Discover the Benefits of a German-Style Education at DSD.

Established in 1971, Deutsche Schule Durban is a German-medium primary school that welcomes all-comers. We offer small classes for individualised attention, outstanding teachers with consistently good results, and a safe environment in a great area. We are inclusive, flexible, and well-rounded, and we provide good value for money. Our German-style education will give your child a solid foundation for high school and beyond.

Multiculturalism.

The Deutsche Schule Durban is a small, independent school that offers a holistic education for children from 18 months to Grade 7. Established in 1971, the DSD is affiliated to the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA). Pupils do not need to be able to speak German as long as they join in Kindergarten, latest by the time they are 4 years old. At present there are approximately 150 learners in our school, hailing from diverse cultural backgrounds. We host a variety of events inspired by the German culture, such as Einschulungsfeier, Weihnachtsmarkt and Laternenfest.
