Deutsche Schule Melbourne plans to turn into secondary school

The International Baccalaureate is an internationally recognized Swiss educational program since 1968, that was conceived to prepare students for tertiary education in a bilingual setting. The Deutsche Schule Melbourne is planning on offering this program to their students starting from next year. This would make it Australia's second secondary school to offer the IB Diploma in German and English. We met school director Jörg Dopfer for an interview.
