Overall

Our son spent two years at the DSL. The experience could not have been worse. First of all, this is a school that is mostly visited by Portuguese children. Therefore the academic level for all classes held in German is very low (so all classes except for Portuguese and hist贸ria e geografia). Native German speakers are underwhelmed and bored. There is no support for gifted children, just additional materials upon request nobody checks in order to offer appropriate continuation. The Portuguese children bully German newcomers, so these stick together and rarely learn Portuguese required in higher years. The teachers scold children that are in any way different, exposing them in front of class. The school psychologists are not there to support the children in need, but themselves go as far to threaten misbehaving or simply children that don't fit the mould. Children denunciate each other constantly just to save themselves from scold by the teachers. Togetherness, joy of learning, and team work are in no way supported as little as academic excellence, personal growth, or leadership. Obedience and order are the only qualities that receive attention or credit. 50% of the grade is awarded for good behaviour and orderly materials. DSL seems like a school, where children are trained to be servants. Or optionally soldiers. If you or your child don't have these aspirations, don't enrol.

Overall

Rarely any German native speaking students. Low level of German spoken by students, as a consequence. Values and life priorities from the school are inverted. I do not recommend any parent to trust their children to this institution, which is highly intolerant. Parents are persecuted if they do not agree with the school's questionable ideologies that it tries to impose on the children since 6 years of age.

Excelente organiza莽茫o e seguran莽a na escola. As actividade extra-curriculares s茫o 贸ptimas. Os alunos ficam bilingues (alem茫o e portugu锚s) e falam correctamente franc锚s e ingl锚s. As minhas filhas adoram.

A escola 茅 p茅ssima. O excesso de estudo prejudica a felicidade e a sa煤de mental do aluno. N茫o deixe a sua crian莽a frequentar essa escola.

Fui aluno desta escola e gostava vivamente de aconselhar a que N脙O coloque o seu filho/a nesta escola. Hor谩rios primitivos, professores altamente subjetivos e injustos (valorizando os alunos de nacionalidade alem茫), uma carga hor谩ria absurda (inclusive nos 煤ltimos anos de escolaridade), exig锚ncia imposs铆vel de acompanhar a todos os n铆veis (visto que naquela escola n茫o existem 谩reas de estudo, como no ensino p煤blico, d谩i cada aluno ter 11/12 disciplinas 脿s quais se tem de aplicar, pois todas contam igualmente)... Sinceramente aquela escola n茫o me trouxe nada de especial, 脿 exce莽茫o da aprendizagem da l铆ngua alem茫 e a desprezar os alem茫es e as suas idiossincrasias. Gostava que tomasse em considera莽茫o o meu coment谩rio, pois acredito que ao n茫o colocar os seus filhos nesta escola eles ter茫o muito melhores hip贸teses a n铆vel acad茅mico e, o mais importante viver茫o um per铆odo escolar com felicidade, pois o tempo da juventude 茅 o melhor tempo das nossas vidas. Obrigado pela aten莽茫o.

Vorsicht: Nur 6% deutsche Kinder, dies ist keine "Deutsche Schule" sondern portugiesische "Schickie-Mickie Schule". Unmotivierte und unfreundliche Lehrer, sehr schlechte Organisation der Schule. Verkehrschaos jeden Morgen, jederzeit kann wieder ein ernster Unfall passieren. Deutsche Eltern nehmen ihre Kinder aus dieser Schule immer wieder raus. Portugiesische Eltern denken ihre Kinder erhalten eine deutsche Erziehung was gar nicht der Fall ist (deswegen auch keine deutschen Reviews hier .... )
