German Embassy School Tehran

German Embassy School Tehran (German: Deutsche Botschaftsschule Teheran, DBST) is a German international school in Tehran.[1] The school serves kindergarten through Sekundarstufe II (senior high school).[2] There is a nursery through class 8 international section.[3]

It shares its campus with the former The British School, Tehran (BST).[4] After the BST's closure in 2011, the DBST acquired the BST's assets and established an international section operating in the former BST campus.[5]

History

The first German school in Tehran opened in 1907. It closed in World War II but reopened in 1955. It closed in the spring of 1980.[6]

The current German school was established in September 1980.[7]

In 2011 the school closed for a period after the 2011 attack on the British Embassy in Iran occurred. Some windows of the German school building were shattered by the siege.[8]
