German is the language of instruction at DSB Cairo from kindergarten through Gymnasium. In the kindergarten, students learn German to follow the German-language instruction. In primary school, the German teacher is the homeroom teacher and teaches at least 20 hours per week, ensuring language learning is integrated across subjects. English begins in Grade 4 as the first foreign language after German and Arabic, with four hours of instruction per week, while Arabic is also taught as part of the language program.
