Campus Facilities
The German European School Singapore (GESS) has two campuses located near to the Bukit Timah and Bukit Batok Nature Reserves respectively. Our modern campuses are situated among lush greenery, creating a pleasant and stimulating learning environment.
Main Campus
The Pre-School Department and Secondary Schools of both sections located on this campus have their own buildings and recreational areas, as well as shared areas such as the Forum and playground to create a community feel to the school campus.
Primary School Campus
In August 2008, following a thorough, "green" renovation, GESS proudly opened the doors of its new Primary School campus on Jalan Jurong Kechil which is now home to the students of both the German and European Sections from grade 1 to 5.
