International Schools in Germany
Education
There are compelling reasons why you might choose to send your children to one of Germany's many fine international schools.
Higher Education / Universities Degree Courses Taught in English
Many English-speaking expatriates are educating their children at Germany's international schools, and an education at such a school has numerous advantages.
German Schools
There is, of course, instruction in the native language. And, since the student body is usually quite international, they expose the young people to a variety of cultures. They also do a better job than most German schools of introducing the students to computers, and the program of sports and extracurricular activities is more like what they are accustomed to at home.

International Schools
Physical plants and facilities are usually quite modern, clean and comfortable, with new equipment more conducive to learning. And the curricula among international schools is uniform, allowing ease of transfer. They usually are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the European Council of International Schools (ECIS) and normally offer the International Baccalaureate. They may also offer the American high school diploma, British A Levels and, sometimes, the GermanAbitur. The costs vary from school to school and in some cases may approximate what a US college education commands: as much as €16,000 per high school student per year. Preschool and elementary school grades may cost 30 to 50 percent less. Additional costs could include transportation, lunches, class trips and various special activities.

20 January 2018, 17 February 2018, 21 April 2018
Learn more about ISR!
accadis ISB is just a short walk from accadis Hochschule, where university students can choose from a variety of management programs. Internationality, scientific principles, practiceorientation and personal development have been the cornerstones of accadis’ success in higher education for over 35 years.
Our Info Days are held on Saturdays and begin at 2:00 pm (click to enlarge photos)
Info presentations are at 2:30 pm Student guided tour of the school after the presentation.
Both institutions are non-profit organisations in private ownership of a Bad Homburg based family dedicated to high quality education. Preparing young minds for a successful life in a globalized world has been the focus of accadis education since its very beginning. With 360 pupils from 38 different nations, it provides an almost intimate atmosphere and plans to slowly expand towards a maximum of 530 students. The accadis Preschool provides a child-centered bilingual learning environment, where children are immersed in two languages, German and English, on a day-today basis. There are two teachers in every group - an English-speaking and a German-speaking one. All activities are conducted in both languages using the Immerson Method. Children are aged 2 to 5. In accadis ISB Elementary School our 5 year old Primary Class students already receive extensive early learning support in all areas of the child's development. This includes intensive training of pre-reading skills (sounds in words, syllables, rhyming etc.) in German. Written language acquisition in English has already begun at this level and is continued through Grade 1. The accadis ISB Elementary School meets the curricular requirements of the State of Hesse and is a state-approved "Ersatzschule", yet the language of instruction is a balance between German and English. The overall effect is that of genuine bilingualism, offering transferability both to international and to German schools. The accadis ISB Secondary School offers differentiated instruction, learning support for individual students or small groups and thorough preparation for the Cambridge IGCSE at the end of Grade 10 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma at the end of grade 12. The goal is to help each student reach his or her individual potential. Additionally, international students can find friends among local families and become immersed in the German culture while German students enjoy an internationally oriented school life. Our educators are both local and international professionals as well as University professors teaching at accadis Hochschule. Please contact the Admissions Office for more information at: www.accadis-isb.com

Bavarian International School BELIEVE. INSPIRE. SUCCEED. The Bavarian International School e.V. (BIS) was established in 1990 to offer a full-day education in English to children from the international community in the north of Munich. Opening in February 1991 with 6 students, BIS celebrates over 25 years of inspiring and challenging young minds! Today BIS has two campuses with a steadily increasing enrolment of more than 1,100 students, representing approximately 50 nations. BIS is an IB World School, authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) to teach the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), and the Diploma Programme (DP). Furthermore, BIS is in the process of being authorised to offer the Career-Related Programme (CP) beginning August 2018.
(click to enlarge photos)
Opened in January 2016, the Bavarian International Click to play video - 2:30 School e.V. City Campus is a fully authorised IB World School, as in Haimhausen, offering the Primary Years Programme thus sharing the common philosophy - a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that BIS believes is important for their students. The BIS Haimhausen Campus caters to students from Early Childhood (EC, age 3) to Grade 12 and is located 10 kilometres north of Munich. Set in a peaceful park-like environment, the historic fully-renovated mansion known as Schloss Haimhausen serves as a focal point with additional purpose-built facilities rounding out the sprawling campus. These include state-of-the-art classrooms with interactive whiteboards, science labs, a collaboratorium, music rooms, art studios, Design workshops with 3D and laser printers, two libraries, two sports halls, a track and field arena, a cafeteria, a performing arts theatre and an auditorium with excellent acoustic, lighting and sound facilities. Students can enjoy their outdoor breaks relaxing under the cover of mature trees or challenging themselves on a variety of playgrounds and climbing structures. There is a hard court for tennis or basketball, several soccer pitches and plenty of green space to run and play. The BIS City Campus, located in the well-known Schwabing neighbourhood of Munich, is a newly renovated facility with capacity for up to 500 students. It caters to children from EC (age 3) to Grade 5. The campus is easily accessible via a range of convenient public transportation options and road links and is an ideal location for families with young children living in and around Munich. The bright, colourful classrooms are well equipped with up-to-date technology, including interactive whiteboards and iPads. Students also have access to laptops to support learning in the classroom or the library. The new campus features dedicated learning spaces for German, English as an Additional Language (EAL) and music, as well as a large cafeteria and a two-story multipurpose sports hall. Students spend their breaks during the day in secure outdoor play areas where they can engage in a variety of lively activities. The Schwabing location also means that students have access to top local amenities to support the school’s sports programmes. BIS Primary School students learn in a cooperative, caring environment, which promotes the development of each child’s individual potential. Relatively small class sizes ensure students enjoy plenty of one-on-one attention from dedicated teachers. Classroom teachers give instruction in English language, mathematics, science, social studies and art, both within transdisciplinary units of inquiry and in single subject lessons, however English is not a pre-requisite to admission. English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is provided for those students who join BIS with limited or no English language skills. BIS also has specialised teachers to teach German and physical education, as well as Library Media Specialists and Technology Integration Specialists to instruct and support students whether in the library or within the classroom. Students participate in weekly assemblies, as well as weekly Elective and Mother Tongue programmes. At the BIS Haimhausen Campus, Secondary School students in Grades 6 – 10 take part in the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP). The MYP is an age appropriate programme of international education designed to help students develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills necessary to participate actively and responsibly in a changing world. BIS offers a broad and balanced curriculum with a strong academic foundation that promotes intercultural awareness and supports and nurtures the physical, social and emotional development of adolescent children. BIS students in Grades 11-12, aged between 16 and 19, will soon be a choice between three programmes of study: since 1992 the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP), starting in August 2018 the International Baccalaureate Career-Related Programme (CP), or the BIS High School Diploma. Based on no particular individual national system, they represent the desire to provide students of different linguistic, cultural and educational backgrounds with the intellectual, social and critical perspectives necessary for the adult world. Having three programmes, which inherently offer a variety of study options, allows the school to cater for all the various needs of our student body. The EAL programme in the BIS Secondary School is designed to equip each student with the social and academic language skills necessary to seamlessly enter the multicultural community and gain unhampered access to learning opportunities at BIS. Through a home language survey, English language skills assessment and review of recent academic records, the EAL Department identifies the level of each student’s English proficiency and recommends appropriate placement in the language acquisition continuum. Students in Grades 6-8 just starting to learn English are placed in the Newcomer Centre where they engage in academic content-based English instruction in the areas of English, Humanities and Science. The BIS Secondary School Visual and Performing Arts Department offers students a range of creative opportunities in visual art, music and drama, both within the academic programme and as extracurricular activities. Sports also play an important role at BIS. Both during Physical Education (PE) class and after school, BIS students are offered a diverse range of sports under qualified instruction. BIS competes regularly in sports competitions against other schools in the region and also participates in the German International School Sports Tournaments (GISST) and the European Sports Conference (ESC). BIS is approved by the government of Bavaria and fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and the Council of International Schools (CIS). BIS is a member of the Educational Collaborative for International Schools (ECIS), the Association of German International Schools (AGIS), the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Internationale Schulen in Bayern (AISB), and the National Association for College Admissions Counselling (NACAC). One of the things that parents value most about BIS is its friendly family-oriented school feeling and strong sense of community. To find out more visit our website at www.bis-school.com. Back to top

Specific support is provided for students with special needs and those for whom English is not a first language. BBIS has a student-teacher ratio of 7:1. As a learning community, the school attaches great value to interaction and cooperation between staff, students, parents, administration, and wider community.

By using the existing network of several thousand IPC and IB schools, internationally mobile parents can avoid the many challenges associated with switching between national education systems. In other words: IPC and IB make education portable.
A mosaic of nations - Many languages - One community Our 750+ students currently represent more than 50 nationalities. We recruit highly qualified, experienced teachers and administrators from all over the world to create a vibrant, nurturing, student-centred learning experience. Many of our teachers serve as IB examiners, curriculum leaders and/or professional development providers. ISH's language of instruction is English, yet speakers of all languages benefit from our English as an Additional Language (EAL) program. Students who arrive with little knowledge of English are enabled to access the curriculum as quickly as possible and go on to thrive in our school. We also provide opportunities for students to study their mother tongue during the curricular day or after school.
Educating open-minded, responsible students to develop their full potential Recognising our responsibility to prepare our students for global citizenship, our mission is to provide them with a values-driven international education which seeks to develop their full potential and to foster understanding, respect for others, freedom of thought and expression, enjoyment of learning and personal responsibility. Our graduates have been able to successfully connect their educational experience to an ever-changing world of employment, advanced study at prestigious universities, the arts, or humanitarian service.

Pioneering international education in Munich Munich International School was the first international school to be established in Munich and, at that time, one of only a handful of international schools to be found throughout Europe. MIS came into existence in 1966 in response to meeting the needs of a rapidly growing international community in Munich. Initially, the School was accredited in the United States and was designed to prepare students for U.S college entrance or for the British G.C.E. examinations. Today, Munich International School is an independent, non-profit International Baccalaureate (IB) World School that has been authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation since 1980. We continue to pioneer new curricula, including as a leading MYP e-assessment school for the IBO. MIS is also officially recognised by the Bavarian ministry of education and fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

Obermenziger Gymnasium - Munich The Münchner Schulstiftung is the governing body of a highly unique program of international education provided by four separate state-certified Munich school entities all managed and coordinated under one organizational roof. Providing individual support in a friendly, caring atmosphere and with a varied daily routine is at the center of all the institutions of the Münchner Schulstiftung. Leading off the list of entities is the Obermenziger Gymnasium - Munich. Providing individual support in a friendly, caring atmosphere and with a varied daily routine is at the centre of all the institutions of the Münchner Schulstiftung. The Obermenzinger Gymnasium is located in the lovely Munich residential district of Obermenzing. With its small size and warm atmosphere, the Obermenzinger Gymnasium provides an environment in which both pupils and teachers feel comfortable and are able to build the foundation for a successful school experience. Obermenzinger Gymnasium is an all-day school that offers a daily routine that alternates between classroom instruction, independent learning and creative activities (AGs). In order to give our pupils the individual attention they deserve, the school strives to keep classes as small as possible. The average class size is currently 21 to 22 pupils. Instruction is carried out within a "two-teacher system". In the lower grades an educational assistant (language assistant in the bilingual track) is in the classroom for most lessons. The educational assistant accompanies the pupils throughout the school day, including during the lunch break and study period. In the middle grades the educational/language assistant continues to support the pupils on a more limited basis - for example in core subjects and in their study period. The educational/language assistant is a student's constant companion and main contact person throughout his or her school day. Starting with the 2013/2014 school year, Obermenzinger Gymnasium offers a bilingual track (German-English) for pupils who are already fluent English speakers. The role of educational assistant in the bilingual classes is filled by the English language assistant. Another unique feature of the Obermenzinger Gymnasium is the ABIplus®. Interested pupils have the option, while working towards their Abitur certificate (general qualification for university entrance), of also acquiring a vocational qualification as an Accounting Data Entry Clerk (VDP); Certified Business Assistant, Department of Information Processing; or a Multimedia Assistant (VBP). With some courses this qualification counts as a recognized professional certification. In the 5th year students can choose between art, music and theatre. Following a rotating schedule, every class can take one period per week for a class discussion on an as-needed basis. These class discussions can be initiated by either the pupils or the teacher. Diverse cultural education, wind instrument classes/choir, a number of elective courses and extracurricular activities such as individual music lessons, diving, boxing, golf, photography and computer hardware courses serve to complement and round off the full educational spectrum. These enhance personal physical, social and intellectual stimulation, development and growth essential for success in academic and professional life. The school psychology team, led by a qualified psychologist (Diplompsychologe), is always on hand to attend to any mental health or emotional issues and to support pupils with educational therapy, if needed. Recognizing the importance of a healthy diet, the Obermenzinger Gymnasium has its own canteen where two chefs prepare two different entrees for lunch for the pupils. Nutritional values are further augmented by a salad bar providing healthy choices and reflecting diverse dietary needs, cultural requirements and personal tastes.

The modern infrastructure includes new interactive whiteboards in all classrooms and well equipped science labs, music facilities and sports hall. Some optional varsity sports (football, track, tennis and swimming) and private music or language lessons round off the program. A private school bus company simplifies the safe transport to the ISR and back to all residential areas in the region. The active parent community plays an important role in assisting the orientation of new families into the school and the surrounding areas to make the transition easier. Starting in Kindergarten, all classes are taught in English by native English speaking teachers. The German curriculum is a fully fledged accredited program. Hence, children are fully immersed in English and German over their entire school career. Additionally, French, Spanish, Mandarin and Japanese are taught. Graduates of ISR have consistently achieved the best IB (International Baccalaureate) exam results - an average of 35 points in 2015 - in the Düsseldorf region over many years. ISR is non-selective with respect to those who enter the IB program. Furthermore, all graduates have entered leading universities worldwide after graduation, such as Cambridge, Berkeley or TU München. As an accredited school, the ISR IB diploma is accepted as "Allgemeine Hochschulreife" in the German system, thus allowing students to attend German universities. ISR offers an English language summer school program for four weeks this year, July 4th - 29th, 2016. Boarding facilities will also be offered, if you would like to give ISR a try. That way you can see if ISR could become your home away from home. Even at short notice, ISR offers a trial day for families and potential students to get a first impression. This gives you and your child an opportunity to "test" the school and see what the school's atmosphere is like.

St.George’s The English International School St. George's English International School has been an integral part of the international community in Germany since 1985 when it was founded by an English family in Cologne. Since then, St. George's has founded further schools in Duisburg-Düsseldorf (2002) and Munich (2013). With over 1700 pupils in its three schools, the success of St. George's School lies in its vision of every child loving going to school. St. George's provides a full school day for pupils aged 2 to 18 and incorporates all school years including (click to enlarge photo) Pre-Nursery and Nursery classes, all the way through to Sixth Form, where pupils study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The Diploma is fully recognised for university entrance in Germany and worldwide. St. George's School, Cologne, also offers a modern and purpose built boarding school for pupils aged 14 to 18. It provides an international family atmosphere with the very best of traditional English boarding. All pupils are given individual support and attention throughout their time at the school, which will also enable them to transition back into their home country's school system if necessary. 45% of St. George's student body is comprised of German pupils and the rest comes from over 60 different nations; hence integration is not only theory but is practiced on a daily basis. A school uniform further enhances integration and solidarity between pupils. All children are introduced and immersed in traditions, holidays and history of the local German culture. It is St. George's School's aim to achieve the highest possible academic standards by having small classes (maximum 20 pupils per class), a dedicated and enthusiastic staff and a positive atmosphere throughout the school. The student-teacher ratio of 7 to 1 allows for individual attention to be placed on each pupil's specific needs, for stronger and weaker pupils alike. Non English speakers are given extra support through the ESL department. The first foreign language taught is German, which is taught at native, second language and beginner levels. All pupils will additionally study either French or Spanish as a third language. After school clubs are offered on a regular basis.
