The school has a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) that serves as the communication platform for school representatives, parents, and parent representatives. The PTA provides opportunities to get involved and make a difference. The PTA meets every Friday near the school kitchen at 8 a.m., offering a relaxed space to connect with other parents, help raise funds, and support expats and locals settling into the city and school. If you have children enrolled at the school, you are automatically a member of the PTA; attendance is optional.

The Advisory Board promotes the International School Braunschweig–Wolfsburg in the Braunschweig region and includes representatives from the mayor's office, businesses, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, parents, Technische Universität Carolo Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig, international associations, and the CJD executive team.
