Deutsche Internationale Schule Kapstadt - DSK

Deutsche Internationale Schule Kapstadt - DSK Official page of the German International School Cape Town. A bilingual school with South African and European university entrance qualification.

As a bilingual German school abroad we follow the German and South African (IEB) curriculum. Graduating with a South African and European university entrance qualification gives our learners a broader choice for their tertiary education in South Africa, Germany or in other countries, opening doors to an international career. We teach German mother-tongue learners from Grades 1 - 12 and English-speaking learners from Grades 5 - 12, respectively. The German International School Cape Town is not just a place for academic, sporting and artistic achievements. It is a community, where we welcome learners and families from more than 40 nationalities of different social and cultural backgrounds. Intercultural learning is an important aspect of our learners’ holistic development. The act of building bridges between societies and cultures fosters understanding, mutual respect and open-mindedness. We empower our learners to think critically, outside the box and to voice their own opinion. Problem-solving and autonomous learning is part of becoming independent and confident young adults. We focus on the individual learner by supporting each child to strive for their best while nurturing and growing their talents and passion. In regular self-assessments, the learners learn from an early age to set their own goals and to assess their personal progress supported by the teacher and their parents. Situated at the foot of Table Mountain, we overlook one of the most beautiful cities in the world – Cape Town! For more information, please contact [email protected] /021 480 3830

2026 NAB Talentshow - eine Bühne für unsere kleinen und großen DSK Talente!🎭🎼⚽🎨💃
Am Dienstag, den 22. September 2026, wurde es im KTS und im NAB-Raum sehr bunt, kreativ und vor allem eines: talentiert!
Bei unserer NAB Talentshow präsentierten die Kinder ihre ganz persönlichen Talente und zeigten, was in ihnen steckt. Mit dabei waren Beiträge aus verschiedenen AGs - darunter Dance Madness, Drama, Fußball, African Instruments, Karate und Experi-Buddies - sowie beeindruckende Darbietungen einzelner NAB-Kinder: von Instrumental- und Tanzvorführungen über Zauberwürfel-Künste bis hin zu einer kleinen Kunstausstellung.

Die Idee für die Talentshow entstand während der Freispielzeit. Dabei wurde deutlich, wie wunderbar sich unsere Kinder seit Beginn des Schuljahres entwickelt haben - nicht nur akademisch, sprachlich und im sozio-emotionalen Bereich, sondern auch musisch, sportlich und künstlerisch.

Einen wichtigen Beitrag dazu leistet das vielfältige außercurriculare Angebot der DSK. AGs wie Beatclub, Drama, Fußball, Dance Madness, Karate und Experi-Buddies - um nur einige zu nennen - geben den Kindern die Möglichkeit, ihre Interessen und individuellen Talente zu entdecken, auszuprobieren und weiterzuentwickeln.

Mit der Talentshow bekamen die Kinder und AG-Anbieter*innen eine Bühne für ihre Talente - und die Eltern einen wunderbaren Einblick in alles das, was unsere Kinder außerhalb des Unterrichts erleben und leisten.

Ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön an Sabine Weihe, NAB Leitung, Lisa Pfeffer, stellvertretende NAB Leitung, und das gesamte Team für einen tollen Nachmittag voller Talente, Kreativität, Spaß und leckerer Waffeln!❤️🤩
