GENERAL INFORMATION BIS SCHOOL PROFILE The Bavarian International School e.V. was established in 1991 as a non profit association (eingetragener Verein) to serve the international community of the Munich area. The school offers an excellent quality education with English as the principal language of instruction. BIS is governed by a Board of Trustees and is accredited by the European Council of International Schools (ECIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). BIS is organised into the Lower School (Pre-reception through Grade 5); Middle School (Grades 6-8), and Upper School (grades 9-12). There are extensive extra-curricular activities at BIS which include sports teams, student government and Model United Nations, clubs and musical and drama programs. The Lower School is an authorised International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) School. The Middle School has been awarded Candidate Status for the Middle Years Programme (MYP). The Upper School (Grades 9-12) offers the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) for students in Grades 9 and 10 and the International Baccalaureate Programme for students in Grades 11-12. Students may earn a BIS High School Diploma and/or an International Baccalaureate Diploma. BIS graduates go on to study at universities throughout the world. In August 1998, BIS moved to a permanent facility located in the town of Haimhausen, 20 km Northwest of Munich. The school campus comprises 5 hectares of land surrounded on three sides by conservation land and a large public forest. This estate is home to a 250 year old Schloss (mansion) modified to suit educational purposes. The campus also has a purpose-built lower school building (opened in January 2007), a Middle School, and a sports hall. A suite of science laboratories, a Library/Media Centre, and a Performance Arts Centre complete the facility. The Upper and Middle School library as well as the Cafeteria have undergone extensive renovations and the community now enjoys a modern cafeteria facility and a beautiful library. Academic guides for the IGCSE and IB Diploma programmes are available from US Office and a copy can be found on the school intranet. These guides describe the programmes and courses on offer in great detail. THE ASSOCIATION OF THE BAVARIAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL The Bavarian International School is a non-profit association (Verein) with an elected Board of Governors. All parents are automatically members of the Association once they have officially joined the school.
