About our school:

"Local Roots and Global Understanding"

KIBS is a growing international bilingual school consisting of a nursery, kindergarten, primary and secondary school. We are recognised by the state yet governed independently. We are a non-profit organisation. We offer a challenging and enriching education, underpinned by the flexible, inquisitive and academic German county curriculum but enhanced by teaching methods, materials and resources from a variety of international curricula, including the UK curriculum. Our teachers have the freedom to concentrate on educating the whole child by focusing on flexible and enquiring teaching and learning styles without the distraction of performance data and governmental targets.

Mission Statement:

KIBS wants to be part of shaping the future of bilingual education. Establishing an education based on German and international foundations, we are striving to create a superior quality of education in a school community that nourishes and celebrates all the different talents of our students. This will equip our children to face the ever-changing global world on our doorstep - creating highly skilled individuals and excellent communicators who don't hesitate to take risks and hence strive for excellence, independence and uniqueness in all areas.

Goals: Curiosity counts.

At KIBS children explore their environment with their natural enthusiasm and make use of their own abilities, experiences and insights. Our teachers direct and engage them, capturing the full potential of our young people whilst nurturing them and helping them develop into confident, open-minded individuals. Our main concern is to further the uniqueness of each child and help them advance all areas of their personal and academic attributes.

Curriculum: We are a school working with German core curricula in-cooperating international methods, resources and thinking. Our students sit Cambridge Language Exams throughout their school career, from primary school up to A Level (Abitur).
