Deutsche Schule Bilbao is a German school serving ages 1 to 18 with a bespoke curriculum from Krippe to Oberstufe. The Abitur is awarded here, and there is an Abitur-to-Spanish-equivalency table to facilitate Spanish university access. The school follows a continuous language concept across five languages—German (C2), English (C1), Basque (B2), French (B1) and Spanish—supported by a holistic pedagogy that develops study habits, personality and teamwork. The campus spans 33,000 square metres of surroundings near Basílica de Begoña and is connected by Line 3 of the metro. Language courses, MINT initiatives and a Sprachkonzept anchor the academic framework, with enrollment year-round. Founded in 1917, the school celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017 and was awarded Exzellente Deutsche Auslandsschule in 2022. A modern building with a rooftop terrace opened in 2022, and a Sportcampus opened in 2025. European exchange is central to life here, reinforced by a student government and extracurriculars.
