The Deutsche Schule Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (DSLPA), known in Spanish as Colegio Alemán de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is a German school abroad on the island of Gran Canaria. It opened in 1920 and was recognised by the Federal Republic of Germany as an official German school abroad in 1967; such schools receive German government funding and award German qualifications. The campus is at Calle Lomo del Drago in Almatriche, about 19 minutes from the centre of Las Palmas, and the school reports around 650 pupils.
Teaching follows German curricula and quality standards approved by the Standing Conference of education ministers (KMK). The school is bilingual: classes are taught by native German-speaking teachers, alongside teachers from Spain, England and other countries. Pupils of German, Spanish and other nationalities can stay from nursery to the final exams.
