Bavarian International School (BIS) in Munich: A leading school for global citizens

If you are thinking about moving to Germany with your family, choosing the right school is an important milestone. In the "metropole with a heart", the Bavarian International School (BIS) with two campuses in Munich and Haimhausen is the first choice.

At this non-profit IB World School, children from the age of three start in Kindergarten and continue their education in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme through Primary School to Secondary School, finishing in Grade 12.

At BIS, academic excellence meets an inspiring international environment - perfect for parents who want to give their children not only knowledge but also self-confidence, values, and the best opportunities for the future.

Here are the top 7 reasons why expats choose BIS:

1. Academic excellence

The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum is one of the most prestigious educational qualifications and opens doors to the world's best universities. 

2. Personalised education

Highly qualified and motivated teachers in small classes ensure that every child is seen and supported according to their individual needs.

3. Teaching future skills

In addition to imparting knowledge and values, the educational focus is on future skills, such as collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking, as well as emotional intelligence, resilience, and digital citizenship.

4. International spirit

With around 1.250 students from over 70 countries and 250 teachers and staff from more than 50 nations, BIS is a truly international school.

5. Holistic development

Learning at BIS goes far beyond the classroom; there are also 80 after-school activities per week, excursions and extra programmes such as the BIS Entrepreneurship Club, Model United Nations, The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award and European Eco-School.

6. Digitalisation & innovation

Whether it's coding, robotics, design tech or the meaningful, reflective use of AI in the Secondary School, state-of-the-art equipment and digitally savvy teachers transform learning into an adventure. 

7. Community spirit

The close-knit cohesion within a diverse global community is another special feature of BIS.

Serving a globally mobile community of families

The Bavarian International School (BIS) was founded, first and foremost, as an international school serving a globally mobile community of families.
