German is the language of instruction. English is taught from Year 1 onward. DaZ provides language support for non-native German speakers. The lower secondary section culminates in the Grade 10 O-Level certificate and can lead to the upper secondary level that leads to the German International Abitur (DIA). The school offers Kindergarten, Primary School (Years 1–4), lower secondary, and upper secondary leading to the DIA.
The school works bilingually and internationally. German is the language of instruction, and English is taught as part of the curriculum from Year 1.
German as a second language (DaZ) is provided in Primary School for students whose first language is not German, with DaZ lessons totaling three hours per week in small groups. Language immersion sessions occur twice a week in the afternoon. In Kindergarten, language immersion sessions promote German language development and German language is embedded in daily activities.
The German School Kuala Lumpur (DSKL) provides an education grounded in the German national curriculum, including the syllabus of the Federal State of Thuringia. Students from Kindergarten through Grade 12 can pursue recognized German qualifications like the Hauptschulabschluss, Realschulabschluss, and the German International Abitur (DIA), a university entrance qualification. The school offers a range of extracurricular activities for students from Year 3, including sports like football, badminton, and volleyball, as well as music lessons, arts and crafts (e.g., pottery), drama, and activities such as cooking and board games. A unique offering is the Guest Student Program, which provides scholarships and supervised housing for motivated students from Germany wishing to complete their Abitur or other qualifications in Kuala Lumpur. The school has recently moved into the Eurocampus KL, which they share with Lycée Français de Kuala Lumpur.
