The German curriculum sets out a structured progression from the early years through to the upper stages, each phase building deliberately on the one before. It carries its own philosophy of teaching, its own style of assessment and its own leaving qualifications, which together define what is studied at each point and how learning is examined. Understanding this structure is the first step in judging whether it suits your child's learning style and long-term goals.
The German curriculum tends to suit families who value its particular balance of breadth and specialisation and who have some sense of where their child may study next. It is worth weighing how its assessment style fits your child's strengths, and how easily they could transfer in or out should your plans change. Comparing it honestly against the other curricula on your shortlist is the surest way to confirm it is the right pathway.
Schools offering the German curriculum can be found across several cities and neighbourhoods. Filtering by location and stage narrows the list to the schools that are genuinely practical for your family, so you spend your time comparing options you could realistically reach each day rather than ones that are out of range.
