The German Evangelical High School in Cairo (DEO) celebrated its 150th anniversary on Jan. 22, in the presence of the German Ambassador to Egypt H.E. Frank Hartmann.
The event featured a keynote speech from the German Ambassador and musical performances by young children.
In his remarks, Ambassador Hartmann said: "At many conferences and receptions, I always meet the outstanding graduates of the German schools abroad – they are prominent in many sectors, such as business, politics, administration, education, and culture."
Hartmann also took this occasion to confer word of praise upon DEO’s graduates, saying: "They are distinguished bridge builders for Germany and Egypt as well.”
"With its international approach, the DEO is not only an educational institution, but also an example of lived reality on the way to solving global problems together,” he noted.
The ancient school is a well-established German-Egyptian cultural convergence school, and a recognized German school abroad sponsored by the German-speaking Evangelical Church in Cairo, dating back 149 years, one of the oldest, best and largest German schools abroad in the world.
DEO is well-known for its high level of education, which it was able to reach with efficient teaching and students who are passionate about doing well.
It has a spacious campus in the Dokki neighborhood, not far from the Nile.
In October 2019, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas inaugurated the new building for the upper stage, and with state-of-the-art equipment, lessons are held digitally.
