What the employees say

"What makes me return to GESS each year is the flexibility and freedom to flourish as an educator. In the last 15 years, my class parents and my direct head of primary never failed to give me their full support and trust to develop best practices in my day-to-day teaching. This school gives me a place to engage with kids and nurture in them a love for learning!" Teacher at German European School Singapore

"At GESS, we have fantastic facilities and nice, caring and professional colleagues! For a start, the HR department and supportive colleagues made my transition from Denmark to Singapore very smooth. I have also enjoyed the opportunities to learn and exchange ideas, especially with people from all over the world who have shared values and goals. I enjoy the multicultural and international environment here and have broadened my horizons by both giving to and receiving from peers." Teacher at German European School Singapore

"At GESS, ideas can be developed, grow and be tested in the classroom. Mutual stimulation and multifaceted cooperation is part of everyday life." Teacher at German European School Singapore
