The DBSAA cafeteria is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It offers three menus daily: Ethiopian, international, and vegetarian. Primary school children can pre-order meals for two weeks. The cafeteria uses a cashless payment system based on Amole, the electronic platform of Dashen Bank.
The DBSAA is governed by a School Board (Schulvorstand) and is supported by the Deutscher Schulverein (German School Association) in Ethiopia. The Board is chaired by Shumit Chanda Wanner, and the Head of School is Robert Hasse (Schulleiter).
German Embassy School Addis Ababa (DBSAA) serves over 300 students from Kindergarten to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme on a campus within the German Embassy grounds. The school teaches the German curriculum across Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary, with English instruction to promote multilingualism.

Primary School (grades 1–4) enrolls around 105 students in small classes of about 15, delivering the German curriculum supplemented by English. Secondary School (grades 5–10) has about 100 students in classes of 12–15 and follows the German state of Thuringia's framework. The international Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is offered as a two-year pre-university option and IB accreditation was achieved in 2014. Facilities include a library, on-site health services, and a cashless cafeteria. Extracurriculars span science, arts, sports, and service, with cultural exchanges and a German School Association supporting student leadership and community engagement today.
