DSKI becomes the first and only fully accredited IB/Cambridge school in Kansai

Join us on the 27th September at 9.00am for a parent cafe to learn more!
Deutsche Schule Kobe International has reached yet another major milestone in its school’s history. We are already using the Cambridge maths and language programme but recently we became a fully registered Cambridge International school.

From Cambridge university in the UK, the programme has become very popular for international primary schools around the world due to high standards.

The Cambridge Primary allows students to establish a strong foundation for their early learning as they advance. It focuses on global themes, critical thinking, and allows students to foster a love for learning, equipping them with the essential skills they need for their current and future education.

This makes the programme a very good fit for our IB framework. So we now formally use Cambridge as our core curriculum integrated into our IB units of inquiry.

DSKI is the first ever school in the Kansai area to offer an education using the IB PYP framework and Cambridge Primary curriculum. We are proud to be part of the world’s largest global community of schools!
