IBSM collaborates with partners including IKC (International Kids Campus), MINIHAUS München, and the Arbeitskreis Legasthenie Bayern e.V., with International Kids Campus as a strong educational partner. The school maintains an in‑house Feinschliff educational academy that provides regular professional development for staff in early childhood education, team development, and leadership for social professions. Parent voices are featured through Elternstimmen, highlighting a family atmosphere, social skills development, and opportunities for children to learn in a bilingual English–German environment. Community activities include projects and events such as giving gifts to the Munich Food Bank (350 gifts donated in December 2025), Bavarian Day celebrations, and language/cultural initiatives like Mother Tongue Day.
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.
