The Grammar School of the ERS at a glance

The Grammar school is part of the German Embassy School in Ankara that was founded in 1952 and named Ernst-Reuter-Schule (ERS) after its founder.
The Grammar school team wants to convey the German language, the German culture and traditions and a realistic picture of Germany. Due to the location of our school within the embassy district of Ankara, and a city with many millions residents, our school is also open to pupils from other nationalities. At the elementary school, we already have an active and alive experience of different cultures and languages. It is specifically an important matter in our hearts that the children who have different backgrounds can be able to gain an early experience. Therefore we would like to contribute to the international understanding and the education for peace.
At the center of our pedagogical mentality, we have put the strengthening of the pupils’ personalities and the support of them working independently. From the beginning, our pupils are challenged and supported according to their learning.
