Educational excellence
Good education is the key to a successful, independent life, so choosing the right school is of great importance. The International Bilingual School Munich is a first-class, bilingual, state-approved all-day primary school. As a certified IB World School, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards. IB World Schools stand for international educational excellence, continuous development and worldwide exchange. We combine the Bavarian curriculum for primary schools with the educational concept of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) which has been tried and tested worldwide. And we are the only school in Munich to offer all this consistently in both English and German. Our private primary school thus offers all children a bilingual education at the highest international level which can be continued at any time at any of approx. 5000 IBO schools all over the world.

Our
Educational Philosophy
The ibsm provides all students with an inspiring, bilingual learning environment in which they acquire a first-class international education. Our private school focuses on the individual child and his or her skills, talents and needs. Our teachers are not simply competent brokers of knowledge, they are also committed companions in learning who encourage the children to indulge their curiosity, investigate the world, ask questions and acquire global knowledge concepts. Unlike traditional forms of teaching, the ibsm focuses on free and project work. The children investigate and discover. They actively design their learning processes in a self-determining manner which, according to the latest brain research, produces very positive learning results. Our bilingual primary school teaches the Bavarian curriculum for primary school which it combines with the internationally-recognised Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the IBO. This results in an integrated curriculum the transdisciplinary approach of which reflects the philosophy and mission of the school and brings it to life.
