Education

Students from over 120 different nations, aged 16 to 19, selected exclusively on the basis of aptitude (talent, commitment, motivation), live and learn together at one of the thirteen United World Colleges for the last two school years until they graduate from high school. The colleges are located in Wales, Norway, Italy, USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, the Netherlands, Swaziland, Venezuela, Costa Rica and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Our school has been in existence since 1896, making it one of the oldest German schools abroad in the world. It is a public school supported by Germany both financially and in terms of staff, and is committed to teaching the German and Greek languages and German and Greek educational values.

The DSA is a school and meeting place for Greeks, Germans living in Athens, Austrians and Swiss, for bicultural families and for all those who have a special interest in the German language and culture.

The DSA offers its graduates access to colleges, universities and apprenticeships through recognised school-leaving qualifications.

For us, the students are the centre of attention. They can live and learn under "one roof" at the DSA from kindergarten to graduation. In doing so, it is a fundamental concern of ours to educate them to become independent personalities.

To this end, teachers from all areas (kindergarten, preschool, primary school, secondary school I - II) and all staff work together.

The north church promotes, the church overseas development service, projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In this way making a contribution to more global justice is shown. At the same time the church wants to promote a critical understanding for the global, economic, social, political and ecological influences that shape our lives. The educational offer of the church overseas development service has the aim to understand the interconnection among our own life and of people all over the world. Together with others the church wants to create a worldwide social change through the communication of abilities, settings and values. We want to connect people and promote their engagement supporting a fairer and more sustainable world. Our aid programs are available for church and non-church groups and initiatives in Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein. Every two years the north church announces the "one world price". This price honors initiatives, groups, church municipalities or individuals for their engagement. The theological bases, definitions, structures and quality criterions of the educational work are summarized in the concept for the development educational work of the north church.
