Deutsche Schule London is a German Auslandsschule in London, recognised by German Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen. The school provides continuous education from Kindergarten through Abitur or International Baccalaureate, for pupils aged 3 to 18. German curriculum has been expanded to include IB and elements from English system, enabling pupils to graduate with German International Abitur (DIA) and, from 2023/24, Fachhochschulreife (FHS). In upper secondary (11–12) students may pursue a dual qualification with DIA and IB or complete the DIA with IB as a course, under KMK guidelines. Languages taught include English, French and Spanish, with bilingual subjects to support multilingualism. The school sits on a green site between Richmond Park and the Thames, with Sudbrook Kinderhaus and main campus, libraries and study facilities, a modern sports hall and a new Multi Games Arena (MUGA) opened in 2024. After-school activities, music and arts programs, and community events complete the offering.
