The curriculum is based on the Baden-Württemberg state curriculum; the timetable, content, and materials follow Baden-Württemberg regulations. In addition, 2 hours of Romanian language are taught as a foreign language and 4 hours of Romanian language are taught for native Romanian speakers, in accordance with Romanian Ministry of Education requirements. At the end of schooling, graduates take the Deutsches Internationales Abitur (DIA) – the German state diploma. DSBU is officially recognized as a German School Abroad by the German Foreign Office (ZfA) and is a member of the World Federation of German Schools Abroad (WDA); it is the only school in Romania that follows entirely the German curriculum and holds these accreditations.
German is the language of instruction. English is taught as a core subject and plays a central role in the curriculum. French is taught as a subject in Gymnaziu (lower secondary). Romanian is taught as both a foreign language and a mother tongue, depending on the student's background.
Deutsche Schule Bukarest is a German Auslandsschule delivering the German curriculum for students aged 1 to 18. The campus combines modern facilities with a strong language focus, and instruction is primarily in German, complemented by Romanian, French and English language programs. The school offers a continuous path from primary through the Deutsches Internationales Abitur (DIA) pathway in the upper levels, with a bridging Grade 10 and the option to complete the Realschulabschluss (MSA) along the way. Facilities include laboratories for science teaching, a dedicated library of over 2,500 titles, and a sports hall that supports physical education and activities.
