St. Kilian’s Deutsche Schule Dublin is A co-educational German/Irish school with a European culture and spirit for pupils aged 4-18. Kindergarten and Vorschule children are mixed in classes, as would be the norm in Germany. In Primary School the Irish Primary School Curriculum (DoE) with the exception, initially, of the Irish language is taught. Starting on the first day of school at the age of four, St. Kilian’s pupils learn German; however, prior knowledge of German is not a requirement. Having started with German as their first foreign language, the children will learn Irish from 5th and optionally French from 6th class. St. Kilian’s offers extended German tuition in Secondary School which prepares students not just for the Junior or Leaving Certificates, but for the German Sprachdiplom exams at levels I and II. These exams provide them with the language entry requirement to study at a German University. They also ensure that our students leave St. Kilian’s with a language proficiency level in German which is significantly above what is needed for the Leaving Certificate. German School:
