STEM at the DSK A journey into discovery
At the DSK, STEM is more than just a curriculum—we want it to be an adventure. Our unique approach to STEM education is anchored by four guiding principles:
- Stay curious:
We ignite a lifelong passion for inquiry, encouraging learners to explore the unknown and fuel their thirst for knowledge. - Think outside the box:
Critical thinking and creativity are at the core of our STEM curriculum. We empower learners to approach problems with innovative solutions and fresh perspectives. - Experience the power:
Learning comes alive through hands-on projects and real-world applications. - The Magic of STEM:
STEM is not just about facts and formulas; it’s about discovering the magic in the world around us. We love to celebrate the moments when theory meets reality and imagination turns into innovation.

Astrid Schreier
Leading our STEM programme is Astrid Schreier, a dedicated German Biology and Chemistry teacher with over 25 years of experience. Astrid’s enthusiasm for science is contagious, and under her guidance, our learners are not just learning—they are innovating.
As STEM Coordinator at the DSK, Astrid oversees a team of about twenty dedicated English and German-speaking science teachers across various STEM subjects. She leads regular workshops with other teachers to discuss STEM matters and plan projects, ensuring a cohesive and dynamic approach to STEM education.
Under her close guidance, the multi-stakeholder STEM Committee, which includes members of the board, school management, parents, and teacher representatives, plays a pivotal role in driving the DSK’s vision of becoming a leading STEM-focused school.
