German School, New Delhi, India

Role: teaching assistant

The German School New Delhi (DSND) was originally established in 1961 in a residential house in Delhi. The school's development from kindergarten and primary school to encompassing Abitur level today has taken 50 years. After several moves, DSND found its permanent home in 1992 in the embassy building of the former GDR, which has since been acquired by the Federal Republic of Germany, within the diplomatic area of Chanakyapuri.

The school is divided into four levels:

Kindergarten − 18 months to 3 years
Kindergarten and pre-school − 3 to 6 years
Secondary school level I − class 5 to 10
Secondary school level II − class 11 to 12

A German overseas school, DSND follows European traditions in education and ensures further education in the German secondary school system in Germany or abroad. Through its mandate to educate and instruct, it focuses on promoting students‘ talents and promoting their development into liberal-minded, responsible citizens of society in a globalised world.

DSND is one of 132 German overseas schools recognised by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder of the Federal Republic of Germany and is authorised to award German school leaving certificates. Students can take the final examinations of secondary and middle schools, as well as the German international Abitur exam.
