The German International School Accra (DISA) was founded in 1966 and is the only recognized German school abroad in West Africa. It offers all-day care for children from the age of one through to secondary school. The educational work is based on the Thuringian education plan and the standards of the British Cambridge curriculum are also taken into account. Over 100 children from more than 20 nations are cared for and taught by qualified teachers. DISA offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, early childcare and a hot lunch. During the vacations, so-called “camps” are organized to look after the children. The school plans to offer the first intermediate school-leaving certificates in cooperation with the DBSAA by 2028 at the latest. In the future, the school is also aiming to offer an upper secondary school with the International Baccalaureate (IB). The campus has modern facilities and specialist rooms for art, music, science and more. The school pursues the vision of “building bridges” between Ghana, Germany and the world and attaches great importance to individual support, small learning groups and the inclusion of extracurricular learning locations. The DISA is managed by a parents' council and is supervised by the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs and the Central Agency for Schools Abroad. It receives financial and personnel support from the Federal Republic of Germany. The DISA is aware of its social responsibility, awards scholarships, supports local NGOs and is committed to sustainability.
