Deutsche Schule Helsinki (German for "German school Helsinki") is a German-speaking school located in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
The school was originally founded in 1881 through funding from the German consul Freiherr von Lanazan, wealthy German families and the Church of Germany. The school was originally held in various private apartments but now has its own facilities in Kamppi.
The school is open for everyone with an interest in the German language. Most of the students are children of German families living in Finland but there are also native Finnish speaking students. The language studies include compulsory German and English, and voluntary Swedish, French, Latin and Russian.
Students may choose in the 7th grade, if they want to take Swedish or French. Latin is available from the 8th grade.
