The '''German School of Milan''' ({{langx|de|Deutsche Schule Mailand}}, '''DSM'''; {{langx|it|Scuola Germanica di Milano}}), founded in 1886, is an [[International school|international institution]] located in [[Milan]], [[Italy]].

It is one of the three [[Germany|German]] schools in Italy, the other two based in [[Deutsche Schule Rom|Rome]] and [[Deutsche Schule Genua|Genoa]], in which subjects are taught in both [[German language|German]] and [[Italian language|Italian]].

It follows the [[Education in Germany|German educational program]] from [[Kindergarten|preschool]] to [[Gymnasium (school)|secondary school]], finally leading to graduation with both the German {{lang|de|[[Abitur]]}} and the Italian {{lang|it|[[Liceo Scientifico|maturità scientifica]]}}.

== History ==
The German School of Milan was founded in 1886 as an educational centre for children of German businessmen living in [[northern Italy]].
Due to the drastic historical events of the early 20th century, its address changed numerous times. 
Its current location, close to the historical centre of Milan, was set in 1957 with great acclaim for its [[bilingual]] nature.

In the seventies, the school and the [[Government of Italy|Italian government]] established an educational curriculum which integrates subjects taught in [[Italian language|Italian]] in to the existing program in order to recognize graduates from this school as students of a [[Public school (government funded)|governmental]] "[[Liceo Scientifico|liceo scientifico]]".
This grants them access to [[university|universities]] in both Italy and Germany.

The main building of the school underwent reconstruction and a new building was established for the [[Kindergarten]] and other facilities. The expansion of the school was completed and inaugurated in December 2007.
