About this school
The German European School Manila (GESM) is a non-profit bilingual school founded in 1980 and part of the worldwide network of German Schools Abroad. It shares the Eurocampus in Better Living Subdivision, Parañaque with the Lycée Français de Manille; Manila's was the first Franco-German Eurocampus and later served as a model for similar campuses in Dublin, Shanghai, Taipei, Zagreb and Kuala Lumpur. The two schools share facilities and community life while keeping their own curricula.
Students from about 60 nationalities attend, from early learners through Primary (ages 6 to 10), Secondary (11 to 15) and Upper School (16 to 18). Families can choose a German, IB or Cambridge pathway, and no prior German is required on entry. German is taught at every grade level, including kindergarten, and students sit the DSD I and II German language diploma exams, which give access to German universities.
GESM is a recognised DSD school, a member of the PASCH network and a Cambridge examination centre. Life outside class includes sports, performing arts, student leadership, service learning and clubs.
