Register for one of the BIS Open Days in 2021 and 2022! 

One of the best international schools in Europe

BIS is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, spanning two campuses in Munich-Schwabing and Haimhausen, where talented, globally-focused educators care for students aged three to 18. 

This private, non-profit, all-day school takes students from kindergarten to secondary school and ranks among the best international schools in Germany and in Europe. With an IB Diploma score average of 37 points, BIS scores clearly above the world average score of 33.

English is the language of instruction, with 21 other languages offered. High-tech learning environments include Apple iPads and MacBooks, with one-to-one instruction, as part of our standard technology suite. 

Holistic education to create well-rounded future citizens

The caring culture of BIS is defined by additional guidance for students at every turn: language and learning support, mentors, school counsellors, and university and career counsellors. 

Last year, BIS graduates achieved an average IB score of 37

Students are encouraged to develop themselves outside of the classroom as well, by taking part in one of 80 after-school activities. These include drama, music, engineering, multimedia, athletics, as well as some signature programmes, such as the Model United Nations, the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, and the Eco School project.
