Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Complete the admissions questionnaire to join the waiting list. You will automatically be invited to the next information event or informed when a place becomes available. The admissions procedure for the new school year starts in December, and the first information events take place in October. In January and February, a taster morning is offered for all new students in class 1. Allocation of places is complete by early March.
2. Children joining years 2, 3 and 4 are invited for a taster week, and after this the school decides on admission. Admission criteria are language proficiency, academic standard, attitude to work and social skills.
3. Applications are accepted all year round; allocation of places depends on current availability and the child's specific requirements.
Completing the questionnaire adds you to the waiting list; you will be invited to the next information event or informed when a place is available.
International Bilingual School Munich offers a full-day program and IB World School status since 2017. It combines the IB Primary Years Programme with the Bavarian LehrplanPLUS curriculum for ages 6 to 11 inclusive, delivering core subjects in a bilingual English–German environment. In classes 1 to 4, English-speaking and German-speaking teachers work together under a one language model, with families able to choose a focus language and receive extra instruction. Assessments rely on performance-based methods—PYP portfolios, conferences, and ongoing feedback—alongside periodic standardised tests. IBSM has been state-approved since 2010 and runs four classes, normally up to 25 pupils per class, with all-day sessions from 9:00 to 16:00. The Lerchenauerstraße campus is complemented by a planned Feldmochinger Campus featuring a bilingual library, an auditorium, a roof terrace, and spaces for movement and sport; a Mensa serves meals. After-school activities include breakdance, yoga, swimming and art workshops; social-emotional learning is central to PYP.
