For 135 years, the Deutsche Internationale Schule Johannesburg (DSJ) has been a place where heritage, diversity and learning meet, a place where traditions are nurtured, where the German language and culture thrive, and where South African Ubuntu creates warmth, vibrance, and belonging.
At the DSJ, our heritage is built on intercultural understanding, respect, and excellence. This is reflected in our daily encounters, our strong sense of community, and the special spirit that unites our diverse school community.
From German traditions to African rhythms, we celebrate a shared story that is rich, dynamic, and deeply connected to both past and future.
Here’s to 135 years of DSJ — honouring where we come from, and inspiring where we are going, together.
