Welcome to Bavarian International School (BIS)

Dear Parents,
A very warm welcome to Bavarian International School (BIS), where 1,250 students from more than 70 nations learn, grow and flourish on our two campuses – our urban, central City Campus in Munich-Schwabing and our sprawling suburban Haimhausen Campus. We offer an excellent education from Early Years (Kindergarten) to Secondary School and graduation (3-19 years old).
Interested in the "School of the Future, already today" or ready to enroll your child or children at BIS? Please simply click above to complete our online forms.
Our friendly Admissions team is available to answer all kinds of questions and provide further information. They are also happy to welcome you for a personal tour and introduction meeting.
Having gotten to know BIS through our website, social media or in publications, let me share something you may not know: in addition to academic excellence, personalised education and innovative learning, BIS offers, above all, a unique community and a home away from home – for the whole family.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to BIS!
Believe. Inspire. Succeed.
Dr. Chrissie Sorenson
Head of School & Executive Board of Bavarian International School (BIS)
