Sports, Arts & Music

Music is a powerful tool for communication and language development. Our students enjoy two specialist-led music classes per week, where they develop their musical abilities through singing, learning instruments, composition and music analysis. Following the IB PYP approach, students start their musical journey with the voice, learning English, German and Japanese songs integrated with the units of inquiry. They explore rhythm, melody, and music from different cultures and historical periods, fostering a deep appreciation for the art of sound.

At DSKI, art is an essential part of the curriculum, integrated into the IB PYP units of inquiry to enhance learning through creative expression. Students explore a variety of materials, tools, and techniques, transforming ideas into tangible creations. This process fosters not only imagination and critical thinking but also the development of problem-solving skills.

Art is more than just creating—it’s about discovering new perspectives, engaging in self-reflection, and experiencing personal growth. Through art, students learn to express themselves, find relaxation, and discover the world from different angles.

Physical activity is key to a balanced education. DSKI students participate in two weekly PE lessons, focusing on movement, coordination, teamwork, and fitness. Lessons take place in a variety of engaging environments, including the rubberized school playground, the multipurpose wooden-floored hall, and a nearby grass sports field and a swimming facility. Students learn the value of an active lifestyle while building strength, confidence, and resilience.
