German International School Sydney is a German international school in Terrey Hills, Sydney, New South Wales.^[1]

Curriculum

The primary school, years 1-6, uses a German immersion programme. The secondary school has two divisions: a German stream and an English stream; 85% of the secondary students are in the German stream. Students in the English stream, making up the remainder of the students, take German classes.^[2]

Certain subjects are taught to all students in German, such as Year 8 Biology, while others are taught to all students in English, such as Year 8 Chemistry and Geography. Students from both streams take the same art and music classes.^[2]

The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) classifies the Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney Japanese schools as nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international schools) as they are operated by Japanese associations. The former South Queensland Academy was classified as a shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (overseas branches of Japanese private schools) and was the only Japanese school in Australia to offer senior high school-level education. The Russian Embassy School only serves primary school.
