Inspiring global citizens and future changemakers
BIS is more than just a school. It is the place where students from ages 3 to 19 are prepared for the new world of tomorrow. This is where young personalities, global citizens and changemakers grow and flourish.
Across both BIS campuses, in Munich and Haimhausen, education for 1,250 students from 70 nations takes place under the philosophy "Believe. Inspire. Succeed." A team of 180 top teachers 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 65% of future jobs are not even known today," says Head of School Dr. Chrissie Sorenson.
BIS offers unique learning environments with state-of-the-art technology like Design Tech, Computer Science, Coding, Robotics and AI. 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) or The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award.
Academic excellence
As one of the leading international schools in Germany, the average grades in the IB Diploma are more than four points above global average every year. The school is defined by two other distinguishing qualities: BIS is the only IB World School in Germany offering all four IB programmes (PYP, MYP, DP, CP) and a scholarship programme from Grades 9–12.
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 winter 2026–27. 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.
