways, with university fairs and campus visits; leadership opportunities include MUN and related projects. The campus emphasizes nature, arts and sports, and maintains a lasting commitment to German culture, track and field, swimming, volleyball and activities.
