history
Although the German School Erbil was only founded in 2010, it already has an eventful history. The school building in the city center quickly became too small due to the rapidly increasing number of pupils, but the threat from IS in 2013/14 and an economic crisis that began at the same time led to a decline in the number of pupils. After the relative stability of the last few years, this negative development could be counteracted.
construction
The German School Erbil offers a kindergarten with pre-school, a primary school, a secondary level 1, as well as an upper level, which concludes with the mixed-language international baccalaureate (GIB) and in most countries of the world, including Kurdistan and Germany, the admission of a university degree enables. School objectives in secondary level 1 are the German intermediate qualifications from Hauptschule , Realschule and the transition to upper secondary school.
The primary school of the German School Erbil comprises grades 1 to 4 and is structured in a similar way to primary schools in Germany. It is taught according to German curricula. In addition, some subjects are taught in Kurdish and from the fourth grade also Arabic .
organization
The school is run by a headmaster from Germany. A total of 22 teachers work at the German School.
The school is run by the school association, which was founded in 2009. In contrast to many other private schools, it has no intention of making a profit (non-profit). All income generated by the school association goes into running the school.
