Deutsche Schule Kobe/European School
Deutsche Schule Kobe/European School (DESK, or DSK; 神戸ドイツ学院) is a German international school on Rokko Island, in Higashinada-ku, Kobe, Japan. It has a German section, using German as the language of instruction, and a pan-European section, using English as the language of instruction.[1] It serves ages 2-15, from pre-Kindergarten through junior high school.[2]
History
DSK, the second oldest German international school in the Far East region,[3] and one of the oldest schools for foreign students in Japan, was founded in 1909.[4] It was intended to serve expatriate and missionary families from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.[3] The school was established as relations between Germany and Japan strengthened.[5]
It was previously in Nada-ku.[6]
At one time the school had 100 students.[7] Due to decreasing enrollment,[8] in 2002 the DSK established an English-language section.[4] As of 2003 the school had 25 pupils.[7]
