Committees at the CDSC
Dear parents,
CDSC is an outstanding German school abroad and a colorful place of learning, which is characterized by the diversity of cultures that come together here.
We parents want our children to have a good education. The CDSC is an accomplished partner in achieving this goal. The Parents’ Council would like to support the school in this task in the best possible way and is also dependent on your help. Let us know your requests, suggestions and ideas. Feel free to send us an email (timo.fitzka@cdsc.ac.th, nelly.jeske@cdsc.ac.th) or contact us personally at the school.
We look forward to talking with you.

Dear students, teachers and parents,
As your two student representatives, Youl and Jonathan, we are pleased to introduce you to the Student Council (SV).
The Student Council is a group of committed students and teachers who have made it their mission to represent your interests and actively shape school life at CDSC. We stand up for the concerns of all students, whether it’s improving everyday school life, planning projects or organizing events. To this end, we meet every two weeks in our SV meetings.
Our aim is to strengthen communication between students, teachers and the school management and to ensure that your ideas and wishes are heard. We also work together to ensure that our school remains a place where everyone can not only learn successfully, but also feel comfortable.
If you have any questions, suggestions or proposals, the SV is always available to help. We look forward to shaping the school year together with you!
With best regards,
Youl and Jonathan
Education Quality Management at CDSC
All German schools abroad in the German Schools Abroad International Network are obligated to provide the highest standards of instruction and school quality. Across the globe, the ZfA (Central Agency for German Schools Abroad) supports German schools abroad in their efforts to fulfill this obligation. The ZfA systematically helps schools implement their goals for improvement as defined by their quality management plans.
The subsidizing federal and state-level agencies in the Federal Republic of Germany codified internationally recognized quality standards in November of 2006 (updated in 2019) in their publication, “Quality Standards of the Federal Republic of Germany and its States for German Schools Abroad.”
Additionally, schools are supported by facilitators. Within their respective regions, facilitators advise, aid and accompany schools throughout this process. They also track schools’ progress.
