The International School of Bremen was established in 1998 to<br />

serve the international community of Bremen. The school<br />

occupies a purpose-built facility in the Technology Park<br />

adjacent to the University of Bremen. Classes are generally<br />

small and teachers are able to provide individual assistance.<br />

The students range in age from 3 to 18 years and are placed<br />

in grades – preschool through grade 12. The students come<br />

from 35 different countries around the world. The school is<br />

governed by a five member executive board representing the<br />

corporate sponsors of the school. The director is the chief<br />

executive officer of the school and makes all decisions in<br />

conjunction with the executive board. The teachers are from<br />

the United States, Germany, India, UK, Canada and Australia.<br />

All of the teachers are certified according to the standards of<br />

their home countries.<br />

ISB offers an international curriculum drawing upon best<br />

practice from the UK, USA, Australia and the host country,<br />

with all instruction in English except for foreign language<br />

classes. The curriculum in the elementary school is the<br />

International Primary Curriculum. In the early part of<br />

secondary the focus is on IGCSE and in the last two years the<br />

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Specialist<br />

teachers provide instruction in music, physical education, art,<br />

drama and language. An ESL programme is offered for those<br />

students who need assistance with English. A school<br />

counsellor is available to assist both with social and emotional<br />

development as well as academic matters. Parenting classes<br />

are offered, the school is non-selective – however, SEN support<br />

is limited.<br />
