Curriculum
The Private School Swakopmund is a registered school of
Cambridge Assessment International Education.

Grade RR
and Grade R
In our pre-school classes, children are taught in both German- and English-speaking groups.
​
We support each child in preparing for the next steps in their educational journey — with plenty of opportunities for exploration, movement, and creativity.
​
Even our youngest students are active members of the school community and regularly take part in school events,
projects, and celebrations.

Junior & Senior
Primary School
Also at Junior and Senior Primary School levels (Grades 1 to 6), PSS offers both a German and an English language stream.
​
We combine the Baden-Württemberg curriculum (Preschool to Grade 6) with the International Cambridge Curriculum (Grade RR to A Level).
​
In the German stream, students are gradually introduced to English as a language of instruction in Grades 5 and 6.
Starting in Grade 7, both streams merge and continue with English as the primary language of instruction.

High School
​
At the high school, German is a compulsory subject and is taught either as a first or foreign language.
​
Our students have the opportunity to pursue internationally recognized Cambridge qualifications, which provide an excellent foundation for further academic studies or career opportunities both locally and internationally.
​
The following Cambridge qualifications
can be obtained at PSS:
​
· IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10
· AS-Level in Grades 11 and 12
· A-Level in Grade 13.
