The DBSAA is a “recognised German school abroad” in the network of German schools abroad, which is supported professionally and financially by the Central Agency for Schools Abroad . The German Embassy School Addis Ababa has set itself the goal of strengthening the German profile of the school.
Young people returning to their home country or that of their parents, young people from neighbouring European countries who have an interest in the German language and culture, and young people whose mother tongue is German can, make an important contribution to building a bridge to the local students who have chosen our school and at the same time they themselves can benefit from this cross-cultural encounter.
In our mixed-age groups, the children are open towards the new and are curious about the unknown. The partially open pedagogical concept creates a lot of fun and joy.
