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 February 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.
