Academics
Deutsche Schule Lima Alexander von Humboldt teaches German Curriculum, Bespoke Curriculum for students aged 4 to 18.
Curriculum
German-language immersion education is offered from Kindergarten through upper secondary. Kindergarten uses immersion with a native German-speaking educator and a bilingual partner, making German the primary language of daily interaction while providing natural exposure to German culture. In Grundschule, nearly all subjects are taught in German (Castellano is taught with a school-developed Castellano book to complement German instruction); MDK combines music, German, and art within the immersion approach. In Mittel- und Oberstufe, DaF (German as a Foreign Language) and DaM (German as a Mother Tongue) pathways structure instruction; from Grade 5, students develop presentation skills and work with the Doppel-Klick series; the program supports flexible movement between DaF and DaM groups. The upper secondary program leads to the Deutsches Internationales Abitur (DIA) with curricula aligned to the German DIAP framework; DSD I and DSD II examinations certify German language proficiency and aid university admission, while Spanish remains a core language from Grade 1 through Abitur and English and French are offered as additional languages.
Higher Education Progression
The upper secondary curriculum leads to the Deutsches Internationales Abitur (DIA) under the German DIAP framework, enabling access to German universities. Deutsches Sprachdiplom (DSD) I and II language diplomas certify German proficiency for university admission, with DSD I targeted at B1 level and DSD II at B2/C1 levels. These programs provide pathways to study in Germany and other German-speaking institutions, supported by Abitur preparation and ongoing language development throughout secondary schooling.

Admissions

Most subjects are taught in German, and English instruction is a fixed part of the curriculum and becomes mandatory from Grade 5; the school is accredited as an Excellent German international school.
2. Lateral entry into the 5th grade. The second admission option is offered exclusively for admission to Grade 5 and enables students from other schools to begin their studies here without German language proficiency. No German language proficiency is required.
3. Direct transfer from other German-speaking schools. The direct transfer from other German-speaking schools or international schools is possible when a place is available in the corresponding grade.
