Vision
The overarching objective of the German School Chennai (DSC) is to impart a
joy of learning to the children who attend the school. This sense of enjoyment will bring many further benefits in its wake and will result in happy, fulfilled, high-performing children who are motivated and eager to learn.
This goal will be achieved via a range of individual stimuli to bring about the greatest possible degree of development in the abilities of the children.
We have a proven test procedure in place in order to ensure that we do full justice to the uniqueness of every single child. This process measures a broad spectrum of abilities, or specific defining characteristics. The individual personality traits revealed by the test help determining the special classes to which a child should be allocated. These courses both foster special talents and provide support for areas in which children are weaker. Curricular areas on offer include music, art, drama, mathematics and sport.
This strategic approach aimed at fostering the progress of every child encompasses both individual attention and teaching. In addition to the areas of potential stated above we also address the development of personal and social skills such as confidence, problem solving, group work and mutual respect.
Our teaching philosophy takes the necessary individual child quality standards fully into account by clearly distancing itself from the bureaucratic approach adopted in German schools.
In our capacity as a German school abroad, we base our own standard on the highest level of learning which exists in Germany, the Thuringian curriculum.
The regular teacher training we conduct lays the foundations for high-quality delivery of our curriculum in the classroom. The particular emphasis we place on training for teaching staff has its basis in the latest educational findings. The undergo training our teachers includes methodology and didactics as well as practice in dealing with children exhibiting challenging behaviour. Teaching methods are adapted on an ongoing basis to meet the potential of the children.
This type of quality assurance within the field of teacher training represents a high-quality form of teaching delivery which has been successfully deployed in adult education for many years and is now set to establish new benchmarks in the school system. This is an approach which provides your child with a unique opportunity in terms of the way in which knowledge is imparted. The needs of every child are addressed and an environment is created in which every child feels comfortable.
We are looking forward to offering both you and your child such a stimulating and sustainable school education.
