Hort – comprehensive after-school care from 08:00 to 17:30. After lunch, Hort staff supervise the children as they complete their homework in their class groups. In the afternoon, children may participate in activities or clubs offered by the Hort; spaces are provided for various activities. The program aims to create a living and learning space where children feel comfortable, can play, rest, and form social contacts while fulfilling their duties.
Lunch is ordered via EduPage. Classes 1–12 have three daily meal options; parents in classes 1–2 place the orders for their children, while students from class 3 can order themselves. Orders for the following week can be placed Wednesday 12:00 to Friday 12:00; field trips may require lunch packages (LPR = schnitzel, LPS = cheese). A chip card confirms selections; if forgotten, a printed order is available at the reception, and kitchen staff can assist with any problems.

The board, consisting of 5–7 members, meets at least once a year to approve the budget and implement the resolutions; all board decisions are made in consultation with the school leadership.

Deutsche Schule Bratislava is a German international school in Bratislava serving children from age 3 to 18 on a single campus. The eight‑year gymnasium follows the Baden‑Württemberg curriculum and leads to a dual qualification: Slovak Matura (in language and literature) and the German International Abitur (DIA). The school places multilingualism at its core, with German and Slovak language and literature taught alongside English and other languages, and it offers spaces for language certificates and clubs.

The campus features a modern digital learning environment with a 1:1 device program and smartboards in every classroom, plus dedicated spaces for open learning and project work. Since 2021, EIVA enables asynchronous learning on Tuesdays for grades 8–12, plus weekly independent learning and cross‑classroom projects. The school opened its new campus in 2022/2023 and holds the Exzellente Deutsche Auslandsschule seal (2023).
