Curriculum details	Curriculum details European School Munich follows the European Schools curriculum, delivering multilingual, multicultural education from nursery to the European Baccalaureate. The school teaches the official languages of all EU member states through language sections, with pupils placed in a language section based on their dominant language and taught by native-speaking teachers. Language II (German/English/French) is compulsory from the first year of Primary School; Language III starts in the first year of Secondary School; Language IV is optional from the fourth year of Secondary School; Language V is elective from the sixth year of Secondary School. In Primary, European hours promote intercultural learning, supported by the SMiLe team, and KiVa anti-bullying is integrated into the curriculum; the Secondary School is organised into Orientation (S1-S3), Middle (S4-S5) and Upper (S6-S7), with emphasis on multilingualism and subject-specialisation. The European Baccalaureate is the final examination, recognised for university entrance across Europe and worldwide.	Curriculum details Leonardo da Vinci Munich provides a dynamic Italo-German private education from primary through Gymnasium. It blends Italian educational tradition with the Bavarian system, offering a plurilingual and intercultural context. From first grade to maturity, the school supports a continuous path to the Bavarian Abitur, with alternative intermediate qualifications such as QUALI or EMA at the end of grade 9, or MSA at the end of grade 10. There is also a route for students who discover their talents later: by enrolling in grade 11, they can complete the final two years toward the Bavarian Abitur. The Italo-German bilingual setting emphasizes multilingualism and intercultural competencies within a cosmopolitan school community in Munich.
