Introduction
Jerusalem - The Holy City for three world religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. There where these religions meet is a unique school: the Schmidt Schule.
The Schmidt Schule was founded in 1886 as a private girls' school under Catholic school sponsorship and is today under the ownership of the German Association of the Holy Land (DVHL).
The objective was and still is to offer girls' education at the highest level: intercultural, interreligious, multilingual, holistic and independent of the social and religious background of the students. Today, this offer is taken up by 530 girls of Christian or Muslim faith. Since 2008, the Schmidt Schule has belonged to the circle of 140 German schools abroad worldwide and since 2015 it has held the seal of quality "Excellent German School Abroad".
In May the Schmidt Girls elected their student council for the school year 2025-26. The new student council would like to focus on improving the communication with the School Administration, facilitate the school community and to help making our school cleaner and healthier. The members are:
- Zein Taha (10B) – Präsidentin
- Lina Mahmud (10B) – Vertreterin Abitur
- Eman Khweis (8B) – Stellvertretende Vertreterin Abitur
- Sara Abu Assab (9A) und Zeina Abu Dheim (9A) – Vertreterinnen Tawjihi
- Yasmeena Miara (8A) – Stellvertretende Vertreterin Tawjihi
Congratulations and lots of energy and wisdom in your projects!
Sophie von der Tann, ARD correspondent in the Middle East, visited our school despite her busy schedule and took time to answer our questions. Graduates of former 12B and Ms. Barkowski had prepared the interview and invited the classes 11B and 10B to it. the talk was about good journalism and the challenges of being a journalist in this region. Ms. von Tann also told us which events particularly moved or changed her in her job. Many thanks to Sophie von Tann for this special visit!
In May, 32 graduates received their diplomas at a celebratory event. Congratulations to all graduates of the Abitur and Tawjihi stream.
The Schmidt School organized a special technology week in collaboration with the Techno Geeks Academy. The aim of the event was to promote students' creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills through innovative learning experiences.
Using VR technology, the students explored exciting virtual worlds. This experience promoted spatial thinking and creativity. There was a Play Station corner with group games to promote teamwork and strategic thinking, as well as stations where the students experienced robotics and artificial intelligence in practical workshops. In an interactive cinema (Jumanji cinema) one's own imagination was brought into full swing with the help of sensory technologies.

Sozialfonds Schmidt-Schule
The 'Sozialfonds Schmidt-Schule' covers part of the costs if the families don't have enough money to pay their daughters school fees. In this way, daughters from poor families can also get an excellent start into professional life. Generous sponsors also made it possible to purchase new equipment for the playground, additional books for the school library and stage lights for the auditorium.
