Inspiring global citizens and future changemakers

Across both BIS campuses, in Munich-Schwabing and Haimhausen, education for 1,250 students from 70 nations takes place under the philosophy "Believe. Inspire. Succeed." A team of 180 top teachers from around the world act as mentors, inspiring students and imparting values and future-ready skills alongside academic knowledge. BIS teachers use a highly personalised approach, taking into account the unique strengths and learning needs of each global citizen in their care. "At BIS, we tailor our students' preparation for the new world of tomorrow, where 85% of future jobs are not even known today," says John Barker, Head of School of Bavarian International School. In a globalized world, these skills include the 4 C's of communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking as well as digital citizenship, a cosmopolitan mindset, innovative spirit and the principle of lifelong learning.

BIS offers unique learning environments with state-of-the-art technology like Design Tech, Computer Science, Coding and Robotics, including Artificial intelligence (AI), which is integrated in a meaningful and carefully considered way. Our holistic education goes far beyond the curriculum, e.g. more than 80 After School Activities per week are complemented by special programmes such as European Eco-School, Model United Nations (MUN), The BIS Entrepreneurship Club, or The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. At the BIS City Campus in Munich, a special After School Care programme is available until 6 p.m.

Academic excellence

BIS is a private, non-profit, all-day school (Kindergarten, Preschool, Primary School, and Secondary School) and is one of the best international schools in Germany and Europe. The average grades in the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB DP) are more than four points above the global average every year. The degree opens the door to the best universities all over the world including Germany (from Oxford to TUM, from Harvard to LMU).

The school is defined by two other distinguishing qualities: BIS is the only IB World School in Germany offering all four programmes of the International Baccalaureate (IB PYP, IB MYP, IB DP, IB CP). In addition, as the only international school in Germany, BIS offers a scholarship programme with three awards “Believe,” “Inspire,” and “Succeed”, plus the new Dr. Chrissie Sorenson Scholarship, launching in 2026–27. 

Building the future of learning

As a school of the future, BIS is constantly evolving. That's why the 25 million euro Creativity & Innovation Centre (CIC) is being built to serve as the new heart of the Haimhausen Campus, scheduled for completion in Spring 2027. Spread across three floors and 6,200 square meters, the centre will provide a space where 750 students and teachers learn and collaborate according to the STEAM philosophy: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths.

BIS - a place for everyone to grow and flourish.
