Philosophy and values
We are a German School Abroad recognized by the German Federal Government, which is also part of the IB-World School Organization.
Our goal is to make the world more understandable to our students and to offer them a trilingual education with Spanish, German and English.
Trilingualism
In addition to the teaching languages Spanish and German, English is taught as a third language. German is taught from kindergarten and is reinforced throughout the school career.
German classes prepare students to take various German language diplomas. Spanish as a language of instruction and English as second foreign language are also taught at a very high level. Graduating from the German School Managua opens up various study options for graduates in Germany and around the world.
