German School of San Salvador
[7] When Dr. Gerd Jaspersen took the leadership of the Círculo Cultural in 1963, he envisioned a German School on Salvadoran soil.[8] After securing funding from Germany for its establishment, the school was inaugurated on March 3, 1965, by the then president of El Salvador, Julio Adalberto Rivera Carballo.[9] The first campus of the German school was located in the Zona Rosa district of San Salvador, on a rented house.The main core buildings were finished, but further expansion was eventually required, so the Asociación Escolar Alemana bought adjacent land as constructions continued.In 2006 the German government built the largest solar energy system in Latin America on top of the school's Kindergarten roof.
