The German European School Manila (GESM) was founded in 1980 and serves as a unique cultural hub in Metro Manila. It is part of the 'Eurocampus,' shared with the Lycée Français de Manille, fostering a vibrant multicultural atmosphere where European values and international outlooks merge. The school is recognized by the German government as an 'Excellent German School Abroad' (Exzellente Deutsche Auslandsschule) and is a prominent choice for expatriate and local families seeking a European-style education.
GESM offers two distinct academic tracks: the German Section, which follows the curriculum of the State of Thuringia leading to German qualifications (Abitur), and the International Section, which is an IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and the Diploma Programme (DP) taught in English. This dual-track system allows for significant cross-cultural interaction and language acquisition in English, German, and French.
Notable for its strong community spirit and high academic standards, the school provides a holistic education that emphasizes science, the arts, and physical education. The Eurocampus setting offers shared facilities including a swimming pool and sports fields, encouraging students to engage in a wide variety of extracurricular activities in a safe, green environment within the city.
