The German School London is part of a long-standing tradition of excellence in the world-wide network of more than 136 German schools abroad, which are accredited and supported by the Federal Republic of Germany. Children from 1 - 6 live and grow together in the Kinderhaus. In two separate, bright and child-friendly buildings, everything is tailored to the needs of our youngest children.
Sudbrook Kinderhaus has been at the heart of the community for nearly 60 years, teaching generations of children from local families and is now part of the German School London. It is based in a Village Hall on a quiet private road which backs on to Richmond Park where we warmly welcome children from the age of 1-5.
DSL Kinderhaus is set within beautiful and spacious grounds by the River Thames and welcomes children from 3-6 years.
The truly exceptional setting supports the wellbeing, creativity and success of both staff and pupils. An own courtyard and an extensive playground with its own little woodland invite children to play in the fresh air and discover the surrounding nature.
Sudbrook Kinderhaus and DSL Kinderhaus share ethos and values and both offer first-class education in an international and friendly learning environment.
