Valencia is a safe, green city with plenty of parks and play areas for children including the impressive 9km long Turia Gardens running through the city along the bed of the former River Turia whose course was altered to prevent constant flooding in the city.

At Deutsche Schule Valencia (DSV), students should not only acquire specialist knowledge and skills, but also grow up in a social climate that promotes the development of the entire personality. We see the central values of this development in mutual respect and tolerance and in the willingness to assume responsibility.Â
It is important to us as a school community to listen to each other, to accept different opinions, to compromise and to be polite to one another. In order to achieve these values, we develop rules that we, as teachers, adhere to and that we want our students to adhere to. The DSV should be a school with which teachers and students identify and where they feel comfortable.
As an encounter school, we understand diversity as a given and a special obligation. Each pupil should be optimally promoted according to his performance and interests and according to our possibilities and be led to the best degrees.
