German Curriculum International Schools in Munich, Germany

German-curriculum international schools in Munich typically combine the Bavarian (LehrplanPLUS) or other German state syllabus with bilingual teaching and, in many cases, elements of international programmes such as the IB Primary Years or Diploma, so families can find pathways that lead to a Bavarian Abitur, an IB diploma or both. Instruction is most often German and English (with classes taught in one or both languages depending on age and the school’s model), and some schools add French, Spanish or other languages. Annual tuition at private international and bilingual schools in the Munich area varies widely but is commonly in the low-to-mid five-figures (euros) per year; published medians for Munich fall around €11 - 12k with flagship international campuses charging up to the high €20k range for older year groups, and many schools add application, registration, transport, lunch and trip costs. Admissions normally start many months before the school year (some schools open enquiries and applications the autumn before entry, with formal deadlines in winter/spring), though some providers run rolling or mid-year entry and older pupils are often assessed or invited for trial days; for families staying long term, local Bavarian state schools remain a lower-cost, high-quality alternative to consider alongside private bilingual options.
