German is the language of instruction, with DaZ (Deutsch als Zweitsprache) offered from kindergarten through Abitur to support non-native speakers. English is taught as the first foreign language, starting in grade 2. Japanese is offered as a second language; native speakers may choose Japanese as an Abitur subject, while non-native learners may study it as an elective through grade 10 and, in grades 11–12, as an activity. French is offered as a second foreign language from grade 6, and Latin is available from grade 10, with the Latinum obtainable.
Schweizer Unterricht is offered for students in grades 1–12 who are interested in Swiss culture and Swiss German. The program consists of four hours per week of Swiss language instruction, delivered in four small groups with one lesson per week each. Students engage in conversations in Swiss German and explore Swiss culture through projects and activities. The program is open to all students, not only those with Swiss roots.
Deutsche Schule Tokyo Yokohama (DSTY) is a German international school in Yokohama, founded in 1904. It teaches according to German curricula and awards German qualifications up to the Deutsches Internationales Abitur (Grade 12). The language of instruction is German, and the school offers Japanese learning for both native speakers and students learning Japanese as a foreign language. English and French are also part of the programme, and students can earn the Latinum. Beyond lessons, DSTY runs a coordinated cocurricular afternoon programme (open all-day school) with care options and activities, as well as sports teams in football, volleyball and basketball. A distinctive feature is the on-campus BVB Evonik Football Academy, providing football training from kindergarten through upper school.
